- 4 Step Approach
- This is the key to the success of the program, but can equally be used in the normal music classroom.
- It enables students to learn more complex songs phrase, by phrase.
- Teacher uses fingers to show which step they are up to:
1. T sings – Stu listen
2. T sings – Stu mouth the words
3. T sings – Stu mouth the words & show the melodic contour.
4. Students Sing as Teacher listens (doesn’t sing with students) determining whether students have successfully ‘caught’ the phrase. If errors, then T sings again while asking students to show their learning in some way.
