As a teacher of older students, they got bored of cutesy coloring sheets and babyish music literacy work and I was frustrated with a lack of theory resources which moved beyond the basics of treble clef notes and note values. I wanted to design a full curriculum which recalled previous knowledge, introduced new topics clearly with written tasks, and allowed students to move gradually onto more advanced ideas such as chord inversions, circle of fifths and transposing. No more patching together worksheets from multiple sources or writing everything on the whiteboard each lesson; this curriculum has allowed me to print the workbooks and teach from the screen and integrate theory more meaningfully into my Music lessons.
Other “bundles” of worksheets exist; what sets this curriculum apart is its progressive nature, with each lesson building on what has already been done. For example, once bass clef or a new key signature/time signature/Italian term has been introduced, it features frequently in the following exercises. This recall means concepts are firmly established rather than doing a stand-alone lesson or worksheet and never revisiting.
See the previews for a full list of topics covered, but this curriculum includes:
Treble and bass staff notes, including leger lines
Note and rest values, including dotted notes and triplets
Time signatures, including simple, compound and irregular
Italian terms, performance directions, tempo, signs and symbols
Triads, chords and cadences
Easy printing - black & white/grayscale and A4 or letter size
US and UK versions included (eighth notes/quavers, staff/stave)
Units 1-3 cover approximately:
AB grade 1 theory
Trinity grade 1 theory
LCM grade 1 theory
RCM Canada grade 1-2
AMEB Australia grade 1
Scottish SQA National 5
England/Wales pre-GCSE (year 8-9)
Units 4-6 cover approximately:
AB grade 2 theory
Trinity grade 2 theory
LCM grade 2 theory

A fabulous activity to get the learners developing their knowledge on spyware. Learners need to know how to research as part of any ICT course.
