This is a powerpoint document with 62 slides that show how a MAJOR scale is built. There is a demonstration of C Major showing the tones and semi tones with two further activities building G major and finally D Major. Scales are built up step by step showing clearly on the keyboard diagram and reinforcing the tone and semitone steps. This is intended to be simple and straightforward as an introduction to major scales. I have used this for both Key Stage 3 and 4.

This is a 49 slide powerpoint made in the latest version. It works through the construction of all THREE minor scales. Looking initially at C Major - then finding its relative minor. The scale of "a" natural minor is constructed with clear referencing to its C major origin. The scale of " a" harmonic minor is constructed with clear referencing. The scale of "a" melodic minor (ascending and descending) is constructed with clear referencing. All tones and semitones are shown. Full, clear piano keyboard included with notes highlighted as they are added to the scales. Speaker image included plays all shown scales for reference. This presentation is designed to support the understanding of all THREE minors and quick ways to reference them. Final slides have all scales for reference including info on each minor scale.

This is a substantial powerpoint with fully embedded sounds. There are 23 slides covering basic and extended chords on C. Each slide shows a clear two octave piano keyboard - showing all note names.

The following chords are included: C major triad C Sus 2 C Sus 4 C5 C6 C7 C9 C flat9 C add 9 C11 C13 C major 7 C minor C minor 6 C minor 7 C minor maj 7th C minor 9 C diminished triad C diminished 7th C minor 7 flat 5 / half diminished C augmented triad This is not designed to be presented in all one session but rather a reference point. It very clearly shows the notes in the chord and you can choose to hear how they sound. All chords have been embedded. This is uploaded as powerpoint and you can easily arrange the slides in an order that is appropriate for your learners - leaving extended chords towards the end perhaps.

This is an extremely useful PowerPoint document that I have used with both KS3 and 4 for a range of activities. Starters, notation / aural recognition.
