This is a complete unit of work all about Classical Music.
The aim of this unit is to introduce KS3 pupils to Classical Music in a fun and engaging way to give them an appreciation of the genre and knowledge of it to ready them for GCSE.
The unit gives a brief history of Classical Music and gets students playing famous Classical pieces- in particular in the Hall of the Mountain King. Fur Elise, Suprise Symphony and Danse Macabre scores are also included as piano scores.
Students also learn about rhythm and pulse, dynamics, pitch and texture- key words they will need to GCSE.
This scheme can be approached in different ways and is versatile- I have taught this using ICT and music software such as garageband, keyboards or using a range of instruments such as tuned percussion and guitars.
The unit includes a written scheme of work, 7 powerpoints, a video with fun info about Classical Music and piano scores for In the Hall of the Mountain King, Danse Macabre, Fur Elise and Suprise Symphony.

I'll be honest and say I was very disappointed with this. It promised to be a full scheme of work about Classical Music suitable for KS3 (Year 8 according to the thumbnails of the PPTs) with PowerPoints, a video and several piano scores but the PowerPoints are way too basic for even my Year 7 students and the whole package has very little actual content. I expected a lot more for my money and feel like I've wasted £15. I wasn't naive enough to expect a ready made set of lessons I could use without editing, but I had hoped to find a resource I could cherry pick sections from to supplement the resources I've already made. Unfortunately, there was absolutely nothing in this which was even remotely useful.
