What this activity helps teachers do
Keep pupils active in the music
Recognise structural, dynamic and articulation symbols, match each mark to its name and distinguish symbols with similar shapes.
Use a clear teaching route
Group symbols by what they control, demonstrate each dynamic or articulation with a voice or instrument, and ask pupils to explain a mark before colouring or matching it.
