Chinese Music is a real winner in the classroom - Pentatonic Scales are hugely accessible on keyboard instruments, xylophones and glockenspiels, alike. This project has TOTAL support for teaching and learning. You get a worksheet with 8 tasks on (some short, some in depth, some listening, some composing, some performing AND composing), all with full answers on a PowerPoint presentation making self-marking really easy. Students will be introduced to 4 instruments of the Chinese orchestra, the characteristics of Chinese Melodic writing, including the Pentatonic Scale. They will be taught how to create their own pentatonic scale and how to turn this knowledge into a successful Chinese Music Composition, which has a full checklist of success criteria. Again, the success criteria makes it easy for students to peer assess and for you to quality assure later. For your convenience, a teacher guide is included, detailing a slide-by-slide path through the lesson, linking slides to tasks, etc. Beautifully presented resources - great fun, and lots of learning! This project is perfect for Chinese New Year!
