This resource pack includes 14 interactive fun quizzes based on language for learning and is suitable for ALL GCSE Music specs. In this download pack you get 14 x 30-Question interactive Quizzes: 7 x Gold Run quizzes (ideal for learning and consolidating) and 7 x Stirke Out! quizzes (ideal for revision and testing) - both of which work extremely well on an individual basis and whole-class basis. There are 7 topic areas covered: GCSE Music Terminology for Rhythm, Metre and Tempo GCSE Music Terminology for Harmony and Tonality GCSE Music Terminology for Melody and Texture GCSE Music Terminology for Timbre and Dynamics GCSE Music Terminology for Structure and Genre General Musical Knowledge A Level Music Foreign Terminology/ ABRSM Grade 5 PLUS you also get a Christmas version to do with your Tutor Group absolutely free until the end of term. So that’s 16 quizzes in total (8 Strike Out! and 8 Gold Run). For each question, there are 4 possible answers. In the Gold Run! each of the 30 questions are asked in turn and whilst any number of incorrect answers will sound a ‘buzzer’, the same question will stay on the screen until the correct answer is reached. Students need to answer all 30 questions to win. This is ideal as a whole class activity, that will last about 20 or 30 minutes. In the Strike Out! version of the quiz, the same 30 questions are grouped into 10 sets of 3, and an incorrect answer will trigger the 2nd question in the set, another incorrect answer will trigger the final question in the set, and if that question is answered incorrectly, that’s a Strike Out! and it’s somebody else’s turn to have a go (or the class starts again). This is a more exciting version (and competitive!). Both versions are great for revision - end of term/ half-term, or just for general revision of terminology/ language for learning. For your convenience, the download pack has both .pptx and .ppt versions of both quizzes so that you can access them in Open Office as well as ordinary Office applications. I hope that you enjoy these quizzes and that they provide lots of fun revision activities for you and your classes. I am grateful for your feedback at rainynightmusic@hotmail.com For other activities please take a look at this comprehensive revision bundle https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/gcse-music-revision-activities-bundle-12041321

This resource pack comprises 10 Crossword Puzzles based on general musical knowledge, and they are designed for Years 7 to 9, but can also be used as revision for GCSE/ BTEC music students. Each puzzle has 15 clues to solve and it is expected that students will take between 10 and 15 minutes to complete each one. As such, they work well on an individual basis as Starters, homework tasks, or revision, and can even be used in combination to fill up to 2 complete cover lessons. Each puzzle has 15 clues, and each clue falls into one of 15 areas: Composers; Countries; Techniques/ Technology; Chords/ Scales; Instruments; Structure/ Form; Genre/ Style; Keys; Tempos; Dynamics/ Articulation; Signs and Symbols; Broadway Musicals; History of Pop Music Singers and Groups; Elements and Eras; Music Theory ‘pot luck’. Since each puzzle contains one clue from each of these 15 areas, they are truly balanced and broad-ranging, making each one great for testing general musical knowledge – not to mention fun! A full set of answers are provided so that students can self-mark and correct – especially important if you use the activities for cover as you will not want to return to a pile of marking! Feel free to allow students to use the internet to research some of the more tricky clues – independent learning is always beneficial to students. 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.

This resource comprises 10 worksheets designed to secure, revise, and test knowledge of Intervals and Melody. Aimed at Key Stage 4 Students, each worksheet should take between 20 and 35 minutes to complete, making them perfect on an individual basis for homework tasks, tests, distance-learning, revision activities, and, collectively, as full cover lessons suitable for a supply teacher. If you use it for the latter, you needn’t worry about coming back to a huge pile of marking because full answers and a detailed teacher guide are also included in this resource pack, so students can mark and correct their own work, and teachers (or parents) with limited specialist subject knowledge can feel well supported. Specifically, the worksheets incorporate the following types of activity: identifying and creating major, minor, perfect, augmented, and diminished intervals (for both the bass and treble clef); identifying non-harmony notes such as passing, neighbour, escape, and anticipation notes (in the bass and treble clef); identifying ornament symbols and realisations; creating realisations of ornaments, including, turns, trills, acciaccaturas, appoggiaturas, mordents, and glissandos; identifying melodic shape, including scalic, conjunct, triadic, and disjunct shapes; identifying the scales used to create short melodies, including major, minor, pentatonic, blues, and whole tone scales, then labelling notes with their corresponding scale degrees; creating sequences and inversions to develop melodies. In total, there are 104 multi-part questions spread across 10 high-quality worksheets, which should keep students busy for over four hours. There is also a full teacher guide with suggestions for extension tasks, which will help you to maximise the learning. 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.

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.

This topic focuses on Articulation, which includes volume dynamics. Specific content is as follows: Piano/ Pianissimo/ Mezzo Piano; Forte/ Fortissimo/ Mezzo Forte; Pianoforte/ Fortepiano/ Diminuendo/ Crescendo; Accent/ Marcato/ Sforzando; Portato/ Staccato/ Staccatissimo; Legato/ Tenuto; Rim shot. Students are taken through the information with both an information sheet, and a step-by-step PowerPoint. 4 x written/ notation tasks develop students’ ability to recognise the symbols and abbreviations and to be able to use and interpret them on a score. 10 x listening questions conclude the lesson, in which students’ ability to determine appropriate volume dynamics and changes, and articulation changes can be developed. These listening activities will also develop students’ musical memories – a vital skill for the listening exam. By the end of the lesson students will have a secure knowledge of the topic, and you – the teacher – have more than enough activities to allocate a homework task should you wish to. All of this comes with a 30-slide animated and beautifully-presented PowerPoint, annotated with detailed teaching guidance notes, to make delivery of the topic smooth and efficient – plus a 4-page student information sheet, 4-page activity sheet, and 4-page detailed answer sheet. With regards to the listening questions, MP3s are provided (and they are always my own compositions), and you may well want to insert the audios into the slide rather than use media player. I take great pride in my resources, and the time and effort I put into them is immediately clear. I am confident that you will find this topic to be fully and comprehensively resourced in order to meet both your needs and the needs of your students… and it will save you (literally) hours of planning, too. I welcome any questions and feedback, and I can be contacted at rainynightmusic@hotmail.com. Thank you for considering my resources for your classroom.

This topic builds upon prior knowledge of modulation to related keys via a pivot chord within Cycle of 5ths Progressions. The specific focus of this topic is the Dominant 7th Chord, and it comprises a full study on how a V7 chord may be applied in a variety of situations. Students are first shown how to create a 7th chord on any degree of a major or minor scale, and the dominant 7th chord is highlighted as important. The first activity requires students to apply the V7 chord to create Perfect Cadences in a variety of keys up to 4 sharps and flats, which also serves as excellent revision of key signatures and scales. The second activity examines the V7 chord as a substitute for the Leading chord in a cycle of 5ths progression, requiring students to follow a Roman Numerals chord progression to craft modulations between adjacent minor keys on the Circle of Fifths – providing excellent revision of chord positions and triad creation. The third activity examines how a pivot chord need not be identical, but instead a ‘strong best fit’, requiring students to craft more complex modulations. The final activity is a listening one in which students’ ability to distinguish between modulations to the dominant and subdominant in both major and minor keys is tested. By the end of the topic your students will have arrived at the border of Advanced Level study in Harmony and Tonality, and it will have stretched your most able students to achieve the very highest grades in composition through outstanding modulations. All of this comes with a 26-slide animated and beautifully-presented PowerPoint, annotated with detailed teaching guidance notes, to make delivery of the lesson smooth and efficient – plus a 5-page student information sheet, 4-page activity sheet and 3-page detailed answers sheet. With regards to the listening questions, MP3s are provided (and they are always my own compositions), and you may well want to insert the audios into the slide rather than use media player. I really hope that you will enjoy my resources and find them useful. I pride myself on the quality of the resources that I publish, and I welcome feedback and enquiries from all of my colleague-customers across the world.

This resource pack comprises 10 Code Breaker Puzzles based on general musical knowledge of 10 different areas, and are designed for Key Stage 3 music students. With each puzzle expected to take students between 15 and 30 minutes to complete, they are ideal for individual homework tasks, or can be used in combination to fill at least 2 complete cover lessons. Specifically, the puzzles are based on the following 10 themes: famous composers; instruments; popular musicals; music styles and genres; basic foreign terms (tempos, dynamics, performance directions, etc); notation (signs, symbols, elements, etc); famous classical pieces of music; famous rock and pop bands (mostly from the past); describing music (terms relating to descriptions of melody, tonality, structure, etc); Christmas Songs and Carols (for a handy, fun, and seasonal puzzle). Students use logic and problem-solving skills to complete a code-breaker grid in which each letter has been replaced by a number. Each puzzle has a different theme and contains between 20 and 25 words, names, and/ or terms which must be found from one initial clue-word containing 4 different letters. Each time a new word is discovered, new letters are revealed, and to solve the entire puzzle students must replace every number in the grid with its corresponding letter, correctly spelling out all of the names or terms. Each of the 10 puzzles also contain a variety of shaded yellow and blue boxes, which must be unscrambled after all letters have been discovered, to reveal two final names, words, or terms related to the topic. A full set of answers are provided so that students can self-mark and correct – especially important if you use the activities for cover as you will not want to return to a pile of marking! Additionally, a 2-page Teacher Guidance plan is included to fully explain how the code-breakers work, taking you through an example, and to provide suggestions for extension tasks and for offering extra help to students attempting to solve the puzzles. 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.

This is a whole lot of Halloween fun for your music students! Depending upon ability and age group, there is enough in this pack to keep students occupied and engaged for 1 or 2 whole 1-hour lessons, making it perfect for Halloween Week! It’s aimed at Years 6 to 8, but it can work with any students who have a basic knowledge of music notation. Halloween is coming, and a prestigious Witches Coven are making their annual arrangements to mark the occasion! There are ghosts, ghouls, potions, pumpkins, costumes and… a cat! A cat called Teasel who, for whatever reason, is causing absolute chaos and getting in the way of the Coven’s preparations for the big day! Students are invited to unravel Teasel’s mischief, restoring potions, price tags, playlists, and much more, in order to allow Witches Clara, Wendy, and Abigail to complete their well-rehearsed preparations, and ultimately to save Halloween! It’s a whole lot of fun and students love it – and with full answers and basic guidance provided, you’ll love it too! In the process of completing these activities, students get to use their skills in, and knowledge of, treble and bass staff notation, note durations, instruments, composers, and musical symbols – PLUS there’s elements of numeracy, literacy, and history for some great blended learning during this spooky period. I am extremely proud of all my resources and I endeavour to publish work of only the highest quality for you. I greatly value feedback, suggestions, and enquiries from all of my colleague-customers around the world, and I invite you to contact me by email at rainynightmusic@hotmail.com should you wish to ask me anything about my work. Many thanks for considering this resource.

The resources included in this download reflect the exceptional value for money and quality that you rightly expect when purchasing from Rainy Night Music. Indonesian Music is a fascinating topic for KS 3 students to explore. It offers so much in terms of history and culture, and a unique style of music which is very accessible to wide-ranging ability groups. This project focuses on Gamelan and specifically its performance and composition. The project balances cultural and historical contexts with musical characteristics of the Gamelan genre, and there is plenty of time allowed for practical work with you, the teacher, in charge of the precise timings. The project is divided into 2 ‘lessons’, which fit broadly into 2 x 100-minute lessons, but also very well into 3 action-packed hour-long lessons… or indeed 4 hour-long lessons with more time allowed for practical work through the vast resources included in this pack. I have personally taught this project in both of these formats. The content works best with most Year 8 groups, but can also work well with able Year 7 groups. The video tutorials take the pressure off you, the teacher, but also provide you with a step-by-step guide if you are unfamiliar with Gamelan yourself. In this pack you will get an overview/ teaching guide plus each of the following: Lesson 1 worksheet and Lesson 2 worksheet; Lesson 1 PowerPoint and Lesson 2 PowerPoint; Sibelius score of Lesson 1 Task 4 (in 10 Sibelius versions from Sibelius 4 up to Sibelius 7.5); Sibelius score of Lesson 2 Task 1 Blank Template (in 10 Sibelius versions from Sibelius 4 up to Sibelius 7.5); Video Support in MP4 format for Lesson 1 and for Lesson 2; PDF of word search Starter Activity and PDF of crossword Starter Activity; MP3 audio for each of the 4 starter melodies in Lesson 2; PDF of Section B (Advanced) for Lesson 1 Task 4 and PDF of full version with repeats; MP3 audio for Section A, Section B, and a full version of the Gamelan Ternary Piece used for Lesson 1 Task 4. I am very proud of the quality of the resources that I publish, and I hope that you and your students will enjoy them as much as I and my students do. 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. Thank you for considering this resource for your classroom.

This topic focuses on Rhythmic Development, specifically: rhythmic augmentation; rhythmic diminution; rhythmic retrograde; combining techniques. Students are taken through the process with both an information sheet, and a step-by-step PowerPoint. Incidental learning is deliberately included throughout in order to pre-teach things that will come up in other lessons: note groupings; tied notes; rules about crossing the centre of the barline. Independent learning is promoted throughout. 10 x notation tasks develop students’ ability to manipulate rhythms in specific ways which can be applied to composing later on. 10 x listening questions follow which develop students’ ability to focus on rhythmic change, and specifically: tempo (augmentation slower; diminution faster; retrograde and repetition, the same); if it is the same tempo, students must focus on the beginning or end of the rhythm to determine whether it is a repeat or retrograde… the exact same skill required to identify a given rhythm from a number of options in listening exams. All of this comes with a 27-slide animated and beautifully-presented PowerPoint, annotated with detailed teaching guidance notes, to make delivery of the topic smooth and efficient – plus a 2-page student information sheet, 4-page activity sheet, and 3-page detailed answer sheet. With regards to the listening questions, MP3s are provided (and they are always my own compositions), and you may well want to insert the audios into the slide rather than use media player. I take great pride in my resources, and the time and effort I put into them is immediately clear. I am confident that you will find this topic to be fully and comprehensively resourced in order to meet both your needs and the needs of your students… and it will save you (literally) hours of planning, too.

This resource pack comprises 10 Word Search Puzzles based on 10 different musical themes, and they are designed for Years 7 to 9, but can also be used as revision for slightly older students. Each puzzle has 21 words to find, 20 of which are stated on the puzzle, and 1 of which has a riddle as a clue. The puzzles are flexible in how they can be used, but are primarily aimed at being the basis for cover lessons. As such, a 3500-word document, setting out 10 x 1-hour lesson plans for supply teachers is included with this pack. In each case, the word search is the starting point, and a variety of cover-appropriate suggested activities follow, along with detailed support to guide a cover teacher, who may have little or no specialist musical knowledge, through the lesson. Specifically, the themes of the word searches (and lesson plans) are based on the following: famous composers; orchestral instruments; world instruments; Broadway musical characters; music styles and genres; basic foreign terms (tempos, dynamics, performance directions, etc); signs and symbols; elements and eras; Soul and Motown artists; describing music (terms relating to descriptions of melody, tonality, structure, etc). Furthermore, a clear and full set of answers are provided for the word searches themselves, so that students can self-mark and correct. 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.

Put simply: if you teach AQA A-Level Music (new specification 2016+), then this is the best £9 you will ever spend. Yes, there are a couple of things that are specific to my school in terms of its policies on how, when, and who decides when a student is AS or A Level, and a couple of things specific to my own department policies, but that does not detract from what this is: a fully comprehensive guide to the requirements of the AQA AS and A Level Music courses, as interpreted by an experienced Head of Music. I have always used such a video (this one was only made last year, 2016, for the new specification), but it has been shared to the school’s Google Classroom and Moodle for both students and parents to view at their leisure. There is not a single student or parent who could say ‘I didn’t know about that’. This video covers: the differences between AS and A Level Music in terms of both content, weightings, and standards for each of the 3 elements of the course; the set works, including a decent amount of background teaching to the various composers and genres listed; a guide to learning independently - from how to take notes in class, to how to share information with other students, produce detailed notes, and expand those notes through a series of low, medium, and high-level questions (all explained on the video). This insight into ‘how’ to learn at VI Form was actually taken up as a whole-school model for my school by the SLT. Students do not necessarily know ‘how’ to conduct the necessary independent research outside of the classroom - this video dedicates at least 25 minutes to just that. Don’t forget it also instructs parents how to assist, and as it comes with a Site License option, should you take that up, you are free to put this on your own school e-learning platform so that your students and parents may benefit as much as mine. I have even used this video for staff training, with great feedback. You will need to provide the students with print-outs of the AQA Specs which are referred to in the video - I wouldn’t include those PDFs here in case it looks like I am selling the specs! The PDF resources included in this are referred to in the video and are to do with the independent learning. I hope that you get as much benefit from this video in your school as I do in mine. Thank you for buying Rainy Night Music.

This pack is one of six in a series from Rainy Night Music which covers over 350 key words, terms, and instruments listed as Language for Learning on all new UK GCSE Music syllabuses. There is more than a 90% crossover of key terminology between WJEC/ Eduqas, AQA, Edexcel and OCR, and this series covers them all. This particular pack deals with Instruments and Groups. Specifically, the 9 key-word groupings for these activity sets are: Woodwind; Strings; Brass; Percussion; Keyboards; Voices; World Percussion; Other World Instruments; Ensemble Timbres. For each topic stated, there are 8 key words (72 in total) which may form the basis of a theory and listening lesson, but will certainly link the words in a related and structured way - in much the same way MFL vocabulary is taught. Each topic has a word search designed to pre-teach the key words, a flash card template (for students to complete through independent research for homework) to pre-teach the definitions, a mix ‘n’ match activity to provide the actual definitions. Ideally, the actual theory and lesson will follow this to allow consolidation, and then the crossword activity serves as the revision activity. ALL activities have FULL answers provided with this download. However, there is a great deal of flexibility in how you use and get the most out of these activities – my personal recommendation would be to re-use the mix ‘n’ match activity to create an additional resource (where the terms are not separated from one another), and use it for Quiz-Quiz-Trade starters and plenaries in Year 11. I really hope that you will enjoy my resources and find them useful. I pride myself on the quality of the resources that I publish, and I welcome feedback and enquiries from all of my colleague-customers across the world.

**A set of 3 tiered Music Bingo Games based on rhythmic dictation. Level 1 would be suitable for beginners to reading music; Level 2 would be suitable for slightly more experienced readers; Level 3 for more confident students. ** Each of the 3 Bingo Games in this set has 15 different one-bar rhythms – 45 unique rhythms in total. Each game has 12 unique playing cards, which can very realistically be doubled up for a class of 24 students. Each game also has a master calling card containing 2 clues (one easier, one more difficult) to dictate each of the 15 rhythms on the calling card. Each unique playing card has a total of 9 of the 15 rhythms on it. This set of 3 is specifically designed to facilitate and accommodate progress, primarily in aural dictation, although rhythms can also be read out if students are not experienced in writing down rhythms by ear. Nonetheless, 45 x (short) MP3 files are included in this download to enable the teacher (or even a non-specialist supply teacher) to run this as a listening activity; there are 15 x MP3 files for each game. The Level 1 game is suitable for beginners, being based exclusively on simple minims, crotchets, and quavers. No note pitches are used; rhythms are presented on a single-line percussion staff. The Level 2 game is suitable for slightly more experienced musicians, being based on quavers, and both simple and dotted minims and crotchets. Just like Level 1, no note pitches are used; rhythms are presented on a single-line percussion staff. The Level 3 game is suitable for more confident musicians, being based on semiquavers, and both simple and dotted minims, crotchets, and quavers, including ties. Again, no note pitches are used; rhythms are still presented on a single-line percussion staff. This set is available as part of a 6-pack Bingo Bundle, here: [https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/music-bingo-bundle-12178022].
