Edexcel GCSE Music: Year 10 Half Term 1 SoW - an introduction to Musical Elements and GCSE Genres

This resource is perfect for the first half term of GCSE Music, whether that be the beginning of Year 9, end of Year 9 or the beginning of Year 10 (depending on when your KS4 begins!)

Pupils will be taken on a journey from Baroque to 20th Century, exploring wider listening, crucial key terms, theoretical concepts, dictation, context and meaning along the way. This is the perfect introduction to GCSE Music for Edexcel, as all key terms learnt link to the GCSE set works.

This package includes a Scheme of Work on a word document, with lesson objectives, activities and homeworks, a full set of 10 PowerPoints with integrated clips (and memes!) to make the delivered information as engaging as possible. There is also a short initial theory test and a longer end of term assessment included, which is helpful for a data snapshot of where your pupils are at.

All files are editable, and there are 11-12 lessons’ worth of content there, which fits nicely into a half term (with composition and performance alongside).
