Student Booklet for all four tasks within this unit. Student checklist included.

This is a 53 page booklet designed specifically for my year 9 groups / students who have, or will be, opting for GCSE Music. It works through the basic preparation for music theory, notation and listening requirements with a range of activities which could be in-class, cover or set as homework. Activities include: Reading notation Building Major Scales Building Natural Minor Scales Identifying Intervals Listening Key Words I have been using this for the last 12 months with my year 9 groups who have gone on to keep this as a useful reference guide to support their GCSE. A really useful document that supports the move towards a GCSE Music course. Alternatively, this could be a really useful document to support theory building at the start of year 10!

This is a 34 slide Power Point presentation to support the learning of KEY SIGNATURES for GCSE Music courses. GCSE MUSIC courses required knowledge of up to FOUR sharps and FLATS - Major and Relative Minors. This power point presents quick ways to work out the keys of up to 4 sharps and flats both Major and Relative Minor. Slides include piano keyboard to show semitone counting to reinforce understanding. All slides with key signatures on are fully animated to reveal the thinking required and the answers.

This is a powerpoint document with 62 slides that show how a MAJOR scale is built. There is a demonstration of C Major showing the tones and semi tones with two further activities building G major and finally D Major. Scales are built up step by step showing clearly on the keyboard diagram and reinforcing the tone and semitone steps. This is intended to be simple and straightforward as an introduction to major scales. I have used this for both Key Stage 3 and 4.

Having searched endlessly for a selection of varied musical quotes, I decided to make my own. Hope you find them useful!!

A short set of questions so that you can get to know your new Year 7’s quickly. I use this alongside a baseline listening quiz activity. Basic, but really helpful to find out what else they have experience of!
