Differentiation
Pupils needing extra support: Rotate around the class giving support where needed. The lower part (pattern 2) is slightly easier than pattern 1, so you can swap pupils onto this part if they find it easier.
Pupils working at greater depth: Give these children the bass line part to play (this is marked ‘Bridge’) – F F C C, G G C C, F F C C, G G G G, which is slightly more complicated as it does not move by step.
