Colour-coded powerpoint (one colour per musical element) for teaching the new Edexcel specification set work: Vivaldi Concerto in Dm, Op.3 No.11 which includes a background to Baroque music to aid the understanding of Context, Style & Genre which is now required. List of recommended Wider Listening resources at the end. Also includes links to useful videos and a glossary. No need to plan lessons, all of the analysis is on this powerpoint for you, mostly taken and adapted from the Edexcel support guides.

Lesson plans and activities which will help with the understanding of the instrumentation, harmony, texture, key words, structure of All Blues by Miles Davis. Second lesson observed by visiting observer who regarded it as a very musically engaging lesson. Both lessons dramatically increased pupil understanding and familiarity. Any feedback welcome, I'm a student teacher and any constructive criticism is most appreciated!
