Abstract

Playing of song accompaniments on keyboard instruments in the music teacher's preparation is usually limited to a few models. The main criterion is also a certain simplicity schematisation, which is designed to ensure easy selection of the accompanying model of a small number of possibilities.

The spectrum of escorts may be varied and yet the game can be easy. It is possible to use ostinata and organ-points.

These kinds of accompaniments have a great property, they develop polyphonic feeling. The advantage of such accompaniments is, even pupils can create and play on children's instruments or they can sing it.

So, they are an important prerequisite for the application of creative activities. These kinds of the accompaniment are variable, so that the teacher can adapt it to the character of songs and also to the abilities and skills of pupils.
