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!

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!

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.

This is the whole scheme of work for area study two. There are seperate folders for Musicals, Jazz, and Chamber Music, all of which contain their own set of powerpoints, along with accompanying worksheets, sheets for performance music, composition ideas, and knowledge organisers and booklets. On top of this, there are also resources for musical devices as well as consolidation homework tasks. There are no official lesson plans, but all powerpoints are clearly laid out and include transitions for answers when required. Having no lesson structure was an intentional move because I found different classes took each topic at different paces, so simply having labelled powerpoint allows you to cover a topic effectively without the pressure of ‘having to move to the next lesson’; this also allows for freedom in doing compositional and performance tasks. These resources have been created as a continuation to my AoS1 resources and will build on the terminology/theory covered in it. All powerpoints are also done with a cream/yellow background so to more accessible to those with dyslexia or sight impairments.

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!

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!

This set of resources developed by ‘British Dyslexia Association’, can offer support to teachers working with children with dyslexia.
