Includes set pieces on Mission Impossible, Darth Vader theme and Skyfall. Questions include film music techniques such as dissonance, disjunct/conjunct melody and other musical devices, as well as extended writing opportunities to describe musical elements such as timbre, texture and dynamics in each piece.

End of term crafted test on Musical elements and Samba music. Musical examples are easily reachable and I have provided an answers page, and page with links and plenary wordsearch if you have extra time. Created test for a new school without any formal music curriculum strongly in place. A good initial start to exposing to music and testing essential knowledge. I have also attached Samba material with a good Blockbuster quiz, and supporting musical element revision listening task with class activity sheets and basic support sheet. I hope these are helpful!

I have created a straight forward listening and written assessment that I used for my year 7's at the end of the autumn term based on musical elements, listening skills and pitch and rhythm notation. Students are asked to circle, write and identify the correct description of certain parts of musical examples, as well as a section for extended writing. Students are also asked to identify musical instruments, how they are being played, before then identifying the correct pitches in the treble clef and rhythmic names and values with a little comprehension. I struggled to find something that would give me some good listening examples and clear lines of questioning so I thought to have a go at it myself. I hope some will be able to find it useful and tweak where necessary!

Secondary level musical elements and Instruments of the Orchestra related exam I created. Very accessible and easy to reach links. Attached resources also contain useful musical examples, vocabulary, features and key elements to guide you towards knowledge for exam.

A simple accompaniment to a great Brass instrument clip. Students need to complete the gaps using the vocabulary below by listening. Great to introduce/recap and support to improving listening and literacy. I have also attached a PPT I have used around the topic of Brass.
