This lesson focuses on Chords and Cadences. Specific content is as follows: Major/ Minor/ Diminished/ Augmented chords and how they fit into major and minor keys; Root Position/ First Inversion/ Second Inversion chords; Perfect/ Imperfect/ Plagal/ Interrupted/ Tierce de Picardie Cadences. Students are taken through the information with both an information sheet, and a step-by-step PowerPoint. 12 x written/ notation tasks spread over 3 x activities develop students’ ability to create, identify and interpret all basic chord types and the 5 main types of cadence (mentioned above). 10 x listening questions conclude the lesson, in which students’ ability to distinguish between Perfect and Imperfect cadences is developed. Two Tierce de Picardie cadences are also included in the listening test to challenge more gifted musicians. By the end of the lesson students will have a secure knowledge of chords and cadences.
This download includes a 33-slide animated and beautifully-presented PowerPoint, annotated with detailed teaching guidance notes, to make delivery of the lesson smooth and efficient – plus a 4-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.

**A complete Harmony and Tonality Theory and Listening Programme of Study appropriate for any GCSE Music course.** This is an in-depth and fully resourced Programme of Study comprising six whole topics which will help your students to gain an excellent working knowledge of harmony and tonality at this level. It is recommended that the topics are taught in the following order: (1) Chords and Cadences; (2) Major and Minor Scales; (3) Key Relations and the Circle of 5ths; (4) Modulation and Pivot Chords; (5) Modes and Pop Chords; (6) Dominant 7ths in Practice. If you are teaching a 3-year KS 4 Programme, I would advise going no further than Topic 3 during Year 9, but all topics can be taught in Year 10 with plenty of time to develop and explore skills in Year 11. All resources have been tried and tested in the classroom with excellent results - particularly in music composition. I take great care over my resources and I believe them to be of the very highest quality in terms of content, usability, and presentation.
