This resource comprises 10 worksheets designed to secure, revise, and test knowledge of Scales and Modes. Principally aimed at Year 10 and 11 GCSE students, each worksheet should take around 25 minutes to complete, and a full set of detailed, annotated answers are provided, making them perfect for a variety of uses – particularly distance learning and cover lessons led by teachers with limited specialist subject knowledge. They can also be used as tests in class, for homework tasks, or just general revision/ practice for working with unfamiliar short extracts of written music – and with 10 x 25-minute worksheets to tackle, there will be plenty for your students to do! This resource is also appropriate for bridging at A Level or as further practice for Grade 4-5 ABRSM Theory students in respect of the general exercises.

Specifically, each worksheet in this pack incorporates a short 8 to 16 bar piano composition, which is an original piece composed by myself – so there is a guarantee that your students will have never seen this music before! There are 20 questions on each piece, covering a wide variety of topics appropriate to the music. Topics include, but are not limited to: rhythmic, harmonic, and melodic devices; metre and tempo; cadence, chord, and interval recognition; foreign terms (up to approximately Grade 5 ABRSM Theory Level); structural features such as repeats and time bars… and there is so much more, too!
In total, there are 200 questions – all with comprehensive answers – and each worksheet gets progressively more challenging. Furthermore, since I have deliberately crafted each piece around a programmatic title, teachers can easily set a ‘master/ extension’ question for each piece (marking it at their own discretion), “How does the music relate to the title”? There will always be plenty for students to say, and it will allow those who are able to, to produce higher-level commentaries after answering the set questions. It’s a hidden gem within the resource, and it could add a further 15 – 20 minutes of mileage to every single worksheet.

I take great care to ensure my resources are of the highest quality – both in content and in presentation – and I wholeheartedly recommend them to both you and your students. I welcome feedback and enquiries from my colleague-customers all over the world, and I can be contacted directly at rainynightmusic@hotmail.com. I would be delighted to hear from you, and I thank you for considering this resource for your classroom.
