Flute
This familiar nursery rhyme has been given a cheeky accompaniment to enable
older children to play a young child’s tune without losing their pride! Divide the
class into two groups: one plays while the other provides the Baas – swap parts
when the tune repeats. Everyone plays the last bar.

• Fast rock version
• Slow jazz version
A simple starter: students play repeated crotchets on B, with two-bar rests between
each phrase. Two di erent accompaniment versions are provided for the same
students’ part: fast rock and slow jazz. There are several advantages to this: you can
ask students to repeat the piece without their becoming bored or feeling they are
just doing it again, while you can check that everyone’s
ngering/embouchure/posture is correct. It also introduces students to the idea of
listening to the accompaniment while they are playing. Ask them which version
they prefer, and why (there are no correct answers!).
