Differentiation
Pupils needing extra support: Should play the Sheet music: What’s the story? (tuned percussion part 2) which has an easier technical difficulty level (due to more stepwise movement).
Pupils working at greater depth: Should play the bass line sheet music which has a harder technical difficulty level (due to the ‘leaps’ between the notes and the fact that there are two notes in each bar).
