\"\"<\/a>This is a great drill game for 4 or more students.<\/p>\n

To play:-<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. You need 4 cards that need drilling (whether it be\u00a0a rhythm or notes – ie Semibreve, Minim, Crotchet and Quaver)<\/li>\n
  2. Stick duplicate cards up in the 4 corners of your room (unless students know from memory – to make it harder).<\/li>\n
  3. Students need to pick a corner of the room to stand in.<\/li>\n
  4. You hold up a drill card.\u00a0 The students who are standing in the corner of the room that matches the drill card are out.<\/li>\n
  5. Continue playing until you have one student left – they win a prize.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    You can use this game to drill so many things:-<\/p>\n

      \n
    • Theory terms (tempo, dynamics – intensity of sound, other terms, string terms).\u00a0 Have these four general headings in each corner of your room.\u00a0 Hold up\u00a0 terms from your Manual of Syllabuses to drill your students.\u00a0 Variation: Students have to put their hand up if they know what the term means.\u00a0 First person to put their hand up gets to answer.\u00a0 If a student can\u00a0answer correctly, they are safe.<\/li>\n
    • Note values.\u00a0 You can have ‘Semibreve’, Minim’, Crotchet’ and ‘Quaver’ up in the corners of your room.\u00a0 A great drill for younger students.<\/li>\n
    • Theory Tunes.\u00a0 There are three tunes of course, but you can add a random one of your own.\u00a0 Students need to recognise the tune that is being played.\u00a0 If they are in the corner of the tune being played, they are out.<\/li>\n
    • Rhythms.\u00a0 If you have some particularly tricky rhythms, choose 4 of those, have your own set of\u00a0flashcards\u00a0and either hold one up or clap randomly.\u00a0 If students are in the corner of the rhythm you are clapping, they are out.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
