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. I take great pride in my resources, and the time and effort I put into them is immediately clear.

This resource pack comprises 10 Crossword Puzzles based on general musical knowledge, and they are designed for Years 7 to 9, but can also be used as revision for GCSE/ BTEC music students. Each puzzle has 15 clues to solve and it is expected that students will take between 10 and 15 minutes to complete each one. As such, they work well on an individual basis as Starters, homework tasks, or revision, and can even be used in combination to fill up to 2 complete cover lessons. Each puzzle has 15 clues, and each clue falls into one of 15 areas: Composers; Countries; Techniques/ Technology; Chords/ Scales; Instruments; Structure/ Form; Genre/ Style; Keys; Tempos; Dynamics/ Articulation; Signs and Symbols; Broadway Musicals; History of Pop Music Singers and Groups; Elements and Eras; Music Theory ‘pot luck’. Since each puzzle contains one clue from each of these 15 areas, they are truly balanced and broad-ranging, making each one great for testing general musical knowledge – not to mention fun! A full set of answers are provided so that students can self-mark and correct – especially important if you use the activities for cover as you will not want to return to a pile of marking! Feel free to allow students to use the internet to research some of the more tricky clues – independent learning is always beneficial to students. I take great care to ensure my resources are of the highest quality – both in content and in presentation – and I wholeheartedly recommend them to both you and your students. I welcome feedback and enquiries from my colleague-customers all over the world, and I can be contacted directly at rainynightmusic@hotmail.com.

Joni Mitchell is the third-named artist in the optional - and most popular - Area of Study 2: Pop Music on the new AQA A Level Syllabus (for first teaching from September 2016). Blue is carefully chosen by Rainy Night Music as one of five songs, covering the top three named artists on the syllabus, which - together - cover ALL of the elements listed by AQA in Area of Study 2, whilst offering the necessary contrast. This resource pack comprises: a full Sibelius Piano and Voice score of Blue for Sibelius 4, 5, 6, 7, and 7.5, including first and student versions - all versions included in download; a 2-page student worksheet designed to allow students to gain vital analysis skills; a 2-page detailed answer sheet, which constitutes a thorough analysis of everything that a student needs to know for the exam; an MP3 audio of the Sibelius score from a high quality sound-card recording. If you are a teacher, this resource pack will save you literally hours of planning; if you are a student, this will inform you about everything you need to know about this piece for the exam. Teaching and Learning Packs for the other 4 songs are also available from Rainy Night Music for more great value prices: Muse: Undisclosed Desires (£4); Muse: Apocalypse Please (£4); Stevie Wonder: I Just Called To Say I Love You (£4); Stevie Wonder: Superstition (£3). All resources bear the hallmark of quality and experience that you come to expect when you buy the Rainy Night Music brand.

Perfect for Year 7, this project takes students on an exciting journey which begins with the introduction of the Musical Alphabet. From here, they learn how to construct melodies using ordinary words. They are then introduced to simple 3-note chords - again using only the letters of the Musical Alphabet (no sharp or flat symbols, just letters). Students then learn how to match their words with chords, which becomes the basis of a melody with an accompaniment. The next part of the journey is to learn 4 of the basic music symbols and their numeric values in terms of beats (semibreve=4, minim=2, crotchet=1, quaver=1/2). Students group the symbols in a variety of ways so that the combined value is always 4, which creates rhythms. Finally, students are shown how to allocate these rhythms to the words that they have already matched with chords. This creates a rhythmic melody with an accompaniment. The project may end with students (in pairs or small groups) performing their compositions at the piano - a printable ‘note ruler’ is included with the download pack, which fits perfectly over most standard piano keys so that students know which notes to play. They may or may not perform the rhythms correctly, but the composing process, at a basic level, will have been properly learned. I take great pride in the high quality of resources, the outstanding value and excellent customer service that customers benefit from. I believe that my students deserve the very best and I will not sell any resources that I would not use for my own students. I hope that you decide to purchase from my store, and remember: please do get in touch if you have any questions at all. Contact Steve at rainynightmusic@hotmail.com

In this download pack, you get a structured 4-page worksheet with 8 separate activities -only one of which is teacher-marked, the rest is student-marked via the Answer Slides included on the 18-slide PowerPoint Presentation, which takes you through the entire structure of the project. If you have 100 minute lessons, you will be just shy of 2 full lessons here - if you have 60-minute lessons, you’ll have 3 full lessons including the assessment and DIT sheet. This unit teaches both Bass and Treble Clef notation (not including rests). The worksheet includes both practical and theory tasks - a right-hand study at keyboard of Ode to Joy, and a left-hand study of the Oompa Loompa Song, for Treble and Bass clef respectively. This allows the theoretical learning to sink in through practical studies. For students who are low ability or who have special needs, there is a full Low- Ability Access pack with alternative worksheet, answers, and a graphic score of Ode to Joy and Oompa Loompa using a system of colourful, cute, and cool graphics of animals courtesy of Pretty Grafik Designs, Montreal, Canada (check them out on Etsy). This access pack is very easy to understand, and all you will need to do is hand it to your TA. No fuss, explanations, or anything. It’s done for you. Still need persuading? Okay - there is a full 30-minutes of video tutorial provided by me - I will actually teach your class the skills in a purpose-made video using Camtasia software, which enables absolute clarity through various tools that you simply can’t repeat in a live setting. While I’m doing this, you can sit at the back of the room, keep an eye on the students and catch up with your marking. I use my video lessons in my own classroom for this reason - and because they fit the worksheets perfectly, there’s no confusion. There is an extension task for the gifted students - a 4-part arrangement of the Oompa Loompa song courtesy of myself in Sibelius Score form (all versions from 4-7.5 including Student and First versions) - and free note rulers (standard and animal ones for the lower-ability) on A3 PDFs that you simply need to print, laminate, and guillotine to keep your keyboards free from board markers, and facilitate instant access to playing music. Finally (yes, there’s more!) you have a 30-mark assessment designed to test the key learning of this project, all complete with an answer sheet and student reflection/ DIT sheet.

This resource pack includes 14 interactive fun quizzes based on language for learning and is suitable for ALL GCSE Music specs. In this download pack you get 14 x 30-Question interactive Quizzes: 7 x Gold Run quizzes (ideal for learning and consolidating) and 7 x Stirke Out! quizzes (ideal for revision and testing) - both of which work extremely well on an individual basis and whole-class basis. There are 7 topic areas covered: GCSE Music Terminology for Rhythm, Metre and Tempo GCSE Music Terminology for Harmony and Tonality GCSE Music Terminology for Melody and Texture GCSE Music Terminology for Timbre and Dynamics GCSE Music Terminology for Structure and Genre General Musical Knowledge A Level Music Foreign Terminology/ ABRSM Grade 5 PLUS you also get a Christmas version to do with your Tutor Group absolutely free until the end of term. So that’s 16 quizzes in total (8 Strike Out! and 8 Gold Run). For each question, there are 4 possible answers. In the Gold Run! each of the 30 questions are asked in turn and whilst any number of incorrect answers will sound a ‘buzzer’, the same question will stay on the screen until the correct answer is reached. Students need to answer all 30 questions to win. This is ideal as a whole class activity, that will last about 20 or 30 minutes. In the Strike Out! version of the quiz, the same 30 questions are grouped into 10 sets of 3, and an incorrect answer will trigger the 2nd question in the set, another incorrect answer will trigger the final question in the set, and if that question is answered incorrectly, that’s a Strike Out! and it’s somebody else’s turn to have a go (or the class starts again). This is a more exciting version (and competitive!). Both versions are great for revision - end of term/ half-term, or just for general revision of terminology/ language for learning. For your convenience, the download pack has both .pptx and .ppt versions of both quizzes so that you can access them in Open Office as well as ordinary Office applications. I hope that you enjoy these quizzes and that they provide lots of fun revision activities for you and your classes. I am grateful for your feedback at rainynightmusic@hotmail.com For other activities please take a look at this comprehensive revision bundle https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/gcse-music-revision-activities-bundle-12041321

This resource is suitable for AS and A Level Music and Grade 4 and 5 ABRSM Theory. This is a whole topic in terms of content and activities. It is fully supported by a 25-slide PowerPoint and 2 worksheets, all with detailed answers. This resource pack could be used for either revision or content delivery. By the end of worksheet 1, students will be confident in transcribing music from one clef to another so that it sounds at the same pitch. The clefs covered are: Treble; Alto; Tenor; Bass. By the end of the topic, students should be equipped with the skills, techniques, and experience to transpose to concert pitch from written pitch (and vice-versa) for instruments in C that transpose at the octave, and for all transposing instruments in Bb, A, G, F, and Eb. There are more than 30 exercises – all with detailed answers on a PDF document, and as part of a handy PowerPoint presentation (which includes Objectives, differentiated Outcomes) making delivery of the content a breeze. Not only are transposition skills invaluable for potential exam questions, they are essential to correctly analysing orchestral music as part of any high level music course. Students also benefit from these skills in the area of composition: developing knowledge of instruments and how they work. I really hope that you will enjoy my resources and find them useful. I pride myself on the quality of the resources and I welcome feedback and enquiries from all of my colleague-customers throughout the world.

This lesson is intended as a first step towards creating proper modulations using pivot chords as part of a Cycle of Fifths progression. The topic builds upon prior knowledge of the Circle of Fifths, Major and Minor Scales, and creating triads. Students are taken through the information with both an information sheet, and a step-by-step PowerPoint that really goes the extra mile. 24 x written/ notation tasks guide students through the following concepts: deriving a House of Keys (for Modulation options) from the Circle of Fifths; how to organise diatonic chords into a Cycle of Fifths progression; how to find common chords between ‘House of Key’ keys; how to use a common chord as a Pivot chord within a Cycle of Fifths progression in the target key. This is a weighty, GCSE level topic, and it will open the door to students achieving higher-level composition grades through an understanding of how to move around the Circle of Fifths. Additionally, there are 10 x listening questions to conclude the lesson, in which students’ ability to distinguish between modulations to Relative Major, Relative Minor, and Dominant keys are tested. By the end of the lesson students will have a secure knowledge of the topic, and you – the teacher – will have more than enough scope to set additional activities as homework should you wish to. All of this comes with a 29-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 4-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. I really hope that you will enjoy my resources and find them useful.

The resources included in this download reflect the exceptional value for money and quality that you rightly expect when purchasing from Rainy Night Music. Indonesian Music is a fascinating topic for KS 3 students to explore. It offers so much in terms of history and culture, and a unique style of music which is very accessible to wide-ranging ability groups. This project focuses on Gamelan and specifically its performance and composition. The project balances cultural and historical contexts with musical characteristics of the Gamelan genre, and there is plenty of time allowed for practical work with you, the teacher, in charge of the precise timings. The project is divided into 2 ‘lessons’, which fit broadly into 2 x 100-minute lessons, but also very well into 3 action-packed hour-long lessons… or indeed 4 hour-long lessons with more time allowed for practical work through the vast resources included in this pack. I have personally taught this project in both of these formats. The content works best with most Year 8 groups, but can also work well with able Year 7 groups. The video tutorials take the pressure off you, the teacher, but also provide you with a step-by-step guide if you are unfamiliar with Gamelan yourself. In this pack you will get an overview/ teaching guide plus each of the following: Lesson 1 worksheet and Lesson 2 worksheet; Lesson 1 PowerPoint and Lesson 2 PowerPoint; Sibelius score of Lesson 1 Task 4 (in 10 Sibelius versions from Sibelius 4 up to Sibelius 7.5); Sibelius score of Lesson 2 Task 1 Blank Template (in 10 Sibelius versions from Sibelius 4 up to Sibelius 7.5); Video Support in MP4 format for Lesson 1 and for Lesson 2; PDF of word search Starter Activity and PDF of crossword Starter Activity; MP3 audio for each of the 4 starter melodies in Lesson 2; PDF of Section B (Advanced) for Lesson 1 Task 4 and PDF of full version with repeats; MP3 audio for Section A, Section B, and a full version of the Gamelan Ternary Piece used for Lesson 1 Task 4. I am very proud of the quality of the resources that I publish, and I hope that you and your students will enjoy them as much as I and my students do.

This topic builds upon prior knowledge of modulation to related keys via a pivot chord within Cycle of 5ths Progressions. The specific focus of this topic is the Dominant 7th Chord, and it comprises a full study on how a V7 chord may be applied in a variety of situations. Students are first shown how to create a 7th chord on any degree of a major or minor scale, and the dominant 7th chord is highlighted as important. The first activity requires students to apply the V7 chord to create Perfect Cadences in a variety of keys up to 4 sharps and flats, which also serves as excellent revision of key signatures and scales. The second activity examines the V7 chord as a substitute for the Leading chord in a cycle of 5ths progression, requiring students to follow a Roman Numerals chord progression to craft modulations between adjacent minor keys on the Circle of Fifths – providing excellent revision of chord positions and triad creation. The third activity examines how a pivot chord need not be identical, but instead a ‘strong best fit’, requiring students to craft more complex modulations. The final activity is a listening one in which students’ ability to distinguish between modulations to the dominant and subdominant in both major and minor keys is tested. By the end of the topic your students will have arrived at the border of Advanced Level study in Harmony and Tonality, and it will have stretched your most able students to achieve the very highest grades in composition through outstanding modulations. All of this comes with a 26-slide animated and beautifully-presented PowerPoint, annotated with detailed teaching guidance notes, to make delivery of the lesson smooth and efficient – plus a 5-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.

This resource pack comprises 10 Code Breaker Puzzles based on general musical knowledge of 10 different areas, and are designed for Key Stage 3 music students. With each puzzle expected to take students between 15 and 30 minutes to complete, they are ideal for individual homework tasks, or can be used in combination to fill at least 2 complete cover lessons. Specifically, the puzzles are based on the following 10 themes: famous composers; instruments; popular musicals; music styles and genres; basic foreign terms (tempos, dynamics, performance directions, etc); notation (signs, symbols, elements, etc); famous classical pieces of music; famous rock and pop bands (mostly from the past); describing music (terms relating to descriptions of melody, tonality, structure, etc); Christmas Songs and Carols (for a handy, fun, and seasonal puzzle). Students use logic and problem-solving skills to complete a code-breaker grid in which each letter has been replaced by a number. Each puzzle has a different theme and contains between 20 and 25 words, names, and/ or terms which must be found from one initial clue-word containing 4 different letters. Each time a new word is discovered, new letters are revealed, and to solve the entire puzzle students must replace every number in the grid with its corresponding letter, correctly spelling out all of the names or terms. Each of the 10 puzzles also contain a variety of shaded yellow and blue boxes, which must be unscrambled after all letters have been discovered, to reveal two final names, words, or terms related to the topic. A full set of answers are provided so that students can self-mark and correct – especially important if you use the activities for cover as you will not want to return to a pile of marking! Additionally, a 2-page Teacher Guidance plan is included to fully explain how the code-breakers work, taking you through an example, and to provide suggestions for extension tasks and for offering extra help to students attempting to solve the puzzles. I take great care to ensure my resources are of the highest quality – both in content and in presentation – and I wholeheartedly recommend them to both you and your students. I welcome feedback and enquiries from my colleague-customers all over the world, and I can be contacted directly at rainynightmusic@hotmail.com.

This resource comprises 10 worksheets designed to secure, revise, and test knowledge of Scales and Modes. Aimed at Key Stage 4 Students, each worksheet should take around 15 minutes to complete, making them perfect on an individual basis for homework tasks, tests, distance-learning, revision activities, and collectively, as full cover lessons suitable for a supply teacher. If you use it for the latter, you needn’t worry about coming back to a huge pile of marking because full answers and a detailed teacher guide are also included in this resource pack, so students can mark and correct their own work, and teachers with limited specialist subject knowledge are thoroughly supported. Specifically, the worksheets incorporate the following types of activity: identifying major, and harmonic and melodic minor scales using fixed-interval semitone patterns (for both the bass and treble clef); adding accidentals to create major, and harmonic and melodic minor scales (in the bass and treble clef); using key signatures to create associated major, and related harmonic and melodic minor scales (in bass and treble clef notation); identifying Dorian, Phrygian, Lydian, Mixolydian, Aeolian, and Locrian modes using fixed-interval semitone patterns (again, in both the bass and treble clef); creating modes on different starting notes using knowledge of fixed-interval semitone patterns (on bass and treble staves). In total, there are 138 questions spread across 10 high-quality worksheets which will keep students busy for over two hours. I take great care to ensure my resources are of the highest quality – both in content and in presentation – and I wholeheartedly recommend them to both you and your students.

African Music is a very popular topic in Key Stage 3 Music. This project focuses on Rhythm and Metre, balancing theoretical elements such as basic note durations, time signatures, and specific features of rhythm and metre with live group performances. The cultural and historical elements of the music are also a focus within the unit, and explicitly so in 2 of the tasks for the benefit of subject-specific Citizenship requirements. The project is divided into 2 ‘lessons’, which fit perfectly into 2 x 100-minute lessons, but also very well into 3 action-packed hour-long lessons… I have personally taught this project in both of these formats. The theoretical content works best with most Year 8 groups, but can also work well with high-ability Year 7 groups; the performing and composing tasks work great with either year group. The video tutorials take the pressure off you, the teacher, if you need half an hour or so to check homework, etc. Let me teach your students how time signatures work, what triplets are, and how graphic scores work while you mark a few books, if you want! I take great pride in the quality of my resources and I welcome feedback and enquiries from my colleague-customers the world over.
