Ralph has chosen this song as he loves it. It’s a song he’d love to be able to play on guitar. Ralph has stated he loves to play his guitar. However he gets frustrated when he try’s to play it on his own. He often has his guitar out when he is relaxing in the unit and has stated he wants to write a song about his mum. Ralph actually sung part of a song he had thought up. The lyrics were very warm towards his mum. However this song was very short and maybe if Ralph gets better at the guitar with these lessons he will be able to put a whole song together about his mum. This would be a very positive event as Ralph finds it very difficult to talk about his family at all. I spoke with Ralph and asked him what music he liked so that I could tailor his lessons around his likes instead of boring things he doesn’t know about. We looked out music in the school library but eventually settled on Ralph’s idea of looking up the music on Google. To ensure Ralph learns the quickest and easiest way possible I found a guitar chords sheet and a guitar chord document (below) to help him understand the music better. Arrangements
I spoke with my team leader and asked if this would be a good thing to take forward as Ralph has requested it. This was confirmed and she stated that not only would Ralph be learning and achieving but maybe as things develop staff will learn off of Ralph with regards to his opinions on family. My team leader also stated this would be an excellent morale boosting experience as staff will be sitting down with him for long periods, investing their energies and sourcing positive and constructive resources to help support and inspire him.

The theory of the guitar was discovered in the early centuries. They found that the sound of a bowstring could be enhanced by attaching a ...
When and Where?
I arranged the key time lesson to take place at 6pm.
This gives plenty of time for Ralph to complete school, routines, have dinner then attend his lesson. It was agreed the School block music room would be
used as the lesson area. This is well lit and ventilated and most importantly private and quiet on the eveningsMaterials and Resources The music below was taken from:

I then went on to google and printed out a guitar chord guide (below) and placed one on Ralph’s bedroom wall at his request. I also used one for our lesson. Guitar Chord fingering patterns

I also used my an iPad the school block to help Ralph with playing the chords. The application I used has an amazing interface and shows videos of how to play chords. This was just another innovative way of helping Ralph learn instead of always using boring old methods like paper and books.

Task Centred Practice Application
Problem exploration
I identified Ralph’s needs and responded to requests to develop his guitar playing. I contacted seniors and asked for advice and worked on completed the plan above. Agreement
Ralph and I spoke about having lessons. We agreed I would complete a lesson and work with Ralph to pick a song. I agreed to pick up the resources. Formulation of objective
I put together the lesson plan (above) and both Ralph and myself gathered the resources. The plan was intricately detailed. Achieving task
I went to work on the 15th August. I received a changeover from staff on all of the service users. We then discussed and confirmed our plans for the evening. I ensured all staff were aware of my plan and had a print out of the details. They supported and congratulated me on this. The lesson went ahead and Ralph struggled to follow my instructions at first. However, he went on to really impress and progress throughout the lesson. Termination
The activity finished at 725pm. This was over the planned time of one hour due to Ralph’s desire to continue. It was stopped at this time to allow Ralph to complete his night time routines as his Pen Picture states, at 7.30pm. I praised Ralph throughout for his concentration and enthusiasm after a long school day.
Verification
See below letter from my manager stating the activity was planned as above, carried out professionally and completed.
