• Fast rock version
• Slow jazz version
Two simple starters: students play repeated crotchets on C, with two-bar rests
between each phrase. Two di fferent accompaniment versions are provided for the
same students’ part: fast rock and slow jazz. There are several advantages to this:
you can ask students to repeat the piece without their becoming bored or feeling
they are just doing it again, while you can check that everyone’s
ngering/embouchure/posture is correct. It also introduces students to the idea of
listening to the accompaniment while they are playing. Ask them which version
they prefer, and why (there are no correct answers!).
