GCSE Music INTERVALS and MELODIC SHAPE Whole Topic

The content in this topic will enable students to do the following: create and identify Major, Minor, and Perfect Intervals, and the tritone, by ear and in written format; understand how these intervals create melodic shapes, which they will learn how to identify. All of this will be invaluable for their listening development, and specifically their ability to perform better in melodic dictation tests. The content is essential to all GCSE Music exam courses, AQA, Edexcel, OCR, and Eduqas, and is useful for both RSL and BTEC courses. It should take about 2 hours to teach.

Specifically, the pack includes the following high-quality materials: an original 6-page text-book style handout, with diagrams and annotations, covering the entire content of the topic; a 6-page worksheet containing written activities relating to the creation and identification of all major, minor, and perfect intervals, and the tritone, and a listening activity relating to the aural recognition of these intervals; 10 x 20-second-long MP3 files for the listening activity (also embedded into the PowerPoint); 1 x 34-slide comprehensive and beautifully animated PowerPoint, with detailed teaching guidance notes for every single slide, making delivery of content an absolute breeze; 5-page answer sheet for the activities. Please note that the handout, activity sheet, and answer sheet are all on the same (17-page) PDF document.
