Bring something a little bit different to your music classroom for Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, or Chanukah, by studying and celebrating the wonderful traditional music of the Ashkenazi Jews – Klezmer. This is a fully-resourced project aimed at Years 9 to 10, but it would also work for higher-ability Year 8 classes. There are enough activities for more than 3 hours of fun-packed, exciting, quality learning.
This project deals first with characteristics of Klezmer Music, and then moves onto Klezmer instruments. Listening and written tasks are incorporated, here. Students are introduced to the Avaha Rabboh mode with opportunities to create their own. Students then meet Albert Einstein, one of the most famous Ashkenazi Jews, and learn all about his musical talents (he was a violinist!). Then, you have the option to deliver the linked PSHCE task studying Einstein’s lifelong commitment to nuclear disarmament. Students then learn a little about drum notation, before moving onto the main task, which is a 5-part Sher Dance, composed by myself: Poyk; Bass; Accordion/ Guitar; Fiddle; Clarinet (all of which can be performed on a keyboard with synthesised voices). Students are taken through each part, and then set to task on a group performance. Extension tasks offer the opportunity to include dreydlekh (Klezmer ornamentation) in the form of glitshn and krekhts, or to create their own exciting Klezmer drum beat using their newfound knowledge of drum notation. Finally, students assess themselves against the 10-point success criteria on the PowerPoint and complete an evaluation.

A bundle containing 18 tiered Music Bingo Games covering 6 broad musical themes: 3 x tiered Staff Notation games; 3 x tiered Signs and Symbols games; 3 x tiered Key Signatures games; 3 x tiered Chords games; 3 x tiered Intervals games; 3 x tiered Rhythm games.
Each Bingo Game has 15 different items – 270 musical items in total appear in this pack, spanning the 6 themes outlined above. Each theme has 3 tiered games, and each game has 12 unique playing cards, which can very realistically be doubled up for a class of 24 students.
Each of the 18 games has a master calling card containing either 2 or 3 tiered clues, allowing you to customise the level of challenge for your classes. You can also follow one of the pre-set calling patterns on the calling card to enable you to know which of the 12 cards should win, and when it should win – this also helps you to monitor how well students know the content, but in a fun, informal way.
Each unique playing card has a total of 9 of the 15 items from the calling card on it in a 3 x 3 grid, and the tiered clue system allows for flexibility in terms of the level of challenge that you pose to your students for each game. Nonetheless, Level 1 games are generally suitable for beginners in written music, Level 2 games for slightly more experienced musicians, and Level 3 games for more confident musicians.
In terms of specific age groups, you will find that you can use most of the 18 games for Key Stage 3, with only a few games more naturally appropriate to lower Key Stage 4 (Intervals). That being said, you will also find that you can use the tiered clue system to adapt most of the 18 games for Key Stage 4, too – so there is a lot of inherent flexibility!
Music Bingo is a fun, effective, and efficient way to learn or revise topics, and this bundle essentially offers you 6 sets for the price of 5. However, for your convenience, each of the 6 x 3-game sets in this bundle are available to buy individually, allowing you to focus on one theme if that better suits the needs of your students.
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.

Ideal for cover, primary outreach, or distance learning, this value-packed bundle is a great introduction to analysing music, and is perfect for 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 as a regular Friday afternoon class activity, serving as an engaging Composer of the Week resource.
TWENTY-FIVE whole 1-hour lessons are included in the pack with fun, themed colouring worksheets for the students, 5 x 25-slide detailed PowerPoints with up-to-date YouTube links, and 5 x full teacher guidance booklets so that you will feel completely supported whether you are a music specialist, or not. This bundle contains Sets 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 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 in each Set, each with its own colouring-in worksheet, and a specific piece of classical music with a link to the theme provides the focus for each lesson. Sets 1 to 3 focus on the most well-known works from the Western Classical Tradition; Set 4 focuses on special occasions; Set 5 focuses on female composers.
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 students may find it difficult to distinguish between woodwind and brass instruments, but they will know that a panda is black and white, rather than purple and green! So, the correct color pattern is linked to the correct musical statement, allowing students to listen to the music whilst they colour-in, focusing on the sound of whatever it is that the musical statements refer to; over time, they learn to recognise these sounds and musical features.
This system allows young students to develop musical analysis skills by building on prior knowledge of colour, not to mention familiarisation with a vast range of music and composers in the Western Classical Tradition. Also, the opinion-based questions offer great opportunities for emotional and social development.
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 the world over, and I can be contacted directly at rainynightmusic@hotmail.com.
