Powerpoint that can be used to introduce students to the Classical Period in Music. This resource describes the historical context of this era, as well as musical features, genres, forms and major composers with listening links.

A useful start for Year 8 (and even Year 7) pupils into Classical music. The task is a comprehension with the document - students answer questions based on picking out information from within the comprehension. Pupils then summarise information from the questions to come up with 5 most important points about the Classical era. This is a document I'd re-worded from Wikipedia, adding and omitting bits where I saw fit. There are all kinds of things that can be added on such as more about instrument inventions, more composers, pieces of music etc. Any feedback would be great, thanks!

Classical 100 is built around 100 recordings of classical music pieces which teachers can draw upon in lessons, school assemblies and other school activities. Alongside a recording of each of the works taken from Decca’s world-renowned catalogue, there is information about the composer and the story behind the music. ABRSM will also draw on its network of primary school experts to create and publish a range of downloadable materials on the resource throughout the academic year, thereby helping teachers to bring the music to life in the classroom. Classical 100 was developed by industry experts with a wealth of primary teaching knowledge and professional experience compiling syllabuses and other education materials and has been rigorously tested by a broad community of teachers, music services, and educational musical experts. Nick Gibb said: “My concern has been that those children who don’t come from families who listen to music at home may not have that experience of listening to Beethoven or Bach. “Children hear lots of pop music and so on and many of those pieces of music are ephemeral. They’re here today but they may not be around in ten or 20 years’ time. These 100 pieces have proven the test of time. They are classics that will outlast us all and I think it is important that children are given the opportunity to hear those pieces as well as all the popular pieces they hear in their day-to day lives.” Join and log in here: https://login.classical100.org/login/
