ZIP File includes - complete SOW, Lessons, Worksheets, HW, Assessment material, Extension activities, scores, indesign files This unit aims to continue building students understanding of FILM MUSIC. However, this looks at the other technical elements of sound, focusing on Foley, SFX, Synthesis etc. Students will recreate the sounds to accompany a horror clip and will learn about how to be creative with the DAW to further support and enhance the mood of the clip. This is a warm-up to the NCFE Music Technology Unit 4 - Sound Creation. The ZIP Document is quite a large file so if there are any issues downloading please leave a message for me in the review section.

Full SOW, PowerPoints, Worksheets, assessment material, paperwork for extracurricular trip to TATE BRITAIN and HW activities. This is a cross-curricular SOW that looks at promoting students to consider links between the two art subjects. They will improvise/compose music to try and convey the meaning/atmosphere of various artwork. The aim is for students to consider artists intent and then their ability to try and manipulate the elements to create a composition to support it. It’s nice to try and organise a visit to the TATE BRITAIN during week 3 of the scheme and from this students select a painting and compose to this. The final assessment is a performance much like Mussorgsky’s ‘Pictures at an Exhibition’ with the entire class performing as if the listener was walking through an exhibition of their chosen artwork. I’ve attached a screenshot of the ZIP file contents for you see what comes with it.

A PowerPoint lesson for KEY in Music

To help out a little, here is a free practical Music Tech SOW for Bandlab which can be set as home learning. I’m currently running this with my KS3 students. It’s aim is to give them a solid foundation of Music Technology - beginning with simple data entry all the way up to creating a mix. I’ve created tutorial videos for every aspect they need to get through in order to complete the track and these are designed for my students so apologies if I reference specifics to our school! Students find this helpful as they progress at their own pace and can pause/rewind things they aren’t entirely sure of. This takes about 6-8 lessons (1 Hr long). In this resource you will get - Supporting videos that talk through each activity that students can use whilst they complete the work. These are exceptionally useful and I have found that lower ability students really respond well to these, although they sometimes prefer I run the session live with them.
