I have managed to recreate the popular card game with questions on the two set works (Badinerie - Blue and Africa- Red) alongside Elements of Music questions - Green and the other areas of study - Yellow. There are also the usual action cards from UNO like pick up 2, reverse play, miss a go, change the colour, pick up 4 and shuffle all cards! Instructions are on a separate sheet for you to print out and give to the group of kids or for you to just have handy and supervise with the answers! Hopefully a fun way to revise along with a bit of competition - which I find usually helps! You will need to print the pages ON BOTH SIDES and make sure they are FLIPPED ON THE SHORT EDGE otherwise they might not line up properly with the back!

No additional resources required. This is an excellent resource to introduce students to pop music. It can be used for a cover lesson or as part of a scheme of work. The worksheet contains a word search with key terms and also “test your knowledge” questions based on the text. Also a bit of colouring if they finish!

This is the 4th Year of the calendar and still at its simplest level the purpose of this calendar is to offer a wide-ranging selection of music: different styles, genres, origins, artists, historical periods and so on. As part of an interesting and robust music curriculum, children need to hear and experience music and musical styles and artists that they may not otherwise have the opportunity to hear. The idea was to create a calendar of a song a day. 190 school days… 190 songs. (+2 for those with different school schudeules) These songs could be used in whatever way the user thinks best – on entry to the classroom in the morning, as assembly music, as a calming session after breaktimes of lunchtimes, or as an introduction to a music lesson. This resource includes this year’s calendar ONLY. Full week-to-View Calendar YouTube Playlist of all songs This year I am asking a fee of £3.50, for a complete resource that will last you all year. I am proud of the product and feel that for the extensive hours spent creating it £3.50 is well worth it!

Double sided worksheet and teacher slides for a music cover lesson on the instruments of the orchestra. The lesson includes four activities: a reading task, an identification task, a timbre task and a creative task.

This is the perfect music lesson for a written music lesson or cover lesson with a non-specialist. Want to complete the set?

GCSE MUSIC – KEY MUSICAL ELEMENTS This 36-page PPT is a great way to kick off the GCSE course, providing an accessible introduction to (or refresher of!) key musical elements: Pulse Metre (including regular and irregular) Rhythm (including syncopation, off-beat rhythms, dotted rhythms and triplets) Chords (including triads and inversions) Melody-writing Basic arranging for ensemble It is expected that most students will have encountered many of these at Key Stage 3, and so whilst this PPT can act as an introduction with clear explanations, it can also act as a useful refresher, with the exercises very much aimed at Key Stage 4. Students will need access to keyboard or guitars, and notation software or manuscript paper. Update (19.09.24): I have added answers to the PPT, so that it could be used by a non-specialist teacher, or even set as cover / homework. Please have a look at my other GCSE Music resources. Thank you!

Eduqas GCSE Music Keyword Sort A calm and low-stakes revision activity, perfect for checking that students know which musical terms belong to each of the elements of music. Featuring all of the musical terms listed in Appendix C of the Eduqas GCSE Music specification, this revision activity requires students to organise the 240 keywords into the 12 elements of music. Having a secure knowledge of which musical terms can be used to describe each element of music is essential in achieving success in the Appraising exam. This is especially important when answering questions that require students to describe how a particular element of music is being used within an extract of music. Using coloured pens/pencils or highlighters, students allocate a different colour/pattern for each of the elements of music. Then, using this as a key, they match each of the keywords to the correct musical element. Some musical terms appear multiple times in the keyword table. Where this is the case, these keywords can be used to describe more than one element of music. This resource includes a ready-to-print, blank copy of the activity, an example of a completed keyword sort, and a version that already has a colour allocated for each of the elements of music.

All GCSE music specifications require students to have a comprehensive knowledge of a variety of different melodic devices, with many courses requiring students to be able to demonstrate this knowledge in both composition coursework and in the appraising exam. This pack of 8 worksheets introduces a wide range of these devices, and includes two short composition tasks that give students an opportunity to practice using these devices before beginning their composition coursework or while preparing for the exam. Each of the worksheets that introduce new keywords come in two variants: one that has the definitions already provided, giving a useful reference or revision sheet; and one that provides a blank space for the student to write a definition for themselves. Where appropriate, each keyword is accompanied by a short musical example. Here is a breakdown of each worksheet: – Worksheet 1.1: An introduction to a range of melodic devices with definitions provided; – Worksheet 1.2: An introduction to a range of melodic devices with space for students to research and write their own definition; – Worksheet 1.3: A follow-up composition task, using the melodic devices covered in Worksheets 1.1 and 1.2; – Worksheet 2.1: An introduction to a range of melodic devices with specific focus on devices that can be used in motivic development; – Worksheet 2.1: An introduction to a range of melodic devices with specific focus on devices that can be used in motivic development, with definitions provided; – Worksheet 2.2: An introduction to a range of melodic devices with specific focus on devices that can be used in motivic development, with space for students to research and write their own definition; – Worksheet 2.3: A follow-up composition task, using the melodic devices covered in Worksheets 2.1 and 2.2; – Worksheet 3.1: Introduction to a range of additional melodic keywords not previously covered, with definitions provided; – Worksheet 3.2: Introduction to a range of additional melodic keywords not previously covered, with space for students to research and write their own definition. Previews of the first page of each worksheet are available from the files list. Throughout the worksheets, the following keywords are covered: Conjunct, disjunct, scalic, triadic, passing note, broken chord, ornament, trill, acciaccatura, appoggiatura, sequence, augmentation, diminution, retrograde, glissando, melisma, blue notes, diatonic, chromatic, riff, ostinato, inversion, hook, articulation, improvisation, legato, staccato, and marcato. It is the responsibility of the teacher to check this coverage of keywords against the exam board specification, this worksheet pack does not intend to offer complete coverage for all specifications.

AoS 1: Musical Forms and Devices – PART 1 BINARY, TERNARY, RONDO - SIX LESSONS* This is a 50-page PPT, as an Intro to Baroque, Classical and Romantic Music, covering Binary, Ternary and Rondo form in detail. Instead of trying to work chronologically, which always ends up being skewed towards earlier music, there are seven examples taken from across the centuries, to explain Binary, Ternary and Rondo. Musical examples from Purcell, Handel, JS Bach, Mozart, Brahms, R. Schumann, and Tchaikovsky. There are also three COMPOSING TASKS to put students’ understanding into practice. The bundle ALSO includes Sibelius and XML files for three of the pieces, to allow classroom performance. There is a focus on the Eduqas Appendix C, to cover lots of the terms there, with the rest to be covered in Part 2, soon! There are three mini-tests throughout the course, each worth 12-marks, and split into three groups of four, of increasing difficulty, so something for everyone. The resource comes as a 50-page PowerPoint, and an accompanying 16-page student workbook (PDF). *It is estimated that the course will take approx. six lessons, but of course this depends on how long schools’ lessons are, the prior experience of the students, and other factors. Please look at my TES shop for other resources. Thank you.
