Lesson 4 - Keyboard Skills.

Students continue to apply their understanding of the finger system from Lesson 1 and develop their understanding of pitch and notes on a stave.

New Learning - Students learn about the black notes on the keyboard. Misconceptions include these being major/ minor. make it crystal clear these are just extra notes on the keyboard for students to use in their playing.

Accidental mountain is a nice story for students to see that sharp rises and flats lower the pitch of the note. The pieces in the lesson are carefully picked to practice using the black keys. the Wii Mii theme tune and Hall of the Mountain King develop all the skills the students studied in lessons 1-3 and introduce them to using the black notes.

This task can be scaffolded by breaking the music into small bars and focusing on the right hand melody Students can also be challenged by applying their left hand too if they can and apply an appropriate tempo/ dynamic changes.
