Extracts in variety of genres of homophonic, polyphonic, heterophonic, monophonic and imitative texture.

A presentation explaining the differences between the scales and how they can be used for composing melodies. Includes audio examples. Intended to be used prior to practical activity by students.

A powerpoint presentation with audio clips of a few of the leitmotifs featured in Wagner's Die Walkure. Links to other motif&'s included. Used to teach A level students about how the motifs are used. Took bloody ages to consolidate all of the info! So hope it saves other people some time. Feedback would be greatly appreciated if you do use it please. Always looking for ways to improve! Thank-you

Includes website links for listening to instruments. Dynamics. Texture. Techniques. Tempo.

Multiple use listening exercise - students listen and discuss the examples played, justifying their reasons why they think it's whichever emotion (face) they think it is. Intended to help students with underscoring film (all examples are film music ones) but I have also used this with year 7 to get them to talk about the elements.

As outlined in the title, this is just question 1a of the question paper from January 2010. INCLUDES AUDIO TRACKS (which the OCR website doesn't). Separated from the rest of the paper makes it easier for printing in a hurry I find. NB: the audio extract is from a different recording and so does not always match up to the timings given on the skeleton score.

A really popular song with my current year 8, so I made this worksheet in the style of some others I’ve seen on here from someone else. Idea is that they can just pick it up and have the basics of what they need to be able to perform it as part of the group. NB: I change one lyric from “boobies” to “smoothies” in case the kids say it’s wrong. lol.

A few worksheets students can complete to check their knowledge of all the Areas of Study pre-exams. Could be used for homework/cover. If you have pages then you can edit it otherwise use the PDF pages. Also included some radar charts that could be used by students to self-assess their knowledge in each AoS or by teachers to give feedback of student strengths.

Another worksheet designed for students to pick up and be able to put together a performance of the song with all the info they need. NB: Naughty word changed from “bastards” to “custards” ;-)
