WJEC GCSE Music Composing Task for Area of Study 1 - Musical Forms and Devices

This is the first composition task that I give my Year 10’s which is marked/assessed. It is a complete scheme of work which guides the pupils through how to go about composing to incorporate contrast and how to develop a melody and accompaniment. There is a section on chord inversions to help pupils with developing an accompaniment as well as how to include musical devices such as drone/ostinato. There is a also a section on how to develop a melody which covers a range of melodic devices such as sequences, ornamentation and scalic passages etc.
