Lesson 2 - Develop students understanding of the concept of 4 chord songs.
Performance: Year 8’s would know how to build a chord but they spend time recapping the 4 chord song chord progression accurately and fluently from last lesson. They’ll be then exploring bass clef and learning how to compose basslines using root notes and passing notes. There is emphasis on the correct technique, using fingers 1, 2 and 4 to play chords.

Levels of challenge can be applied, from just holding the chords, adding a simple rhythms/ developing the rhythm beyond 1 beat/ 4 beat notes. Basslines could be developed into riffs.

Lesson 2 of 6, suitable for year 8 and 9 and very adaptable for your schools needs
