Teacher Techniques: Pupils with additional support needs - Golden

Berenice doesn’t have much experience delivering music lessons but she’s eager to do more music in the class room. Watch as she delivers a lesson for pupils with Down’s syndrome and autism.

Using the song Golden as inspiration, Berenice splits up the lesson into three sections:

  • listen to the song Golden
  • free play with musical instruments
  • play along to the song

At the end of the activity Berenice reflects on the session and gives out tips to help you plan your lesson.

Take a look at the Golden lesson plan and lyric sheet in preparation for your lesson.
