Just sit down - be quiet and do the work while I get on with the next load of data!! Designed to do just this but actually has really really helped! Students enjoyed the puzzle layout and how they could, if higher ability finish the entire sheet. Covers and revises key concepts of notation. I could mark an entire class AND give feedback AND get them to respond within one lesson. Have also used some classes to peer assess with our schools stickers attached. Boom! Box ticked! With lower ability students I handed out 1 per group of 2 or three to bolster confidence and it worked a charm - then giving those students who played an instrument the “privilege” of acting as my deputy. PRINT ON A3 then fold in half.

Scaffolded questions to teach music dictation. Answer sheet also gives a rationale as to what to listen for when completing these exercises. Part 1 includes semibreve through to quavers with a selection of rests. My students are rock solid on this now and am so pleased I took the time to do these sheets. Part 2 includes semiquavers, 6/8 and triplets.

To promote embedded subject specific vocab in students written answers and verbal answers when listening to music. It also reinforces vocab and the meaning of the words raising confidence, literacy and ultimately grades in music! Boom!

Shows really clearly how a melody is put together and how you can write one with out being at a keyboard. This is part of the Composition bundle. Enjoy!

All 8 set works covered covering key terms, keys, cadences, techniques, dates and general music bits. Now the set works have been covered we are revising the content away from listening - making sure key facts are drilled in. The second exercise requires miming and acting just to add a bit of fun! Activity can be done in groups, written, verbal, whole class or homework. Enjoy! Includes answers to the questions to aid with revision. Have just tried the miming and acting questions with Year 11. Except for putting my back out miming a falling sequence it was a really fun lesson and a welcome break away from flash cards for an hour.

Lesson 1 in melodic dictation. Following on from Rhythmic Dictation. Starts with stepwise then 3rds, 4ths, 5ths and 6ths. Includes extra questions to ask whilst delivering to re-enforce theory aspects - notation, stems, beaming, dotted rhythms. Lesson is a good solid hours worth including marking the tasks. Extension activity included and “Next Level Prep” to do on Augmented and Diminished intervals.

Used as an Introit for Carol service. Just the first verse. Longer version for SSA coming!

Music Composition. Resource showing 17 options for every note. Makes sure compositions move away from I, IV, and V. Creates more exciting and interesting compositions. Includes dim / half-diminished, 7ths, 9ths. Massively helps with notation reading, transposition and listening skills.

A booklet looking at Foley and Sound effects in Films. Activities include identifying sounds in scripts, how sounds are made, role of foley artist, composing and manipulating audio. Students then write their own scene identifying where and what sounds will happen. More advanced students can build on this by adding music or even describing the mood of the music. There are spaces for them to work including: Lined jottings, blank spaces, manuscript paper and a storyboard. Due to isolation I have added a web links page for music and youtube films for information including Disney old school, Star Wars, Wall-E, Robin Hood, Brother bear. Also links to software free online for creating sounds and music.
