Music Worksheets General Theory

Music Worksheets Pack of 50 Bundle Key Stage 4

This resource bundle comprises more than 15 hours of activities across 50 Worksheets, designed for Years 10 and 11. The worksheets are available separately in 5 sets of 10, and they all come complete with a detailed answer book, and 4 sets also contain a detailed teacher guide. These resources can be used for a variety of different purposes, including: homework tasks, tests, revision, whole cover lessons, and distance learning. Furthermore, individual questions from worksheets can be used as starter activities. Specifically, the contents and topics of the worksheets in this pack are as follows: **10 x worksheets, answer sheets, and a teacher guide on Scales and Modes**: identifying major, and harmonic and melodic minor scales using fixed-interval semitone patterns (for both the bass and treble clef); adding accidentals to create major, and harmonic and melodic minor scales (in the bass and treble clef); using key signatures to create associated major, and related harmonic and melodic minor scales (in bass and treble clef notation); identifying Dorian, Phrygian, Lydian, Mixolydian, Aeolian, and Locrian modes using fixed-interval semitone patterns (again, in both the bass and treble clef); creating modes on different starting notes using knowledge of fixed-interval semitone patterns (on bass and treble staves). **10 x worksheets and answer sheets on General Music Analysis**: 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. **10 x worksheets, answer sheets, and a teacher guide on Rhythm and Metre**: adding beams in simple and compound metres, focusing particularly on rules regarding crossing the centre of the bar; re-writing 4-bar rhythms using tied notes to correct errors in note grouping and placement in both simple and compound metres; re-writing 4-bar rhythms using the correct rests to correct errors in rest grouping and placement in both simple and compound metres; adding barlines to complex rhythms which include double-dotted notes and rests in both simple and compound time; re-writing short 4-bar rhythms which contain a variety of errors taken from all topics in Worksheets 1 to 8 (beams, tied notes, rests, double-dotted notes and rests). **10 x worksheets, answer sheets, and a teacher guide on Intervals and Melody**: identifying and creating major, minor, perfect, augmented, and diminished intervals (for both the bass and treble clef); identifying non-harmony notes such as passing, neighbour, escape, and anticipation notes (in the bass and treble clef); identifying ornament symbols and realisations; creating realisations of ornaments, including, turns, trills, acciaccaturas, appoggiaturas, mordents, and glissandos; identifying melodic shape, including scalic, conjunct, triadic, and disjunct shapes; identifying the scales used to create short melodies, including major, minor, pentatonic, blues, and whole tone scales, then labelling notes with their corresponding scale degrees; creating sequences and inversions to develop melodies. **10 x worksheets, answer sheets, and a teacher guide on Chords and Keys**: identifying major, minor, augmented, and diminished chords using fixed-interval semitone patterns (for both the bass and treble clef); identifying primary and secondary chords within a stated key (in the bass and treble clef); identifying diatonic and chromatic chords within and outside of a stated key (in bass and treble clef notation); identifying cadences within keys (again, in both the bass and treble clef); creating, labelling, and identifying chords and chord progressions using Roman Numerals, including root, 1st inversion, and 2nd inversion positions (on bass and treble staves); identifying keys, key relationships, and key signatures; identifying, labelling, and creating 7th chords; identifying modulations and pivot chords in short passages of written music.
