Plays a smooth sequence using the right and left hands in turn and controls the move from one hand to the other.
Topic
Your two hands are a team. Today they learn to pass: one you, one me!
Prior knowledge
Left-hand and right-hand five-finger positions.
Teacher note
Blue keys are for the left hand, green keys for the right hand. Tell students to keep both hands resting in their positions without lifting them off the keyboard. In the ‘Bounce and Catch’ step, every note is a ‘bounce’.
Lesson steps

- Question and answer: the left hand asks (C–D–E), the right hand answers with the same notes, higher up.
- Staircase game: the left hand walks down, the right hand climbs up.
- Watch and repeat: a two-hand climb.
