1 page PDF handout with visuals showing basic musical forms (binary, ternary, rondo, theme & variations)

A powerpoint presentation aimed at Introducing Year 12 students to the development of Western Classical music. This could also be used with GCSE classes. Use alongside listening examples of your choice.

This sheet is to be used alongside the Aural Help sheet for Grades 5, 6, 7 and 8. It provides a useful chart showing the features of each style and period, as well as suggested composers, as is required in the aural part of an ABRSM music examination. It would also be useful for use in the music classroom, in particular those studying for GCSE, As Level and A Level music.

This is the whole scheme of work for area study one. Each form has its own powerpoint, along with accompanying worksheets, sheets for performance music, composition ideas, and knowledge organisers and worksheets. On top of this, there are also resources for musical devices as well as consolidation homework tasks, and an analysis of the current set work - Bach: Badinerie. There are no official lesson plans, but all powerpoint 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 form/device at different paces, so simply having labelled powerpoint allows you to cover a topic effectively without the pressure of ‘having to move to lesson 2’. All resources are also done with a cream/yellow background so to more accessible to those with dyslexia or sight impairments.

Harmony, Form and Structure 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. Many students struggle with recognising musical elements, especially cadences, chord inversions, and other elements of harmony, form and structure, so this resource comprises 17 short extracts of music, five of which have skeleton scores, as in the exam. Each extract has four questions attached, covering all the terms associated with Harmony, Form and Structure: HARMONY Primary chords Secondary chords Inversion Diatonic Tonic Subdominant Dominant (7th) Perfect cadence Imperfect cadence Plagal cadence Interrupted cadence Chord progression/chord sequence Harmonic rhythm Drone Pedal Dissonance Power chords FORM AND STRUCTURE Binary Ternary Rondo Minuet and Trio Repetition Contrast Theme and variations Strophic 32 bar song form/AABA 12 bar Blues Call and response Ostinato Bridge Break Loop Improvisation Verse Chorus Middle 8 Fill Introduction Outro Coda Riff Regular phrasing Irregular phrasing The extracts cover a wide range of music, featuring the likes of Joan Jett, Mahler, Primus, Jimmy Rushing, Mel Tormé, Carly Simon, Henry Mancini, Katrina & the Waves, and Blu Cantrell. The resource comes with a link to FREE audio, running for 38’20”. The bundle includes the full paper and mark scheme, plus the PDF question paper and mark scheme separately, in case you want to set it remotely.

This is the 3rd 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. The previous versions are still available This year I am asking a fee of £3, 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 is well worth it!

Full delivery instructions with suggested extension tasks are also included. There are 18 worksheets in this resource, divided up into 6 sets of 3 – one set for each of the 6 musical eras of the Western Classical Tradition. In each set, there are 2 x 250-word composer biographies with an attached reading and comprehension task, and a 25-statement True or False activity based on the composer biographies for each era. Each set conveniently makes up a complete 1-hour lesson.
