  • Invite a student or fellow teacher that plays guitar or another string instrument to class for an up-close harmonics lesson
  • Do a formative check after learners complete each level to make sure they're on track

Classroom Considerations

  • Pupils must complete the beginner level interactive before proceeding to the other levels

Pros

  • The resource gradually builds toward mastery of standing wave terminology and calculations
  • Great related resources help you take learning further

Cons

  • None
