Snowpiercer - a study of Minimalism. Lots of Year 9 pupils might be watching Snowpiercer on Netflix even though it’s a 15+. Knowing the series, the title of the learning scheme may pique their interest!! It is suitable in terms of ability for Years 8 and 9 I think. All of this work can be used for remote learning, tweaked in the way you want (telling them where to upload their work etc) and focuses on: listening and analysing minimalist music performing a minimalist piece (Metamorphosis) on Chrome Music Lab shared piano (in 4s or 2s), Arranging a piece of minimalism on Chrome Music Lab (in collaboration - I have started 2 pieces for them), Composing their own train themes, Fact files and Further listening. No need for any other music platforms apart from Chrome Music Lab. All free as long as pupils have a computer! It does not just focus on Snowpiercer. as there is work in there by other composers, but the title is aimed at pupil engagement in these difficult times.
