Repeat longer and more complex phrases, involving different tempi, keys, tonality, and transpositions where appropriate

Encourage learners to play back longer and more complex musical extracts from memory, using a wide range of styles, e.g. raga, hooks and riffs, ritornello.

Ask learners to practise repeating patterns that may include irregular rhythms, augmented and diminished intervals and asymmetrical phrases.

On drum kit and other untuned percussion, ask learners to play back phrases of an extended length, including more complex fills and rhythms within a range of styles.

If a piano/keyboard is available, play a three- or four-part chord or simple chord progression and ask learners to play the upper, inner and lower parts in turn; alternatively, allocate a part to each learner and ask for each chord to be played separately, then as a progression.

As an extension activity, discuss whether the chords are major, minor, diminished, etc. and which position/inversion they are in.
