This is a substantial powerpoint with fully embedded sounds.
There are 23 slides covering basic and extended chords on C.
Each slide shows a clear two octave piano keyboard - showing all note names.
As the slides progress the piano keyboard shows the notes present in each chord.
There are two speaker buttons - when pressed one will play your named chord harmonically and the other will play the chord melodically.
The following chords are included:
C major triad
C Sus 2
C Sus 4
C5
C6
C7
C9
C flat9
C add 9
C11
C13
C major 7
C minor
C minor 6
C minor 7
C minor maj 7th
C minor 9
C diminished triad
C diminished 7th
C minor 7 flat 5 / half diminished
C augmented triad
This is not designed to be presented in all one session but rather a reference point.
It very clearly shows the notes in the chord and you can choose to hear how they sound.
All chords have been embedded.
This is uploaded as powerpoint and you can easily arrange the slides in an order that is appropriate for your learners - leaving extended chords towards the end perhaps.
Key Stage 3 Unit of Work but useful for reinforcing key terms at any stage.
Ten key words to support understanding.
Each slide has a single key word with fully automated reveals of meanings.
All meanings are identified and supported with audio or visual.
All mp3 and mp4 files are attached here.
PLEASE READ THIS INFORMATION CAREFULLY!
This is a seven slide powerpoint document with fully embedded instrumental sounds.
This has been made using the latest version of Powerpoint.
YOU WILL ONLY ACCESS SOUND BITES ON PRESENTATION.
All instrumental sounds are fully embedded so that when you select an instrument it will play the corresponding sound.
YOU WILL NOT SEE ANY VISIBLE SOUND FILES ON DOWN LOAD - THIS IS ABSOLUTELY AS IT SHOULD BE!
Each slide will only reveal the family name and instrumental name on click and in PRESENTATION MODE.
This means that each family slide could be played with instrument sounds only if you wish.
Each slide has clear images of the instruments.
Slides are divided into orchestral families:
String : Violin Viola 'Cello Double Bass Guitar & Harp
Woodwind: Picc, Flute, Oboe, Cor, Clarinet, Bass Clarinet, Alto Saxophone, Bassoon & Contra

Percussion 1 (untuned): Claves, Triangle, Bass drum, Snare drum, Cymbals & Timps
Percussion 2 (tuned): Xylo, Glock & Marimba
Keyboards: Piano, Harpsichord, Celeste, Synth & Organ
This is really useful for a range of activities linked to the aural recognition of instrumental timbre as well as visual identification.
I have used this with Key Stage 3 and 4.
PLEASE REMEMBER :
1. You will need the latest version of powerpoint .
2. You WILL NOT SEE music files on download.
3. YOU MUST be in presentation mode to activate the sound files.
