Through a range of listening, writing, composition and practical activities combined into each lesson, students will learn everything they need to know for the ‘fusions’ component of the Edexcel GCSE course.
Each of the five lessons can be taught as a 1-2 hour session, depending on how long you wish to stretch out the practical activities. For example, a practical activity looking at the concept of ‘Ostinato’ could just cover basic polyrhythms but could be extended to include syncopation, cross-rhythms and more!
With worksheets, homework tasks and a final assessment all included, you will not need to produce any additional resources for this topic, apart from ensuring students have access to the anthology scores.
All slides can be edited, and I would encourage any teacher to look carefully through the resources before teaching each lesson ensuring that any changes/differentiations unique to your class have been made.
Please note, this resource pack has been created using the FREE ‘Google Suite for Education’. Once you have downloaded the pack, you will need to UPLOAD it to a Google Drive account and open the files using Slides and Docs.
In this thoroughly rich and exciting skills/knowledge based topic, it will be revealed to students where much of the music we enjoy listening to today has evolved from. This is not a topic about the history of music. It is a topic focussed on learning to use and understand interesting musical devices through the context of a music history timeline.
Students will learn to talk about, write about, compose and perform a wide range of musical devices through a variety of listening, composing and performing activities. This is an ideal topic to be teaching at the beginning of any GCSE Music Course as it will provide students with a solid skill foundation on which to build upon in subsequent branch off topics.
Each of the seven lessons can be taught as a 1-2 hour session, depending on how long you wish to stretch out the practical activities.
