1. Describe how you might contribute to a lesson given to a group of seven year old children learning to play percussion instruments?
Before setting out any of the equipment I would assist the teacher with checking the instruments over to make sure they are not broken and that there isn’t any health and safety issues that would have to be noted down.
I would assist with helping the group of seven year old children by helping to set out the instruments needed, I would set them out in a way where all off the same instruments where together.

I would praise the children which are doing well as positive reinforcement can help to raise a child’s confidence.

I would make sure that we have the right amount of instruments for each child to either share one between two or one each. I would also make sure each child have a music...
