Detailed Power Point with embedded audio & video clips to support the study of Film & Gaming Music for the GCSE specification.
Film Music section focuses on John Williams and Hans Zimmer. Listening questions are worded similar to a GCSE exam paper. An exam style question is also provided.
Gaming section looks at the early beginnings, Mario Kart and Assassin’s Creed.
These cover worksheets are ideal for staff absences! All 8 require no prep, little/no technology, and are suitable for non-specialist teachers.
The worksheets have been designed with convenience in mind! Print and copy a class set of each and keep them handy with the overview sheets. Pupils answer on paper to save copying new sheets each time!
The overview sheets allows you or your substitute to see at-a-glance what classes have completed what sheets, and what tech/pupil knowledge is required for each so they can choose an activity suitable for them and the class.
Each worksheet should last a lesson, and there are suggestions of extension activities for fast finishers. They are suitable for a range of ages and abilities as I have used lots of open and general questions. The sheets are dyslexia-friendly with careful choice of layout and fonts. Pupils can work independently with no assistance from the teacher, perfect for non-specialists.
The worksheets cover a range of topics. Each has an icon in the corner to help you sort them quickly if they get mixed up. The range included means these can be used for General Music, Choir, Orchestra or a range of other music classes. They are aimed at years 7-9 /S1-3 BGE but are general enough to be used with older or younger classes too.
This set of sub sheets includes:
A Year of Music
A-Z Questions
Composer Profile
Film Music Moment
Plan a Jukebox Musical
Plan a Music Festival
Song Research Task
Stop the Bus

The aim of this topic is to give children the opportunity to learn about the music of Mexico through listening and singing.
The children will:
Listen to a variety of music styles and genres from Mexico.
Learn about the instruments used in the popular Mariachi bands.
Listen to some music from the Maya Civilisation.
Learn to sing the song Al Citron and play the stone passing game associated with it.
This a a short topic that can be stretched to 6 weeks or done in 3, depending on the amount of time dedicated to your music lessons. It would work nicely as a cross-curricular topic if you are looking at Mexico in Geography or the Mayan Civilisation in History.
A fun and engaging unit in which students work creatively to produce a radio advert for a product of their choice. Students develop an understanding of the structure of adverts and learn what makes a successful jingle and underscore. They draw on existing knowledge of performance on the keyboard to play existing jingles and compose their own. An understanding of chords is developed through analysis, performance and composition of underscores. Students can work with ICT to complete their project, although the unit can also be completed using live performance.
UPDATE – Due to the large number of complaints about dead links – I have checked every one on 2 separate devices. I have found and have repaired one Dead Link. Please use the Playlist link below as it has every video in sequence – I can only apologize if any problems continue, but I have done everything possible to rectify your concerns.
I have replaced the original document with the updated version.
Hopefully the issue is fixed, but I honestly couldn’t find an obvious one
This is the 2nd Year of the calendar and still at its simplest level the purpose of this calendar is to offer a wide-ranging selection of music: different styles, genres, origins, artists, historical periods and so on.
As part of an interesting and robust music curriculum, children need to hear and experience music and musical styles and artists that they may not otherwise have the opportunity to hear. The idea was to create a calendar of a song a day.
190 school days… 190 songs.
These songs could be used in whatever way the user thinks best – on entry to the classroom in the morning, as assembly music, as a calming session after breaktimes of lunchtimes, or as an introduction to a music lesson.
This resource includes this year’s calendar AND last year’s - 2 years of music - for £2!
This year I am asking a nominal fee of £2, for a complete resource that will last you all year. I am proud of the product and feel that for the extensive hours spent creating it £2 is well worth it!
29 pages of essential need to know basics of music theory for GCSE. Including worksheets on scales, chords, key signatures, and pages to practice melodic or rhythmic dictation. You tube links included.
**This excel document is designed for the Eduqas 9-1 Music GCSE exam. **
This is now UPDATED to reflect the new changes in performance and composition marking.
This file will allow you to add marks for each component of the course on the separate tabs and automatically calculates the grade that the student is on. There is a tab for you to update the grade boundaries each year and a summary sheet for total clarity.
It is really clear to see whether the student is either exceeding, on or below their target grade so that interventions can then be made.
It will also tell you how many marks are needed for the Appraising Paper once the coursework marks are completed.
I have also added in cells for ease of entering marks onto the Eduqas marksheets.
Please enable macros and read the front sheet carefully. If the front sheet does not calculate how you thing it should it is usually because there is a missing information.
All sheets are locked but you are free to hide any columns you do not wish.
I hope you understand that the password will not be given out as this has taken a great deal of time to formulate
