If, like me, you REFUSE TO DRAW THE LETTERS ON THE KEYBOARD… then look no further - the Draw-A-Keyboard Tango is here! This is my go-to cover lesson, homework, Do Now and remote learning resource. I tend to run it multiple times to aid memory, and turn it into a class competition - who can get 8 marks out of 8? So, what do you get? My Draw-A-Keyboard Tango video An instrumental version without my singing The Draw-A-Keyboard worksheet with mark scheme AND three pages of notation questions for your cover lessons. NEW FOR LOCKDOWN - a link to the Draw-A-Keyboard Online, using Google Drawing - you can set this on your Google Classroom and give your feedback! I hope you enjoy the Draw A Keyboard challenge… or, I hope the students get 8 out of 8 quickly so they don’t have to hear it ever again.

Lockdown 2020 brought new challenges for us music teachers! I dedicated myself to making the best online resources I possibly could, and I proud and pleased to be able to share this tried and tested resource. What’s in it? Two videos that cover objectives, success criteria, the treble clef and how to identify notes, and how to correctly warm up and play Ode to Joy on the keyboard (transposed to C for ease of learning), A PDF and Powerpoint worksheet connected to the video lesson A PDF and Word document also connnected to the lesson A link to all these resources online so you can copy, download and set in your own online learning portal, and mark remotely. I hope you enjoy my resource! Please check my TES page for tons more!

Worth every penny.” “I really liked this quiz and the fact that each round ran as a video. Super easy and engaging for students.” “We loved it at our school, we had TAs wanting to do it too! If I had to be picky, I’d appreciate a slightly longer quiz (we have hour long lessons) but only because I enjoyed it so much!” “They loved Rick Rolled! As in really loved it. They also loved Disney villains. They also loved 10s and 20s they were brilliant!” “Used for end of year lessons, students thoroughly enjoyed it!
