This resource comprises 10 worksheets designed to secure, revise, and test knowledge of Scales and Modes. Aimed at Key Stage 4 Students, each worksheet should take around 15 minutes to complete, making them perfect on an individual basis for homework tasks, tests, distance-learning, revision activities, and collectively, as full cover lessons suitable for a supply teacher. If you use it for the latter, you needn’t worry about coming back to a huge pile of marking because full answers and a detailed teacher guide are also included in this resource pack, so students can mark and correct their own work, and teachers with limited specialist subject knowledge are thoroughly supported. Specifically, the worksheets incorporate the following types of activity: identifying major, and harmonic and melodic minor scales using fixed-interval semitone patterns (for both the bass and treble clef); adding accidentals to create major, and harmonic and melodic minor scales (in the bass and treble clef); using key signatures to create associated major, and related harmonic and melodic minor scales (in bass and treble clef notation); identifying Dorian, Phrygian, Lydian, Mixolydian, Aeolian, and Locrian modes using fixed-interval semitone patterns (again, in both the bass and treble clef); creating modes on different starting notes using knowledge of fixed-interval semitone patterns (on bass and treble staves). In total, there are 138 questions spread across 10 high-quality worksheets which will keep students busy for over two hours. I take great care to ensure my resources are of the highest quality – both in content and in presentation – and I wholeheartedly recommend them to both you and your students. I welcome feedback and enquiries from my colleague-customers all over the world, and I can be contacted directly at rainynightmusic@hotmail.com. I would be delighted to hear from you, and I thank you for considering this resource for your classroom.

**A set of 3 tiered Music Bingo Games based on rhythmic dictation. Level 1 would be suitable for beginners to reading music; Level 2 would be suitable for slightly more experienced readers; Level 3 for more confident students. ** Each of the 3 Bingo Games in this set has 15 different one-bar rhythms – 45 unique rhythms in total. Each game has 12 unique playing cards, which can very realistically be doubled up for a class of 24 students. Each game also has a master calling card containing 2 clues (one easier, one more difficult) to dictate each of the 15 rhythms on the calling card. Each unique playing card has a total of 9 of the 15 rhythms on it. This set of 3 is specifically designed to facilitate and accommodate progress, primarily in aural dictation, although rhythms can also be read out if students are not experienced in writing down rhythms by ear. Nonetheless, 45 x (short) MP3 files are included in this download to enable the teacher (or even a non-specialist supply teacher) to run this as a listening activity; there are 15 x MP3 files for each game. The Level 1 game is suitable for beginners, being based exclusively on simple minims, crotchets, and quavers. No note pitches are used; rhythms are presented on a single-line percussion staff. The Level 2 game is suitable for slightly more experienced musicians, being based on quavers, and both simple and dotted minims and crotchets. Just like Level 1, no note pitches are used; rhythms are presented on a single-line percussion staff. The Level 3 game is suitable for more confident musicians, being based on semiquavers, and both simple and dotted minims, crotchets, and quavers, including ties. Again, no note pitches are used; rhythms are still presented on a single-line percussion staff. This set is available as part of a 6-pack Bingo Bundle, here: [https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/music-bingo-bundle-12178022].

If you use it for the latter, you needn’t worry about coming back to a huge pile of marking because full answers and a detailed teacher guide are also included in this resource pack, so students can mark and correct their own work, and teachers (or parents) with limited specialist subject knowledge are well supported. Specifically, the worksheets incorporate the following types of activity: adding beams in simple and compound metres, focusing particularly on rules regarding crossing the centre of the bar; re-writing 4-bar rhythms using tied notes to correct errors in note grouping and placement in both simple and compound metres; re-writing 4-bar rhythms using the correct rests to correct errors in rest grouping and placement in both simple and compound metres; adding barlines to complex rhythms which include double-dotted notes and rests in both simple and compound time; re-writing short 4-bar rhythms which contain a variety of errors taken from all topics in Worksheets 1 to 8 (beams, tied notes, rests, double-dotted notes and rests). In total, there are 110 in-depth questions spread across 10 high-quality worksheets – all of which include helpful, relevant information and guidance for the students, and should keep them busy for well over four hours. There is also a full teacher guide with suggested solutions for common problems, which will help you to support the learning in whatever environment you find yourself teaching.

The Level 1 game is suitable for beginners, being based on root position major and minor triads found in major and minor keys up to 3 sharps and flats. All chords are presented in the treble clef. The Level 2 game is suitable for slightly more experienced musicians, being based on inverted major and minor triads found in major and minor keys up to 4 sharps and flats. Although chords are still presented in the treble clef, the second set of clues offer more of a challenge than those in Level 1: eg. ‘This chord is the tonic/ subdominant/ dominant of A major’. The Level 3 game is suitable for more confident musicians, being based on inverted major, minor, augmented and diminished triads found in all major and minor keys.

**A set of 3 tiered Music Bingo Games based on key signatures. The unique triple-tiered set of clues for this pack makes each game customisable for a range of different abilities. ** Each of the 3 Bingo Games in this set has all 15 standard key signatures, which are presented in a variety of clefs. Each game has 12 unique playing cards, which can very realistically be doubled up for a class of 24 students.

Each unique playing card has a total of 9 of the 15 key signatures on it. This set of 3 is specifically designed to facilitate and accommodate progress, whilst at the same time being extremely flexible. This set contains 3 different tiers of clues, enabling the teacher to focus on anything from counting accidentals and familiarisation with the relevant clef (Clue 1), to thinking about relative minor keys (Clue 3). As such, you can choose to make Level 1 relatively hard, and Level 3 relatively easy simply through choosing which set of clues to read. Nonetheless, the Level 1 game is based on the treble clef; the Level 2 game is based on the bass clef; the Level 3 game is based on the alto clef.

This movement is ideal for study as part of the Stage 6 Music 2 HSC Program. As a full first movement from a Romantic Concerto, it fits into the mandatory area of study Western Music 1600-1900. A Sibelius score is an exceptionally powerful tool to have for analysing chords, themes, motives, and much more, at the click of a button. There are clear advantages of having a Sibelius score as a study aid. With the later versions of these scores, you can isolate individual parts to show melodic lines and harmonies more clearly, you can use the chord analysis and ‘find motive’ functions making analysis quicker and easier – and there are several other analysis plug-ins that Sibelius offer, making your life much easier. Another clear advantage of having a Sibelius Score in addition to a paper one is that it is an invaluable aid to improve score-reading: the playback line runs along with the music and students can better see what is happening. Certainly, my students all benefited from Sibelius scores for their set works – this particular Sibelius score (all 11 minutes of it) is the longest one I have ever input into the software! A complete list of versions included in this download pack is as follows: Sibelius 7.5; Sibelius 7; Sibelius 7 First; Sibelius 6; Sibelius 6 First; Sibelius 5; Sibelius 4. If you would like an earlier version, please just email me, and I’ll add it to the resource pack. Also included in the pack is a high-quality soundcard MP3 extraction of the full score for you to use in the classroom. I really hope that you will enjoy my resources and find them useful.

This structured resource pack is an excellent introduction to analysing music and is perfect for youngsters aged approximately between 5 and 8 years. Students use their knowledge of colours to help them understand musical features relating to the musical elements. Five whole 1-hour lessons are included in the pack with fun, themed colouring worksheets for the students, Detailed PowerPoint with audio links (tested and working as of April 2020) and full teaching guidance so that you feel completely supported whether you are a music specialist, or not. It is easy to deliver. Full Details: How this works is as beautiful as it is simple. There are 5 themed lessons, each with its own colouring-in worksheet: In the Woods; Beneath the Sea; Out on Safari; On the Farm; Up In Space. A specific piece of famous classical music is the focus of each lesson, and the music has some kind of link to the theme. For instance: In the Woods is Vivaldi’s Autumn from the Four Seasons; Copland’s Hoe-down is the one for On the Farm. Each student worksheet has 8 pairs of statements. Two of the eight are opinion-based (such as ‘I like/ do not like this music’). The other 6 are related to musical elements and specific features of the piece of music used for the lesson. For example: The music is fast/ slow. Each statement has a colour pattern to use, and where statements are a little more complex (such as ‘I can hear only stringed instruments’ or ‘I can hear wind and stringed instruments’) they can link their knowledge of colour to reach the right answer. For instance: a child of 5 or 6 years old probably doesn’t know what a string orchestra sounds like, but they know that a bee should be black and yellow, not blue and pink. So, to colour a bee, they know the statement for the black and yellow colour pattern is correct. Accordingly, they know they can only hear stringed instruments. As they colour, and listen to the music (which they must be encouraged to do) they begin to subconsciously learn ‘what a string orchestra sounds like’. This system allows young students to develop musical analysis skills by building on prior knowledge of colour - not to mention becoming acquainted with composers and music from the Baroque, Classical, Romantic, and Modern eras. Furthermore, the opinion-based questions (like/ dislike; mood changes; interpretation, etc) offer excellent opportunities for the teacher to lead group discussions. All of this comes with full resource support for teaching and learning. I thoroughly recommend it. I really hope that you will enjoy my resources and find them useful. I pride myself on the quality of the resources that I publish, and I welcome feedback and enquiries from all of my colleague-customers across the world.

There are up to 3 hours of content in this pack, which covers each of the 6 musical eras of the Western Classical Tradition, a 900-year musical journey! It’s a great introduction to the musical eras and because of the way it is designed and structured, it is also an excellent choice for cover work. Each of the six musical eras from the Medieval to the 20th-Century has its own reading, writing, and listening activity, with a further True or False activity for Medieval and Renaissance, Baroque and Classical, and Romantic and 20th Century, to deepen understanding. While students complete the reading and comprehension activities for each era, there are YouTube links provided to suitable and interesting pieces of music to play in the background, giving students a ‘flavour’ of the era that they are reading about and answering questions about, and a listening sheet to record their observations and opinions for a class discussion at the end of the activity. The links are all checked and are valid as of 28th October 2020. There is also a teacher handout with full instructions as to how to run the lessons, including questions to ask the students, and prompts to remind them of certain things. The great thing about this resource is it is also absolutely perfect for a supply or substitute teacher who has no specialist musical knowledge at all. The teacher handout even has a box at the bottom to give you feedback or concerns from the lesson(s), so you can follow up, just in case you have set it as cover. Everything has been thought of, and it is beautifully presented in an engaging and structured manner. I really hope that you will enjoy my resources and find them useful. I pride myself on the quality of my resources and on the quality of my customer service. Please send any enquiries either before or after purchase to rainynightmusic@hotmail.com and I will be more than happy to help you in any way that I can.

This structured resource pack is a great introduction to analysing music and is perfect for young students between Year 2 and 5 who are beginning their learning journey in Music, or for older students at secondary level with lower ability. It is also ideal for cover lessons, home-schooling, and – of course – for a great Friday afternoon class activity! Furthermore, it works really well as a ‘composer of the week’ activity – each Set in this Series includes at least one Baroque, Classical, Romantic, and Modern composer, and no composer appears in any other Set in the Series. Five whole 1-hour lessons are included in the pack with fun, themed colouring worksheets for the students, a 25-slide detailed PowerPoint with up-to-date YouTube links, and full teaching guidance so that you will feel completely supported whether you are a music specialist, or not. This is Set 2 in my Primary Music Listening Activities Series. Full Details: Students use their knowledge of colours to help them understand musical features relating to the musical elements. There are 5 themed lessons, each with its own colouring-in worksheet: The Desert Island; Ramble in the Jungle; The Garden at Night; Down by the River; Lost in Time. A specific piece of famous classical music is the focus of each lesson, and the music has some kind of link to the theme. For instance: Lost in Time is based on the 2nd Movement of Haydn’s ‘Clock’ Symphony; Handel’s 3rd Water Music Suite is the one for Down by the River. Each student worksheet has 8 pairs of numbered statements. Two or three of the eight are opinion-based (such as ‘I like/ do not like this music’). The other 5 or 6 are related to musical elements and specific features of the piece of music used for the lesson. For example: The music is fast/ slow. Each statement has a colour pattern to use, and where statements are a little more complex (such as ‘I can hear only woodwind instruments’ or ‘I can hear woodwind and brass instruments’) they can link their knowledge of colour to reach the right answer. For instance: a child of 5 to 9 years old may not be able to distinguish between woodwind and brass instruments, but they will know that an alligator should not be orange and purple! So, to colour an alligator orange and purple is wrong; it should be Green, which is the colour pattern linked to the correct musical statement. As they colour and listen to the music (which they should always be encouraged to do) they will learn to recognise this sound. I take great care to ensure my resources are of the highest quality – both in content and in presentation – and I wholeheartedly recommend them to both you and your students.

There are 5 themed lessons, each with its own colouring-in worksheet: Above the Treetops; At the Zoo; Braving the Dunes; Little Night-Crawlers; On Thin Ice. A specific piece of famous classical music is the focus of each lesson, and the music has some kind of link to the theme. For instance: On Thin Ice is based on the 2nd Movement of Tchaikovsky’s ‘Winter Dreams’ Symphony No. 1; Saint-Saens’ Carnival of the Animals is the one for At the Zoo. Each student worksheet has 8 pairs of numbered statements. Two or three of the eight are opinion-based (such as ‘I like/ do not like this music’). The other 5 or 6 are related to musical elements and specific features of the piece of music used for the lesson. For example: The music is fast/ slow. Each statement has a colour pattern to use, and where statements are a little more complex (such as ‘I can hear only string instruments’ or ‘all instruments play all of the time’) they can link their knowledge of colour to reach the right answer. For instance: a child of 5 to 9 years old may not be able to distinguish between the sound of strings, as opposed to strings with woodwind instruments, but they will know that a Penguin should not be red and blue! So, to colour a penguin red and blue is wrong; it should be black and white, which is the colour pattern linked to the correct musical statement. As they colour and listen to the music (which they should always be encouraged to do) they will learn to recognise this sound.

Ideal for cover, primary outreach, or distance learning, this structured resource pack is a great introduction to analysing music, and is perfect for young students between Years 2 and 5 who are beginning their learning journey in Music, or for older students with lower ability. It’s also great for a regular Friday afternoon class activity, working really well as a Composer of the Week resource. Five whole 1-hour lessons are included in the pack with fun, themed colouring worksheets for the students, a 25-slide detailed PowerPoint with up-to-date YouTube links, and full teaching guidance so that you will feel completely supported whether you are a music specialist, or not. This is Set 4 in my Primary Music Listening Activities Series, and this set focuses on special occasions. Full Details: Students use their knowledge of colours to interpret musical features relating to the musical elements. There are 5 themed lessons, each with its own colouring-in worksheet: The Witch’s Cave; In the Grotto; The Forbidden City; Rainbow’s End; Easter Egg Valley. A specific piece of relevant classical or world music is the focus of each lesson: e.g: the Christmas-themed ‘In the Grotto’ is based on Elgar’s A Christmas Greeting; Whelan’s Lament of Cú Chullain from Riverdance is the focus for the St. Patrick’s Day-themed ‘Rainbow’s End’. Halloween, Chinese New Year, and Easter are the other special occasions in this resource pack. Each worksheet has 8 pairs of numbered statements, 2 or 3 of which are opinion-based, and the others are related to specific features of the piece of music used for the lesson. Each statement has a colour pattern, and where statements are a little more complex students can use their knowledge of colour to find the right answer. For instance: young musicians may not be able to distinguish between flutes and clarinets, but they will know a Tiger is orange and black, not blue and purple! So, the correct colour pattern matches the correct musical statement, allowing students to listen to the music whilst they colour-in, focusing on the sound of a flute, clarinet, or on whatever the musical statement is about; over time, they learn to recognise the sounds. This system allows young students to develop musical analysis skills by building on prior knowledge of colour, not to mention familiarisation with composers and music from the Western Classical Tradition, and even from world music composers in this set. Also, the opinion-based questions offer great opportunities for emotional and social development.

This is Set 5, and the final set, in my Primary Music Listening Activities Series, and this set focuses on female composers. Full Details: Students use their knowledge of colours to help them understand musical features relating to the musical elements. There are 5 themed lessons, each with its own colouring-in worksheet: On Loch Ness; Stuck ‘Outback’; The Souvenir Shop; Treasure Hunt; Around the Campfire. A specific piece of classical music is the focus of each lesson, and the music has a link to the theme. For instance: ‘On Loch Ness’ is based on the 2nd movement of Amy Beach’s Gaelic Symphony; Fanny Hensel’s Nocturne in G Minor is the focus for ‘Around the Campfire’. Louise Farrenc, Clara Schumann, and Barbara Strozzi are the other female composers featured in this resource pack. Each worksheet has 8 pairs of numbered statements, 2 or 3 of which are opinion-based, and the others are related to specific features of the piece of music used for the lesson. Each statement has a colour pattern, and where statements are a little more complex students can use their knowledge of colour to find the right answer. For instance: young musicians may not be able to distinguish between flutes and clarinets, but they will know a Koala should not be blue and red!

This system allows young students to develop musical analysis skills by building on prior knowledge of colour, not to mention familiarisation with female composers of the Western Classical Tradition, who are often unfairly ignored.

This is a set work on the new AQA AS and A Level Specification, and the only full concerto required for the AS Level specification. This is a great resource for both teachers and students. With the later versions of these scores, you can isolate individual parts to hear things more clearly, and use the chord analysis and ‘find motive’ functions - and much, much more. Earlier Sibelius versions from (and including) Sibelius 4 are included in this download - as is the latest 7.5 version and all Student and First versions of the score (5,6, and 7). Also included in the pack is a high-quality soundcard MP3 extraction of the full score for you to use in the classroom.

This is the first movement from one of the three concertos listed on the new AQA A Level Syllabus (for first teaching from September 2016), and the only movement from this work that is required for AS Level. This resource pack comprises: a full Sibelius score of the first movement from BWV 1041 Concerto in A Minor for Sibelius 4, 5, 6, 7, and 7.5, including student versions - all versions included in download; a 3-page student worksheet designed to allow students to gain vital analysis skills; a 3-page detailed answer sheet, which constitutes a thorough analysis of everything that a student needs to know for the exam; an MP3 audio of the Sibelius score from a high quality sound-card recording. If you are a teacher, this resource pack will save you literally hours of planning; if you are a student, this will inform you about everything you need to know about this piece for the exam. Great value, and the same hallmark of quality that you come to expect from the Rainy Night Music brand.

Chinese Music is a real winner in the classroom - Pentatonic Scales are hugely accessible on keyboard instruments, xylophones and glockenspiels, alike. This project has TOTAL support for teaching and learning. You get a worksheet with 8 tasks on (some short, some in depth, some listening, some composing, some performing AND composing), all with full answers on a PowerPoint presentation making self-marking really easy. Students will be introduced to 4 instruments of the Chinese orchestra, the characteristics of Chinese Melodic writing, including the Pentatonic Scale. They will be taught how to create their own pentatonic scale and how to turn this knowledge into a successful Chinese Music Composition, which has a full checklist of success criteria. Again, the success criteria makes it easy for students to peer assess and for you to quality assure later. For your convenience, a teacher guide is included, detailing a slide-by-slide path through the lesson, linking slides to tasks, etc. Beautifully presented resources - great fun, and lots of learning! This project is perfect for Chinese New Year! I really hope that you will enjoy my resources and find them useful. I pride myself on the quality of the resources that I publish, and I welcome feedback and enquiries from all of my colleague-customers across the world.
