This A3 Worksheet is a great resource when you need to set cover for a music lesson but don’t have a non specialist to teach it.
For this task students must create the branding for a new band called ‘Hazard’. This involves designing a logo for the band, an album cover, a picture vinyl and even a tour van!
This could also be used as a great KS3 Graphics cover lesson.
Print in A3
These cover worksheets are ideal for staff absences! All 8 require no prep, little/no technology, and are suitable for non-specialist teachers.
The worksheets have been designed with convenience in mind! Print and copy a class set of each and keep them handy with the overview sheets. Pupils answer on paper to save copying new sheets each time!
The overview sheets allows you or your substitute to see at-a-glance what classes have completed what sheets, and what tech/pupil knowledge is required for each so they can choose an activity suitable for them and the class.
Each worksheet should last a lesson, and there are suggestions of extension activities for fast finishers. They are suitable for a range of ages and abilities as I have used lots of open and general questions. The sheets are dyslexia-friendly with careful choice of layout and fonts. Pupils can work independently with no assistance from the teacher, perfect for non-specialists.
The worksheets cover a range of topics. Each has an icon in the corner to help you sort them quickly if they get mixed up. The range included means these can be used for General Music, Choir, Orchestra or a range of other music classes. They are aimed at years 7-9 /S1-3 BGE but are general enough to be used with older or younger classes too.
This set of sub sheets includes:
A Year of Music
A-Z Questions
Composer Profile
Film Music Moment
Plan a Jukebox Musical
Plan a Music Festival
Song Research Task
Stop the Bus
I really hope you find this product useful! I have used these successfully with my classes for years and they are so convenient for when I am absent or leaving classes to cover due to exams, concerts, shows and trips.
I recommend pairing this resource with my set of 16 music wordsearches!

EIGHT PRACTICE DICTATION QUESTIONS
These dictation tests were written to provide authentic examples of the 5-mark dictation questions found in Eduqas GCSE Music exams.
They cover the four Areas of Study, with a focus on the focus areas announced on 7th February 2022:
Romantic Music
Vocal Ensembles
Film Music
Popular music
The questions come in groups of four, one for each of the categories above, and each group of four features music by musicians whose names begin with the same letter. In this pack, the musicians’ names begin with the letters A and B.
The main feature of all these shorter questions is dictation, to help students practice this type of exam question, worth five marks.
I have added a few additional shorter questions, totalling three additional marks, so that every question is worth eight marks, rather than the 12 in the actual exam.
As these are shorter questions, to focus on dictation, the extracts are shorter (generally 20–25 seconds long), and there is less time after the question for students to complete their answers.
Each listening test is approx. 5’30"-6’00" long.
This pack contains one document with questions and answers, and separate documents for just the questions (incl. YouTube links), and just the answers, in case teachers want to set the exercises as homework.
The document comes complete with:
YouTube links with exact timings for all musical examples
Full mark scheme
Perfect for printing on double-sided A3 sheets.

This presentation shows two lessons I have developed to introduce Year 9 to rock music using Green Day's Boulevard of Broken Dreams. It's designed as a small part of a larger topic on popular music but could be extended to give students more time to prepare. It features three differentiated challenges for students to select with different key questions. The final two slides I copy onto A5 cards to support students who want to perform the chords on guitar.
This works well with all the many performing resources for Boulevard of Broken Dreams that are already out there!
