Help me to play motifs from songs on an instrument or a tablet
Soundabout Life: Level 4 | Card: 39 | Category: Proactive
Encourage me to make up and repeat my own motifs as well

- Stick a tactile or visual marker on ‘middle C’ on a keyboard and show me where it is
- Show me, by gently guiding my hand if necessary, how to play patterns of three or four notes next to each other that go up from C
- I might prefer using one finger to start with, moving my whole hand along to the left or right to hit the next key
- If I have the capacity for fine motor control,encourage me to use my thumb too, and then,one at a time, my other fingers – try either hand
- Using the help of a trained musician if needed, show me how to play some of the jingles, ringtones and other bursts of melody that I hear around me, and ideas from Soundabout Music Tracks: Motifs
- Do the same thing with touchscreen technology
