This A3 Worksheet is a great resource when you need to set cover for a music lesson but don’t have a non specialist to teach it. For this task students must create the branding for a new band called ‘Hazard’. This involves designing a logo for the band, an album cover, a picture vinyl and even a tour van! This could also be used as a great KS3 Graphics cover lesson. Print in A3

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!

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 I really hope you find this product useful! I have used these successfully with my classes for years and they are so convenient for when I am absent or leaving classes to cover due to exams, concerts, shows and trips. I recommend pairing this resource with my set of 16 music wordsearches!

EIGHT PRACTICE DICTATION QUESTIONS These dictation tests were written to provide authentic examples of the 5-mark dictation questions found in Eduqas GCSE Music exams. They cover the four Areas of Study, with a focus on the focus areas announced on 7th February 2022: Romantic Music Vocal Ensembles Film Music Popular music The questions come in groups of four, one for each of the categories above, and each group of four features music by musicians whose names begin with the same letter. In this pack, the musicians’ names begin with the letters A and B. The main feature of all these shorter questions is dictation, to help students practice this type of exam question, worth five marks. I have added a few additional shorter questions, totalling three additional marks, so that every question is worth eight marks, rather than the 12 in the actual exam. As these are shorter questions, to focus on dictation, the extracts are shorter (generally 20–25 seconds long), and there is less time after the question for students to complete their answers. Each listening test is approx. 5’30"-6’00" long. This pack contains one document with questions and answers, and separate documents for just the questions (incl. YouTube links), and just the answers, in case teachers want to set the exercises as homework. The document comes complete with: YouTube links with exact timings for all musical examples Full mark scheme Perfect for printing on double-sided A3 sheets.

Harmony, Form and Structure The GCSE Music Specification includes many terms that students need to know, and be able to identify, but which aren’t covered by many of the styles of music studied. Many students struggle with recognising musical elements, especially cadences, chord inversions, and other elements of harmony, form and structure, so this resource comprises 17 short extracts of music, five of which have skeleton scores, as in the exam. Each extract has four questions attached, covering all the terms associated with Harmony, Form and Structure: HARMONY Primary chords Secondary chords Inversion Diatonic Tonic Subdominant Dominant (7th) Perfect cadence Imperfect cadence Plagal cadence Interrupted cadence Chord progression/chord sequence Harmonic rhythm Drone Pedal Dissonance Power chords FORM AND STRUCTURE Binary Ternary Rondo Minuet and Trio Repetition Contrast Theme and variations Strophic 32 bar song form/AABA 12 bar Blues Call and response Ostinato Bridge Break Loop Improvisation Verse Chorus Middle 8 Fill Introduction Outro Coda Riff Regular phrasing Irregular phrasing The extracts cover a wide range of music, featuring the likes of Joan Jett, Mahler, Primus, Jimmy Rushing, Mel Tormé, Carly Simon, Henry Mancini, Katrina & the Waves, and Blu Cantrell.

Myself and my Year 6 team put together a fantastic Year 6 production of Shrek and I thought others may be interested. We split the roles between our 45 children. We had some children double/triple up on one role e.g. we had 3 different Shreks, 3 Fionas, 3 Donkeys, 2 Lord Farquaads and a narrator, as well as many other cast members. I used the script from the original movie and adapted and cut out bits - like the dragon falling in love with the donkey. It took around 45minutes-1hour to perform. I hope this is useful for someone. I absolutely loved doing it and would definitely do it again in the future!

Musical Styles – Tonality – Tempo – Rhythm – Dynamics The GCSE Music Specification includes many terms that students need to know, and be able to identify, but which aren’t covered by many of the styles of music studied. Many students struggle with recognising musical elements on a printed score, so this resource comprises 20 short extracts of music, 17 of which have skeleton scores, as in the exam. Each extract has four questions attached, covering the terms associated with: Musical Styles Tonality Tempo Rhythm Dynamics The extracts cover a wide range of music, featuring music from the likes of Abba, Count Basie, Anthrax, Tupac, Berlioz, Whitney Houston, Al Green, JS Bach, Pluto Shervington, Sting, and Dame Judi Dench!

Sonority – Instrument Recognition Questions The GCSE Music Specification includes many terms that students need to know, and be able to identify, but which aren’t covered by many of the styles of music studied. Using only music from Popular Music, this revision resource brings together every instrument, voice and ensemble (apart from “basso continuo”, for obvious reasons!) from the sub-menu “Sonority”, ie instruments, voices, and ensembles. In order to be accessible to students who really struggle with such things, there are 50 simple, 1-mark questions, which ask students to identify an instrument, voice type, or ensemble. In addition, there is also a bonus question alongside every simple question, for students who find such things easier – so 100 questions in total! So that the first group of students don’t feel like they’re underachieving, there are two different PDFs: one with just the 50 simple questions, and one with the bonus questions as well, so teachers can choose which to give their students. The questions are in ten sections: Strings Woodwind Brass Percussion Keyboards Rock and Pop Indian Voices Miscellaneous Ensembles The resource comes with a link to FREE audio, running for 1h15’, either as one file or ten separate files: perfect for a revision lesson, or as homework. The extracts cover a wide range of Popular Music, and features music by the likes of Eva Cassidy, Led Zeppelin, Björk, Yes, Primus, Tanita Tikaram, The Meters, Minnie Riperton, Tom Waits, Genesis, Jamiroquai, Badly Drawn Boy, Freak Power, Blood, Sweat & Tears, and The Cure! The bundle includes the full paper and mark scheme, plus two PDFs of questions (50, or 100), and mark scheme separately, in case you want to set it remotely.
