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 Genre and Form. Specifically, the 7 key-word groupings for these activity sets are: Simple Sectional Forms; Complex Large-Scale Forms; Structural Features (Pop); Structural Features (Classical); Vocal-Based Genres; Instrument-Based Genres; Contemporary Genres. 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 ‘n’ 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 topic builds upon prior knowledge of chords and scales. There is a dual focus in this topic on modes and added and suspended note chords as found in Pop Music, including how they are labelled and inverted. Students are introduced to the Ionian mode which they identify as the Major scale. They are then taken through the Dorian, Phrygian, Lydian, Mixolydian, Aeolian, and Locrian modes, focusing on how each of these modes are simply rearrangements of the Ionian about different notes. Students are taught how rearranging the notes (and therefore chords) of the Ionian change the sound because it changes the tonality of strategic chords – most notably the Primary chords. Activities follow to transpose and identify modes using their unique fixed-interval semitone (half-step) patterns. Students are then introduced to added-note chords, specifically the added 2nd, 4th, and 9th chords – all chords that will be found in any study of The Beatles. Students are taken through how major, minor, augmented, and diminished chords are written in pop music, and how the notes can be worked out using scales and the intervals between the 3 basic notes of the triad. From this point they are shown how to add the 2nd and 4th and how the 2nd becomes a 9th – and plenty of activities follow to consolidate the learning. Following this, suspended-note chords are introduced using similar techniques and, again, plenty of activities follow to consolidate learning – all with detailed answers. The conclusion is to briefly look at Power Chords and inversions of basic pop chords – again, with activities. All of this comes with a 34-slide animated and beautifully-presented PowerPoint, annotated with detailed teaching guidance notes, to make delivery of the topic smooth and efficient – plus a 6-page student information sheet, 4-page activity sheet, and 3-page detailed answer 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.

A set of 3 tiered Music Bingo Games based on various 3-note chords/ triads. 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 chords, presented in a variety of positions. 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 chords on the calling card. Each unique playing card has a total of 9 of the 15 chords 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 on root position major and minor triads found in major and minor keys up to 3 sharps and flats. All chords are presented in the treble clef. The Level 2 game is suitable for slightly more experienced musicians, being based on inverted major and minor triads found in major and minor keys up to 4 sharps and flats. Although chords are still presented in the treble clef, the second set of clues offer more of a challenge than those in Level 1: eg. ‘This chord is the tonic/ subdominant/ dominant of A major’. The Level 3 game is suitable for more confident musicians, being based on inverted major, minor, augmented and diminished triads found in all major and minor keys. Although chords are still presented in the treble clef, the second set of clues offer more of a challenge than those in Level 2: eg. ‘This chord is the supertonic/ submediant/ leading chord of B major’. 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.

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.

**A set of 3 tiered Music Bingo Games based on rhythmic dictation. 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 one-bar rhythms – 45 unique rhythms in total. 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 dictate each of the 15 rhythms on the calling card. Each unique playing card has a total of 9 of the 15 rhythms on it. This set of 3 is specifically designed to facilitate and accommodate progress, primarily in aural dictation, although rhythms can also be read out if students are not experienced in writing down rhythms by ear. Nonetheless, 45 x (short) MP3 files are included in this download to enable the teacher (or even a non-specialist supply teacher) to run this as a listening activity; there are 15 x MP3 files for each game. The Level 1 game is suitable for beginners, being based exclusively on simple minims, crotchets, and quavers. No note pitches are used; rhythms are presented on a single-line percussion staff. The Level 2 game is suitable for slightly more experienced musicians, being based on quavers, and both simple and dotted minims and crotchets. Just like Level 1, no note pitches are used; rhythms are presented on a single-line percussion staff. The Level 3 game is suitable for more confident musicians, being based on semiquavers, and both simple and dotted minims, crotchets, and quavers, including ties. Again, no note pitches are used; rhythms are still presented on a single-line percussion staff. This set is available as part of a 6-pack Bingo Bundle, here: [https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/music-bingo-bundle-12178022].

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.

These cards are such fun, and they are an incredibly good way for students of all abilities to build an understanding of chords, scales, and clefs. The beauty of these cards – which are based on a standard deck of ordinary playing cards – is that the game can be played at any level. If your younger students have a basic knowledge of treble and bass staff notation along with simple major and minor 3-note chords, then they can enjoy this game in full. If your older students have super-advanced knowledge up to and including alto and tenor staff notation along with augmented and Neapolitan 6th chords (and beyond!) then the game can be played at that level instead. After inventing this game, I had my own set of these cards professionally printed and I bring them to dinner parties when I am surrounded by fellow music teachers – it is honestly the best thing any of us play together, which is why I advertise this game as being for both the classroom and the staffroom. The aim of the game is simple: collect the note pitches that you want (or need) to create whichever chords and scales you want; when you have what you need, play your ‘hand’ and earn the number of points on the cards that you play. The game ends when you want it to, and could go on for hours, or just 15 minutes before the end of the lesson (or the start of parent evenings)! Please watch the video to gain further insight into this resource, which I cannot recommend enough to you. The files are all PDF documents: a master card PDF from which you can print all the cards, correctly aligned front to back for convenience (laminate them for longevity); a full explanation of the rules of the game on a second PDF document; finally, a PDF scorecard, including space for up to 70 entries for 5 players for easy tracking of the scores.
