Sonority – Instrument Recognition Questions The GCSE Music Specification includes many terms that students need to know, and be able to identify, but which aren’t covered by many of the styles of music studied. Using only music from Popular Music, this revision resource brings together every instrument, voice and ensemble (apart from “basso continuo”, for obvious reasons!) from the sub-menu “Sonority”, ie instruments, voices, and ensembles. In order to be accessible to students who really struggle with such things, there are 50 simple, 1-mark questions, which ask students to identify an instrument, voice type, or ensemble. In addition, there is also a bonus question alongside every simple question, for students who find such things easier – so 100 questions in total! So that the first group of students don’t feel like they’re underachieving, there are two different PDFs: one with just the 50 simple questions, and one with the bonus questions as well, so teachers can choose which to give their students. The questions are in ten sections: Strings Woodwind Brass Percussion Keyboards Rock and Pop Indian Voices Miscellaneous Ensembles The resource comes with a link to FREE audio, running for 1h15’, either as one file or ten separate files: perfect for a revision lesson, or as homework. The extracts cover a wide range of Popular Music, and features music by the likes of Eva Cassidy, Led Zeppelin, Björk, Yes, Primus, Tanita Tikaram, The Meters, Minnie Riperton, Tom Waits, Genesis, Jamiroquai, Badly Drawn Boy, Freak Power, Blood, Sweat & Tears, and The Cure! The bundle includes the full paper and mark scheme, plus two PDFs of questions (50, or 100), and mark scheme separately, in case you want to set it remotely.

This a 5 lesson scheme of work to teach students about the instruments of the orchestra. This scheme can be used for KS2, KS3 or KS4. The aims of the scheme are: - To understand that the instruments are classified into 4 different families - To be able to identify the different instruments found in the orchestra - To understand how instruments produce, manipulate and amplify sound - To design and make their own musical instruments - To compose a piece of music using their own instruments - To complete a written assessment which also includes listening questions This resource includes the Scheme of work, detailed PowerPoints including pictures and audio to teach all the instruments, a homework task to produce an instrument and a final topic assessment (audio also included). This resource includes opportunity for both teacher and self-assessment.

The booklet and other resources are the basis for a scheme of work on the Instruments of the Orchestra. This is aimed at year 7 pupils, but can be catered to work with other year groups.

This resource is intended to be used as flexibly as possible by teachers and their students. It may be used as a stand-alone piece for performance, as a warm-up to a music or singing lesson or as a unit of work. Instrumentation The notation is for voices and any instruments. Any instruments which use the treble clef including tuned percussion may be used. Choose percussion instruments that evoke the atmosphere of the season of autumn. Crotchet and minim rests are included as I believe that students should learn the value of rests from the beginning and if so wished untuned percussion could be played during the rests to create different effects. ‘Autumn’ is intended to be the first of a series of short compositions for each season. Each increases in difficulty. ‘Spring’ and ‘Summer’ are already available. ‘Summer’ is the most difficult (which explores indeterminacy). ‘Autumn’ uses a repeating descending scale from ‘A to D’ against a repeating triad ‘C, E, G’. Using glockenspiels and xylophones will make it easily accessible. **Aims ** This quartet meet the aims and develop the skills set out in the National Curriculum for Music for Key Stages 2 and 3. (2013) and ABRSM music medals. This unit of work also supports ‘A national Plan for Music Education’ (2022, pp.15 -34). The set includes Teacher Notes; Full score in 4 parts for voices and instruments; Creative planning grid for Key Stage 2 with ideas for lessons and activities.

Harry Potter - Instruments of the Orchestra - differentiated keyboard parts. PDF documents of the music. Video tutorials to accompany the parts are located here: https://youtu.be/NRZ_TX1EUOQ A whole class keyboard ensemble performance of Harry Potter. Students choose which ‘house’ they want to be in, and then learn their parts in advance ‘flipped learning’. This means that we have time in the scheme to learn about the ‘instruments of the orchestra’ and put together our own class performance. Time spent doing practical work in this project is more about playing as an ensemble, rather than learning individual parts. Therefore, students learn as much as possible at home, even if it’s on a virtual keyboard. For the students unwilling to invest the time, they mainly play the ‘Slytherin’ part as it’s the easiest to learn quickly. The performance always starts off with two students on celeste sounds, one playing ‘Gryffindor’ and one playing ‘Ravenclaw’ as a duet. The rest of the class then start to play, with ‘Slytherin’ forming the string section. Other keyboards are on a variety of other orchestral sounds, and sections will take their turn to play the clarinet part or the flute part etc on ‘Gryffindor’, whilst the rest of the class continue their parts. You may notice that ‘Hufflepuff’ does not feature in these videos. The ‘Hufflepuff’ part is the percussion section of the orchestra. We use the percussion to help keep the time. The teacher conducts and the percussionists watch the conductor. The way my classroom is laid out the keyboards face the wall, which makes it tricky for ensemble performance, so a simple bass drum on every beat one and a triangle on beats two and three helps to keep everyone together. This is always by far the students favourite project.

Musical Instruments - Card Matching Activity Activity and/or starter activity READY TO PRINT - Using this resource, pupils match the cards of the instrument pictures with the cards of the instrument names. Please find the included a PDF version of the resource and a Word document version (if you wanted to edit). Thank you.

A standalone worksheet that can be used for a cover lesson, even when delivered by a non-specialist. Aimed at KS3, Year 7. No additional resources required - just print and go. This high-quality worksheet is just the thing when you’re out of the classroom and don’t know who is going to be covering you. It contains all in the information that students need to answer the questions, with space to write on the worksheet. The resource is four pages long, providing plenty of activities to fill a lesson, but is large enough to be printed two sheets to a page and double sided so that each student only needs one sheet of paper. You don’t need to worry about finding additional bits of paper or other resources. There is room to answer questions on the sheet and students only need a pen! I wanted to make the resource as flexible as possible so that I can keep a class set printed and if there is an emergency I can just throw it on the desk and still know that my class has meaningful work to complete.
