Year 9 Band Skills

A sequence of 7 lessons for year 9 music class on band skills.

This is a new and revised version of my SOL. It is ideal for the last scheme of work for a Year 9 class as it starts to prepare students for independent learning and research and ensemble performances for GCSE.

Each week there is new key terminology added to build a bank for evaluation performances successfully.

I have created a resource booklet with 4 songs which includes; lyrics, guitar chords, piano chords and ideas for Glockenspiel. There are also tips on how to make it unique and how to add a bassline etc.

You can add your own department assessment criteria for the level of difficulty you feel is appropriate.

There are some listening questions and also some activities where students can try and work out simple riffs by ear.

There are some extra chord and lyric sheets if you don’t want to use the ones in the resource booklet.
