**This is a great resource for studying the multi-layered soundtrack from the Rooftop Chase scene from Mission Impossible ‘Fallout’. ** The film is divided into appropriate sections with columns on the worksheet for the Musical Elements, followed by a column to describe the music’s effects. The task can be easily differentiated for high ability or to include KS4 technical vocabulary. A second sheet contains a suggested homework assignment, in which the students develop their notes into a piece of extended writing.

This is an original Scheme of Work for Secondary Schools inspired by Tonesight, a system that uses music and motion sensing to make visual artworks accessible to the visually-impaired. It encourages students to consider the links between visual art and music before guiding them through a series of listening, performing and composing activities. *There are 12 lessons of varied and engaging activities including listening exercises, performance tasks and tests followed by a project guiding the students through the steps to creating their own ‘Tonesight’ composition. * Links to multiple resources including relevant and engaging Youtube videos are provioded throughout. **This is particularly suitable for final year KS3 students or first-year GCSE Music students. ** By the end of this topic students should: understand some of the creative and philosophical links between music and image become more confident performing music together and as soloists develop the creative, technical and theoretical skills for composing original music for an artwork, preparing it for playback at an art exhibition as a means for helping a blind or visually-impaired person *please note that Logic Pro X and Sibelius, or two similar MIDI and notation applications, are required to complete this SOW

This scheme of work is for any KS3 class beginning to use Logic Pro, although the tasks would apply equally to Garageband. Week by week, the scheme takes the students through the levels of progression from ‘Bedroom Startup’ to ‘Superstar Producer’ giving them essential skills and tips for using Logic effectively. Alongside written descriptions, screenshots of the relevant processes are also provided.

**A fun and though-provoking activity for Music Ks3 or GCSE students. ** In small groups, the students have 10 minutes to plan their own Jukebox musical using only the songs listed on the cards. After 10 minutes, they must pitch their idea to a West End Theatre Director (ie you!) for potential commissioning. As well as using their imagination to think of an entertaining (family-friendly) storyline, the students need to consider how the song’s hook or lyrics will contribute to the musical’s storyline / tempo and mood of the song / which songs work best as opener and finale / which voice or voices are performing the song and how that fits with the characters in their story.
