Here are some simple tunes I teach to year 8 to recap the basics; treble clef, bass clef, simple rhythms, accidentals etc... Cover lots of 12 bar blues stuff and improvisation, hope it is of use to some of you!

Inspired by “Mock the Week”! If this is the answer… …what is the question? Students have to think of a possible exam question for the answer given. I’ve found it has helped students with exam technique - in a silly fun way!

Another set of 12 tunes to study for AOS5, different to what I uploaded before! Workbook with score of each song Accompanying powerpoint Covers terminology from OCR specification Clicking on the picture of each artist links to a youtube clip

Designed for Sept 2020 when having to teach KS3 music without instruments in random classrooms! The students draw what they imagine in their head as they listen to the music… lesson 1; Beethoven’s 6th Symphony & Grieg’s Hall of Mountain King lesson 2; Ravel’s Jeux D’eau & Dukas’s Sorcerer’s Apprentice lesson 3; Berlioz’s Symphonie Fantastique & Stravinsky’s Rite of Spring The perfect excuse to encourage lots of discussion about how musical techniques have sparked their vivid imaginations!

Here are some tunes my year 9's have enjoyed learning...!

Here are some simple tunes I teach to year 7 to teach the basics; treble clef, bass clef, simple rhythms, accidentals etc... Also some stuff on rounds & canons, hope it might be of use to some of you!

OCR Music GCSE Area of Study 3 I did this with my yr10 class as a "pub quiz". A few slides probably need editing (any feedback would be greatly appreciated) but it was a lot of fun, hope some of you find it useful! (The dancing round with Geoffrey my pink fluffy toy flamingo was particularly spectacular)

5th Symphony worksheet

Someone else on here had the brilliant idea of 'When Dr Who met Handel' which inspired me to make up a few more (not only composers but also a few jazz / pop artists, fitting in with black history month and 12 bar blues) My year 10 class produced some amazing powerpoint presentations - it forced them to research the genres / eras / composers / artists (well, ok they probably looked on wikipedia!) and then create some fantastically funny stories for homework! Hope some of you find it similarly useful for a homework or cover lesson etc :-)
