This substantially resourced pack builds upon prior knowledge of intervals, major and minor scales, including the creation of triads, through a detailed study of the Pentatonic Scale and its modes, alongside the two most common Hexatonic Scales, the Whole Tone Scale and the Blues Scale. It is appropriate for all GCSE Music exam boards, AQA, Edexcel, OCR, and Eduqas, and should take about 2 hours to teach. It may also be used as a bridging topic for A Level Music. 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 5-page worksheet containing written activities relating to the creation of the scales and their triads, and a listening activity relating to the recognition of Blues Scale, Pentatonic, and Whole Tone melodies; 10 x 30-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; 4-page answer sheet for the activities. Please note that the handout, activity sheet, and answer sheet are all on the same (15-page) PDF document. The content in this topic will enable students to create Pentatonic, Blues, and Whole Tone Scales and triads, understand how the Pentatonic Scale is placed into modes to change its sound, and they will gain vital experience in hearing and distinguishing between melodies made from these scales. It will be invaluable for their composition work, increasing the scope of their imaginations with regard to tonality. I take great care to ensure my resources are of the highest quality – both in content and in presentation – and I wholeheartedly recommend them to both you and your students. I welcome feedback and enquiries from my colleague-customers all over the world, and I can be contacted directly at rainynightmusic@hotmail.com. I would be delighted to hear from you, and I thank you for considering this resource for your classroom.

Perfect for Year 7, this project takes students on an exciting journey which begins with the introduction of the Musical Alphabet. From here, they learn how to construct melodies using ordinary words. They are then introduced to simple 3-note chords - again using only the letters of the Musical Alphabet (no sharp or flat symbols, just letters). Students then learn how to match their words with chords, which becomes the basis of a melody with an accompaniment. The next part of the journey is to learn 4 of the basic music symbols and their numeric values in terms of beats (semibreve=4, minim=2, crotchet=1, quaver=1/2). Students group the symbols in a variety of ways so that the combined value is always 4, which creates rhythms. Finally, students are shown how to allocate these rhythms to the words that they have already matched with chords. This creates a rhythmic melody with an accompaniment. The project may end with students (in pairs or small groups) performing their compositions at the piano - a printable ‘note ruler’ is included with the download pack, which fits perfectly over most standard piano keys so that students know which notes to play. They may or may not perform the rhythms correctly, but the composing process, at a basic level, will have been properly learned. I take great pride in the high quality of resources, the outstanding value and excellent customer service that customers benefit from. I believe that my students deserve the very best and I will not sell any resources that I would not use for my own students. I hope that you decide to purchase from my store, and remember: please do get in touch if you have any questions at all. Contact Steve at rainynightmusic@hotmail.com

In this download pack, you get a structured 4-page worksheet with 8 separate activities -only one of which is teacher-marked, the rest is student-marked via the Answer Slides included on the 18-slide PowerPoint Presentation, which takes you through the entire structure of the project. If you have 100 minute lessons, you will be just shy of 2 full lessons here - if you have 60-minute lessons, you’ll have 3 full lessons including the assessment and DIT sheet. This unit teaches both Bass and Treble Clef notation (not including rests). The worksheet includes both practical and theory tasks - a right-hand study at keyboard of Ode to Joy, and a left-hand study of the Oompa Loompa Song, for Treble and Bass clef respectively. This allows the theoretical learning to sink in through practical studies. For students who are low ability or who have special needs, there is a full Low- Ability Access pack with alternative worksheet, answers, and a graphic score of Ode to Joy and Oompa Loompa using a system of colourful, cute, and cool graphics of animals courtesy of Pretty Grafik Designs, Montreal, Canada (check them out on Etsy). This access pack is very easy to understand, and all you will need to do is hand it to your TA. No fuss, explanations, or anything. It’s done for you. Still need persuading? Okay - there is a full 30-minutes of video tutorial provided by me - I will actually teach your class the skills in a purpose-made video using Camtasia software, which enables absolute clarity through various tools that you simply can’t repeat in a live setting. While I’m doing this, you can sit at the back of the room, keep an eye on the students and catch up with your marking. I use my video lessons in my own classroom for this reason - and because they fit the worksheets perfectly, there’s no confusion. There is an extension task for the gifted students - a 4-part arrangement of the Oompa Loompa song courtesy of myself in Sibelius Score form (all versions from 4-7.5 including Student and First versions) - and free note rulers (standard and animal ones for the lower-ability) on A3 PDFs that you simply need to print, laminate, and guillotine to keep your keyboards free from board markers, and facilitate instant access to playing music. Finally (yes, there’s more!) you have a 30-mark assessment designed to test the key learning of this project, all complete with an answer sheet and student reflection/ DIT sheet.

This resource is suitable for AS and A Level Music and Grade 5 ABRSM Theory. This is a whole topic worth of content and activities, fully supported by a 13-slide PowerPoint and an 11-page PDF document containing: 3 pages of methodology and explanation; 1 full walking-talking example using a clear step-by-step process (including answers); 3 pages of sample questions; 3 pages of sample answers making self-marking easy. The questions are phrased in 3 different ways, reflecting the possible ways in which exam questions will be asked. This resource pack could be used for either revision or content delivery. By the end of the lesson, students should be equipped with the skills, techniques, and experience to handle written interval questions involving all major, minor, diminished, augmented and compound intervals in each of the 4 main clefs: Treble, Bass, Alto, and Tenor. I really hope that you will enjoy my resources and find them useful. I pride myself on the quality of the resources that I publish, and I welcome feedback and enquiries from all of my colleague-customers across the world.

The resources included in this download reflect the exceptional value for money and quality that you rightly expect when purchasing from Rainy Night Music. Indonesian Music is a fascinating topic for KS 3 students to explore. It offers so much in terms of history and culture, and a unique style of music which is very accessible to wide-ranging ability groups. This project focuses on Gamelan and specifically its performance and composition. The project balances cultural and historical contexts with musical characteristics of the Gamelan genre, and there is plenty of time allowed for practical work with you, the teacher, in charge of the precise timings. The project is divided into 2 ‘lessons’, which fit broadly into 2 x 100-minute lessons, but also very well into 3 action-packed hour-long lessons… or indeed 4 hour-long lessons with more time allowed for practical work through the vast resources included in this pack. I have personally taught this project in both of these formats. The content works best with most Year 8 groups, but can also work well with able Year 7 groups. The video tutorials take the pressure off you, the teacher, but also provide you with a step-by-step guide if you are unfamiliar with Gamelan yourself. In this pack you will get an overview/ teaching guide plus each of the following: Lesson 1 worksheet and Lesson 2 worksheet; Lesson 1 PowerPoint and Lesson 2 PowerPoint; Sibelius score of Lesson 1 Task 4 (in 10 Sibelius versions from Sibelius 4 up to Sibelius 7.5); Sibelius score of Lesson 2 Task 1 Blank Template (in 10 Sibelius versions from Sibelius 4 up to Sibelius 7.5); Video Support in MP4 format for Lesson 1 and for Lesson 2; PDF of word search Starter Activity and PDF of crossword Starter Activity; MP3 audio for each of the 4 starter melodies in Lesson 2; PDF of Section B (Advanced) for Lesson 1 Task 4 and PDF of full version with repeats; MP3 audio for Section A, Section B, and a full version of the Gamelan Ternary Piece used for Lesson 1 Task 4. I am very proud of the quality of the resources that I publish, and I hope that you and your students will enjoy them as much as I and my students do. I welcome feedback and enquiries from my colleague-customers all over the world, and I can be contacted directly at rainynightmusic@hotmail.com. I would be delighted to hear from you.

This pack is one of six in a series from Rainy Night Music which covers over 350 key words, terms, and instruments listed as Language for Learning on all new UK GCSE Music syllabuses. There is more than a 90% crossover of key terminology between WJEC/ Eduqas, AQA, Edexcel and OCR, and this series covers them all. This particular pack deals with Harmony and Tonality. Specifically, the 7 key-word groupings for these activity sets are: Names of Chords; Types of Chords; Chord Progressions; Chord Arrangements; Standard Tonalities; Alternative Tonalities; Tonal Features. For each topic stated, there are 8 key words (56 in total) which may form the basis of a theory and listening lesson, but will certainly link the words in a related and structured way - in much the same way MFL vocabulary is taught. Each topic has a word search designed to pre-teach the key words, a flash card template (for students to complete through independent research for homework) to pre-teach the definitions, a mix and match activity to provide the actual definitions. Ideally, the actual theory and lesson will follow this to allow consolidation, and then the crossword activity serves as the revision activity. ALL activities have FULL answers provided with this download. However, there is a great deal of flexibility in how you use and get the most out of these activities – my personal recommendation would be to re-use the mix ‘n’ match activity to create an additional resource (where the terms are not separated from one another), and use it for Quiz-Quiz-Trade starters and plenaries in Year 11. I really hope that you will enjoy my resources and find them useful.

This lesson focuses primarily on the Circle of Fifths, and this includes both the major and minor keys up to and including 4 sharps and flats. Students are taken through the information with both an information sheet, and a step-by-step PowerPoint. 14 x written/ notation tasks develop students’ knowledge of how keys are organised. This is not just a lesson in ‘what’ the Circle of 5ths is, students are taught how to create the circle from scratch. This reinforces understanding, and it also incorporates revision of major and minor scales, with a focus on how major scales create accidentals which become key signatures for major and relative minor keys. Students also discover relationships between keys on the Circle of 5ths as a foundation to appropriate/ most common modulations: Dominant keys to the right/ Subdominant to the left/ Relative Major or Minor inwards or outwards on the rings. There are 10 x listening questions to conclude the lesson, in which students’ ability to distinguish between major and minor tonalities is tested. By the end of the lesson students will have a secure knowledge of the topic, and you – the teacher – will have more than enough scope to set additional activities as homework should you wish to, and suggestions are included in the teacher notes on the PowerPoint. All of this comes with a 28-slide animated and beautifully-presented PowerPoint, annotated with detailed teaching guidance notes, to make delivery of the lesson smooth and efficient – plus a 4-page student information sheet, 4-page activity sheet and 4-page detailed answers sheet. With regards to the listening questions, MP3s are provided (and they are always my own compositions), and you may well want to insert the audios into the slide rather than use media player.

This lesson focuses on Major and Minor Scales, and that includes both the Harmonic and Melodic Minor scales. Students are taken through the information with both an information sheet, and a step-by-step PowerPoint. 11 x written/ notation tasks develop students’ ability to create major and minor scales using fixed-interval patterns, use these scales to create basic triads, and observe the differences between the harmony in melodic minor scales and harmonic minor scales. There are 10 x listening questions to conclude the lesson, in which students’ ability to distinguish between major and minor scales is tested, and those of higher abilities may distinguish between the harmonic and melodic minor scales. By the end of the lesson students will have a secure knowledge of the topic, and you – the teacher – will have more than enough scope to set additional activities as homework should you wish to. All of this comes with a 33-slide animated and beautifully-presented PowerPoint, annotated with detailed teaching guidance notes, to make delivery of the lesson smooth and efficient – plus a 4-page student information sheet, 4-page activity sheet and 4-page detailed answers sheet. With regards to the listening questions, MP3s are provided (and they are always my own compositions), and you may well want to insert the audios into the slide rather than use media player.

There is at least 2 hours of resources, here - 1 or 2 lesson’s worth depending on how long your lessons are. This project works best when you - the teacher - is in the classroom, but it can be used as a cover lesson provided computer access is available. This download included two 2-page ‘quizes’ with two 2-page detailed answers, and a PowerPoint presentation with Objectives, Outcomes, and task explanations (with approximate timings). The way that I teach this lesson is to briefly model independent learning: how to ask Google the ‘right’ question in a number of different ways in order to find out the answer to a question; how to persist and be prepared to read information that may be good, but ultimately not answer the question you asked. It teaches students ‘how’ to learn using the internet as a research tool - you are there to guide their choices, differentiating between good and bad information. The beauty of this lesson/ lessons is that students always end up learning loads of things that you didn’t set out to teach them - but you have a comprehensive list of answers including all the key information that they need to know. The best way to do this, I find, is to have two or three separate teams competing to gain the highest scores on the quizes - I usually reward winners with chocolate and House Points for extra motivation! Student feedback on this is always positive - especially the story about Haydn’s head, which I am reliably informed is both “gross” and “funny” - certainly memorable! I hope you enjoy the resources and thank you for purchasing the Rainy Night Music brand.

**A set of 3 tiered Music Bingo Games based on musical intervals. Level 1 would be suitable for beginners to reading music; Level 2 would be suitable for slightly more experienced readers; Level 3 for more confident students. ** Each of the 3 Bingo Games in this set has 15 different intervals, presented harmonically (stacked), rather than melodically (linear). Each game has 12 unique playing cards, which can very realistically be doubled up for a class of 24 students. Each game also has a master calling card containing 2 clues (one easier, one more difficult) to describe each of the 15 intervals on the calling card. Each unique playing card has a total of 9 of the 15 intervals on it. This set of 3 is specifically designed to facilitate and accommodate progress, working really well as both a fun revision tool and a general learning tool. The Level 1 game is suitable for beginners, being based primarily on major, minor, and perfect intervals with no accidentals at all. The intervals are all presented in the treble clef. The Level 2 game is suitable for slightly more experienced musicians, being based primarily on major, minor, and perfect intervals using accidentals found in major and minor keys up to 4 sharps and flats. The intervals are presented in treble clef. The Level 3 game is suitable for more confident musicians, being based primarily on augmented and diminished unisons, octaves, 4ths and 5ths – simple and compound – and major and minor 9ths and 10ths. Additionally, these cards are also presented in the bass clef, and have more accidentals than those in Level 2. This set is available as part of a 6-pack Bingo Bundle, here: [https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/music-bingo-bundle-12178022]. I really hope that you will enjoy my resources and find them useful.

Ideal for Year 7 to 9, and an excellent choice to both celebrate and learn about Greek Music, this project is fully resourced with enough activities for up to 3 hours of fun-packed, exciting, quality learning. This project deals first with styles of Greek Music, and then moves onto Greek instruments. Listening and written tasks are incorporated, here. There is a focus on the characteristics of the Hasapiko style, including use of the Ionian mode with added chromatic notes, melody in 6ths, dotted rhythms, off-beat chords, and a couple of written notation activities further consolidate this learning. The main task follows, which is a 4-part Hasapiko Dance composed by myself: Bass; Chords (notated for both keyboard and guitar); Melody Line; Harmony Line. Students are taken through the learning of each part, and then set to task on a group performance. Extension tasks explore the addition of articulation and tempo changes, and also a composition task, using their knowledge of the characteristics of the style to write a short introduction to the main task. Finally, students assess themselves against the 10-point success criteria on the PowerPoint and evaluate their achievement. In this download pack, you will receive: 1 x Starter Word Search introducing key words associated with Greek Music (Literacy) 1 x 14-page worksheet with 10 separate tasks covering the whole range of listening, theory, and performing skills, plus contextual and historical knowledge of Greece. 1 x 4-minute annotated video demonstrating the 4 main styles of Greek Music with plenty of incidental learning embedded. 1 x 24-Slide PowerPoint which is beautifully presented and animated with Objectives, every single task ‘chunked’ for easy content delivery, Answers, extension tasks, and much more, including full instructions on each slide, constituting a comprehensive project plan. 1 x Main task focusing on group performance in the form of a Greek Hasapiko Dance (composed by myself) 23 x MP3 files modelling the individual parts, the main task and extension tasks. 1 x ‘Pythagorean Diet’ fact sheet, focusing on Pythagoras’ vegetarian lifestyle, considering modern issues surrounding the topic. (PSHCE) 1 x Crossword for homework to recap key words relating to Greek Music (Numeracy) I really hope that you will enjoy my resources and find them useful.

This resource comprises 10 worksheets designed to secure, revise, and test knowledge of Scales and Modes. Principally aimed at Year 10 and 11 GCSE students, each worksheet should take around 25 minutes to complete, and a full set of detailed, annotated answers are provided, making them perfect for a variety of uses – particularly distance learning and cover lessons led by teachers with limited specialist subject knowledge. They can also be used as tests in class, for homework tasks, or just general revision/ practice for working with unfamiliar short extracts of written music – and with 10 x 25-minute worksheets to tackle, there will be plenty for your students to do! This resource is also appropriate for bridging at A Level or as further practice for Grade 4-5 ABRSM Theory students in respect of the general exercises. Specifically, each worksheet in this pack incorporates a short 8 to 16 bar piano composition, which is an original piece composed by myself – so there is a guarantee that your students will have never seen this music before! There are 20 questions on each piece, covering a wide variety of topics appropriate to the music. Topics include, but are not limited to: rhythmic, harmonic, and melodic devices; metre and tempo; cadence, chord, and interval recognition; foreign terms (up to approximately Grade 5 ABRSM Theory Level); structural features such as repeats and time bars… and there is so much more, too! In total, there are 200 questions – all with comprehensive answers – and each worksheet gets progressively more challenging. Furthermore, since I have deliberately crafted each piece around a programmatic title, teachers can easily set a ‘master/ extension’ question for each piece (marking it at their own discretion), “How does the music relate to the title”? There will always be plenty for students to say, and it will allow those who are able to, to produce higher-level commentaries after answering the set questions. It’s a hidden gem within the resource, and it could add a further 15 – 20 minutes of mileage to every single worksheet. I take great care to ensure my resources are of the highest quality – both in content and in presentation – and I wholeheartedly recommend them to both you and your students. I welcome feedback and enquiries from my colleague-customers all over the world, and I can be contacted directly at rainynightmusic@hotmail.com.

This resource is suitable for AS and A Level Music and Grade 4 and 5 ABRSM Theory. This is a whole topic in terms of content and activities. It is fully supported by a 25-slide PowerPoint and 2 worksheets, all with detailed answers. This resource pack could be used for either revision or content delivery. By the end of worksheet 1, students will be confident in transcribing music from one clef to another so that it sounds at the same pitch. The clefs covered are: Treble; Alto; Tenor; Bass. By the end of the topic, students should be equipped with the skills, techniques, and experience to transpose to concert pitch from written pitch (and vice-versa) for instruments in C that transpose at the octave, and for all transposing instruments in Bb, A, G, F, and Eb. There are more than 30 exercises – all with detailed answers on a PDF document, and as part of a handy PowerPoint presentation (which includes Objectives, differentiated Outcomes) making delivery of the content a breeze. Not only are transposition skills invaluable for potential exam questions, they are essential to correctly analysing orchestral music as part of any high level music course. Students also benefit from these skills in the area of composition: developing knowledge of instruments and how they work. I really hope that you will enjoy my resources and find them useful.

This lesson is intended as a first step towards creating proper modulations using pivot chords as part of a Cycle of Fifths progression. The topic builds upon prior knowledge of the Circle of Fifths, Major and Minor Scales, and creating triads. Students are taken through the information with both an information sheet, and a step-by-step PowerPoint that really goes the extra mile. 24 x written/ notation tasks guide students through the following concepts: deriving a House of Keys (for Modulation options) from the Circle of Fifths; how to organise diatonic chords into a Cycle of Fifths progression; how to find common chords between ‘House of Key’ keys; how to use a common chord as a Pivot chord within a Cycle of Fifths progression in the target key. This is a weighty, GCSE level topic, and it will open the door to students achieving higher-level composition grades through an understanding of how to move around the Circle of Fifths. Additionally, there are 10 x listening questions to conclude the lesson, in which students’ ability to distinguish between modulations to Relative Major, Relative Minor, and Dominant keys are tested. By the end of the lesson students will have a secure knowledge of the topic, and you – the teacher – will have more than enough scope to set additional activities as homework should you wish to. All of this comes with a 29-slide animated and beautifully-presented PowerPoint, annotated with detailed teaching guidance notes, to make delivery of the lesson smooth and efficient – plus a 4-page student information sheet, 4-page activity sheet and 4-page detailed answers sheet. With regards to the listening questions, MP3s are provided (and they are always my own compositions), and you may well want to insert the audios into the slide rather than use media player.

This topic builds upon prior knowledge of modulation to related keys via a pivot chord within Cycle of 5ths Progressions. The specific focus of this topic is the Dominant 7th Chord, and it comprises a full study on how a V7 chord may be applied in a variety of situations. Students are first shown how to create a 7th chord on any degree of a major or minor scale, and the dominant 7th chord is highlighted as important. The first activity requires students to apply the V7 chord to create Perfect Cadences in a variety of keys up to 4 sharps and flats, which also serves as excellent revision of key signatures and scales. The second activity examines the V7 chord as a substitute for the Leading chord in a cycle of 5ths progression, requiring students to follow a Roman Numerals chord progression to craft modulations between adjacent minor keys on the Circle of Fifths – providing excellent revision of chord positions and triad creation. The third activity examines how a pivot chord need not be identical, but instead a ‘strong best fit’, requiring students to craft more complex modulations. The final activity is a listening one in which students’ ability to distinguish between modulations to the dominant and subdominant in both major and minor keys is tested. By the end of the topic your students will have arrived at the border of Advanced Level study in Harmony and Tonality, and it will have stretched your most able students to achieve the very highest grades in composition through outstanding modulations. All of this comes with a 26-slide animated and beautifully-presented PowerPoint, annotated with detailed teaching guidance notes, to make delivery of the lesson smooth and efficient – plus a 5-page student information sheet, 4-page activity sheet and 3-page detailed answers sheet. With regards to the listening questions, MP3s are provided (and they are always my own compositions), and you may well want to insert the audios into the slide rather than use media player.
