This powerpoint is the first in a series of lessons exploring music history - Big Band Music of the 1930s - 1940s!
The powerpoint has links to relevant online music recordings, facts, diagrams and allows students to explore the instruments of the big band and the 32 bar song structure. It culminates in a personal research project.
The powerpoint can also be used as a starting point for practical work or a composition task based around this musical time frame.
This powerpoint links with the Year 3 topic 1 (Popular Music) of the Middle School Curriculum that is for sale. However, this lesson will work perfectly for High School students.
