Differentiation

Remember that in Music, pupils you might expect to need support may not need it and those you would class as working at greater depth in other curriculum areas might need support.

Pupils needing extra support: Complete the actions and movement with them so they can see something to copy if needed.

Pupils working at greater depth: These will be the natural leaders, use the performance opportunities to get them to show the class their movements and facial expressions
