Complete Unit with all resources on Reading Music and Keyboard Skills

Complete Unit of Work (12/13 weeks) on reading, clapping and writing basic rhythms, reading and writing notes in the treble clef, and then moving onto performing simple pieces on the keyboard (sheet music in booklet) and composing their own melody using the skills they have learned.

Includes 2 assessment tasks with marking criteria graded 1 - 9:

1. playing a 5-note melody on keyboards, with or without chords
2. composing their own melody following step-by-step instructions, with or without chords
   Ends with a task where they create their own worksheet to demonstrate their knowledge of the whole topic.

Despite being a practical topic, the use of the student booklet gives opportunities for written teacher feedback (although I tend to give verbal feedback and then ask children to note down what I have said) and clear evidence of progress for Senior Leadership!

Keywords covered:
Melody, accompaniment, dynamics, texture (mono-, homo- and polyphonic), chords

You will receive:
A Powerpoint with all tasks and activities. Any links to YouTube videos are in the ‘Notes’ section underneath the relevant slide;
All audio and video as standalone files in case of any compatibility issues;
A student workbook which matches exactly to the Powerpoint (page numbers for each task are provided on the slides) with sheet music.

Please note: I did NOT make ANY of the YouTube videos; they are ones I have found useful that are freely and publicly available. Please credit the links to them if redistributing this resource.

This resource is priced to reflect the years of planning and refinement that have gone into making it enjoyable to learn and easy-to-deliver, along with my permission to edit and redistribute as you wish.
