Lesson Overview

Unit on performing instrumental accompaniments.
Previous lessons which prepared the students for this lesson include working with the pentatonic scale, rhythmic understanding of quarter, eighth, half, and sixteenth notes and rests, singing alone and with others as well as the proper way to play barred percussion instruments.
This is the third of four lessons.  The concept of accompanying using written melodic notation is the lesson which will then lead to the fourth and final lesson of this unit with reading melodic notation and incorporating improvisation.
