Learner choices

Target/codes: compare V V S S with V S V S as two different dynamic shapes over the same four positions; AC9AMUFD01. Prepare: C two-shape board, Practice D.

  1. Welcome · 3 min. Keep four places and the same source. Name only what the marks plan.
  2. Model · 4 min. Trace the top row, then bottom row. Top lifts once and stays S; bottom alternates V/S. Both start V and end S; neither is a new pitch melody.
  3. Try together · 5 min. Child locates the first place where rows differ: place 2. Overlay two broad raised rows or read each neutrally.
  4. Child choice · 7 min. Child selects a score for a fictional small light turning on, a garden drawing or a plain phrase, and gives a musical reason. Allow “neither; I will revise one mark.”
  5. Notice · 4 min. Save chosen row, first difference and stated intention. Do not record that another listener felt the intended effect.
  6. Close · 2 min. The next score is unfamiliar and answered independently.
