This is a PowerPoint I have devised for my first lesson with year 10s in September 2009. It explains the different components of the course with deadlines I have set my students for coursework. Feel free to doctor it. Hope it's useful!

This is a PowerPoint presentation I have done for my year 11 GCSE Music group. Note: this is for the current syllabus (2010 exam) but can be used for the new Edexcel syllabus as well. mp3s and videos can be downloaded from sites such as YouTube.

This is a two lesson activity to learn the classic Reggae song 'Pass the Dutchie'. Students learn to play C & Dm chords on keyboards é Ukelele before putting it together with different melodic riffs. Please leave feedback.

These word documents can be used as displays for the new Edexcel GCSE Music syllabus (2009+). They describe each section of the course (performance, composition & listening exam) as well as the four areas of study.

I did this as I was teaching Performing Arts for the first time and wanted to give students information. I have done it from a Music point of view as we are teaching it as an alternative to GCSE Music.

This is a PowerPoint presentation I have done for my GCSE Music group studying AOS4 Fusions (Edexcel). mp3s available via sites like YouTube.

This is a PowerPoint used as part of my lessons on Fusions for AOS4 (Edexcel GCSE). There are no mp3s attached but can be found in the Heinemann Student Book CDs.

I have written this scheme to introduce musical theatre as a way into GCSE Performing Arts. Our school teach performing arts through music so the scheme is based on groups performing a musical song of their own choice. Please comment with any feedback.
