This resource only includes detailed PowerPoints. This is a six lesson scheme of work to teach students about the different instruments in an orchestra. It is targeted at KS2 or lower stage KS3. The aims of the scheme are: To study the four families of the orchestra. To recognise different instrumental timbres. To perform a piece of classical music on the keyboard. To complete an end of topic written appraisal assessment. Additional resources including an assessment worksheet, a scheme of work overview and homework can be purchased separately. This resource includes opportunity for the teacher and can easily be adapted for differentiation. Music is an integral part to the whole curriculum.

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.

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.
