GCSE Music - Year 10 - Musical Elements

£10.00
(5)
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!

DR SMITH Elements of Music Posters

£5.99
(1)
This series of nine posters about the Elements of Music is based around the popular acronym DR SMITH. The posters can be used around your department or classroom and are designed to help embed GCSE and A Level tier musical language throughout the wider school. The posters are suitable for display in either Secondary or Primary schools. These could also be used as knowledge organizers or reference sheets for Key Stage 3 and GCSE courses. DR SMITH stands for Dynamics, Rhythm, Structure, Melody (and Metre), Instrumentation, Texture (and Tonality, Timbre and Tempo) and Harmony. Other variations on the acronym have been used but I find these to cover the most important aspects of musical knowledge in the simplest way. Each poster is colour-coded to fit with the acronym DR SMITH. This same colour scheme can be used further up the school in GCSE and A Level analysis.

Do you need a basic Music Theory course that is not babyish? Are you looking for a theory course which will teach or revise the basics in an engaging but age-appropriate way? THIS is why I created this course! Full curriculum of 6 units now available - workbooks, slideshows and quizzes! This is Book 1 in the series of 6. The workbook introduces the basics of music theory, which you might want to use as revision for your classes, or to start from the beginning with older learners with no prior music experience. Topics included in Book 1 are: The Treble Clef Treble Stave Notes Practising Treble Stave Notes Note Values Rest Values Dotted Notes Stems and Tails Ascending, Descending, Step and Leap Leger Lines Bars and Bar Lines The workbook also contains space for students to make notes, and a self-reflection task for them to evaluate their progress. 2 versions of the booklet are included, one with USA terms (staff, whole note, measure etc) and one with UK terms (stave, semibreve, bar etc). See the product preview for more detail. The printable workbook is in PDF format and is 14 pages long. There is one page for each of the ten topics, each with clear explanations and two written tasks for pupils. This booklet is versatile and can be used in class, as homework, with whole classes or even by individual piano teachers or instrumental teachers on a one-to-one basis. It is designed to be worked through in order, spending a little time each lesson on theory, over 10 weeks in total. I have used this booklet for years with my own students, usually from age 8-12, but the clear layout makes it suitable for any age. I have also used it with adult beginner piano pupils, who did not want to work from materials aimed at children. Please let me know how you use it!

Stunning Value! A bumper pack of 14 worksheets (or funsheets) for useful coverwork, homework or revision suitable for KS3 (yrs 7-9), or for checking basic knowledge at the start of a GCSE music course, for those with less musical background. What Does It Do? This resource tests the basics in an informal way and extends and explores knowledge of each of the elements, giving opportunities for students to apply their knowledge in creative ways - great preparation for a variety of composing, performing or listening tasks. ALTERNATIVELY, use this resource with the associated set of Elements Of Music Factsheets to create a totally self-supporting set of 14/28 activities, where no prior knowledge is needed to complete each task (great for cover work where no specialist teacher is available). What's In It? 2 worksheets on each of the Elements - pitch, tempo, timbre, duration, dynamics and texture, plus 2 bonus sheets on The Elements. 14 worksheets in all, as well as teacher notes and suggestions for use. Each worksheet ends with a more open-ended task which ensures that coverwork does not run out before the end of the lesson, but these tasks could also be set as a separate homework task - giving 28 short but meaningful KS3 homework tasks in total - enough for a whole academic year!

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!

They will love the friendly competition of trying to be the first to complete the mystery! The reading passages have been carefully written for around age 10-12 reading level. Each reading card focuses on one element (Melody, Harmony, Rhythm, Tempo, Time Signatures, Texture, Structure, Style, Timbre, Dynamics).

For teachers in Scotland, the elements match the SQA headings of Understanding Music/listening concepts.
