(F1) Aural Lesson Worksheet – ‘Les Toreadors’ From Carmen Suite No.1 Home > Downloads > Secondary > 1st Year > (F1) Aural Lesson Worksheet – ‘Les Toreadors’ From Carmen Suite No.1 This is a worksheet to accompany a listening to the piece ‘Les Toreadors’ from Carmen Suite No.1. This is by the Romantic Composer Georges Bizet. Many students will recognise this piece from being played on the Podiums at Formula One races. So this is a great piece to bring in students prior knowledge. This worksheet includes: A section where students are to carry out independent learning (to find out 3 facts about the composer) A section where students discuss whether they have heard the piece before and what emotion it evokes A section to analyse the music, discussing tempo, dynamics……etc and to discuss features of romantic era music A section for students to draw an image of what comes to mind when they hear the music

This resource involves detailed study notes/class handouts for the following Eras of music: Baroque Romantic Classical Contemporary 20th Century Each resource describes musical features which are distinct to each era (in easy to read bullet point form). Each genre also mentions three composers relevant to each era. With each composer, an example of their music is given, pointing out specific features relevant to each era (Musical Era Sheet preview in cover image) These are great reference points for students to become familiar with earlier genres of music, while learning how to identify features of each era in music pieces they listen to.

This resource is great for students to stick into their music notebooks. They simply fill in every music word they learn that corresponds to each element. e.g in ‘Tempo’ students can write allegro, largo… to build their vocabulary to describe tempo and so on. This is great as once this is in their music notebooks, they have a place to refer to while learning to describe music. @ocmusicfiles on Instagram
