Adaptive teaching

Pupils needing extra support

Could be given a selection of colours, shapes or patterns to represent the music; could just recognise the very loud and quiet sounds, rather than acknowledging those in between.

Pupils working at greater depth

Should be encouraged to use musical terminology when describing the music; should represent volumes other than loud and quiet, e.g. ‘very loud’, ‘very quiet’ and all levels in between.
