Work out by ear how to play short, easy well-known tunes or accompaniments using a limited range of notes

Using a melodic virtual instrument, show learners how to work out the notes and rhythms of simple, well-known pieces by ear and ask them to play them to others.

Ask learners to work out straightforward scale patterns and arpeggios by ear, giving them a suitable starting note.

Ask learners to begin to identify intervals such as thirds, fourths, fifths and octaves using well known songs e.g.:

• Major third – Oh When The Saints
• Perfect fourth – Here Comes The Bride
• Perfect fifth – Twinkle Twinkle Little Star
• Octave – Somewhere Over The Rainbow
