Learning goal

Remembers melodic sequences that get longer and longer, by ear and by sight, and plays them in the right order.

Topic

Memory chain: listen, remember, play. The chain gets a little longer every round!

Prior knowledge

Has finished the echo games.

Teacher note

In the first chain the keys light up; in the second chain there is only sound. After a wrong note, the chain is played again and the round starts over; there’s no penalty. A different chain is made every time the lesson starts.

Lesson steps

  1. Watch and listen, then play in the same order. The chain gets longer every round!
  2. This time the keys don’t light up: remember it with your ears only.
