Lesson 1 - Introduction to the concept of 4 chord songs.
Performance: Year 8’s would know how to build a chord but they spend time recapping the skill and practice transitioning from C, to F, to G from the Blues Unit and and ensure they’re playing the 4 chord song chord progression accurately and fluently. 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.
Listening: The link to a school friendly version of Axis of Awesome is in the slides, you could extend this by finding more recent examples for students to relate to.
Lesson 1 of 6, suitable for year 8 and 9 and very adaptable for your schools needs.
