Paul Simon Graceland AQA GCSE Music 2020
Introducing students to the album “Graceland” by Paul Simon. The 50 page PowerPoint gives both a general overview of the artist and albums relevance as well as more detailed breakdowns of the three study pieces. “You can call me Al” “Graceland” and “Diamonds on the soles of her shoes” embedded resources that include some sing along tracks, chord charts, videos and audio examples help to keep students engaged. This pack could also be used as a knowledge consolidation resource to help students revise key points from the pieces. A great jumping off point to begin teaching these fantastic pieces. Hoping this saves you all some time in planning for the new study pieces and takes the pressure off a little so you can just get teaching.
