This is a fun introduction to aural skills and melodic and rhythmic dictation. Designed for upper primary/lower secondary but suitable for all ages with some modification.
This resource contains reusable, printable pupil sheets, instructions, TOU and a PowerPoint with 45 questions, including audio and answers. There are 3 rounds of 5 questions in each heading: MELODY, RHYTHM and INTERVALS. Each round has clear instructions and gets progressively harder. This makes this resource ideal for using over weeks of lessons.
Not included - counters (alternatives: dry-wipe markers, buttons, reusable stickers, balls of play-dough or modelling clay - my sensory/tactile learners LOVE this option!)

I originally arranged this piece to be a fun technique exercise for my vocal group to work on after concert season – but it proved to be such a hit we included it in the next show!
This is a short, snappy arrangement of the Scott Joplin favourite, Maple Leaf Rag. What it lacks in length (around 30 seconds!) it more than makes up for with content – your choir will work on their pitch, chromatic intervals, syncopation, dynamic contrast and more! If your choir find the soprano 1 part too difficult, it could be played on an instrument with the choir providing the accompaniment through the other parts. Once the choir knows it well, it can be used as a really fun warm-up exercise too!
This bright, colourful, printable bunting will brighten up any classroom, rehearsal space or even your instrument storage shelves!
