This SOW is based around performing extracts of film music with Keyboard, Guitar & Drums. The themes used are: Mission Impossible, Halloween & James Bond . Each is differentiated by difficulty and instrument and can also be performed together to encourage ensembles. Resource Contains: Do Now Activities for each lesson with WAGOLL responses Pre Assessment tasks (if required) Scores scaffolded for 3 levels of difficulty for guitar, drums and keyboard WAGOLL videos & Audio examples Support for verbal feedback These lessons can easily be used as both cover, home learning and taught by a specialist as students can follow the information and practical tasks independently using the extensive scaffolding (see preview images) or the teacher can guide students after a pre assessment task. More about these lessons Scaffolding is in place in the form of Red, Amber, Green and a Blue extension pathways, enabling students to learn the skills and knowledge needed to perform a piece of music on keyboard with increasing difficulty. E.g Learning treble clef, bass clef, simpler and more complex rhythms, dynamics terms for expression etc… Students simply click their pathway and go through the task most suited to their ability, moving on when they have completed each task. This shows clear progression as students may start in the Red pathway and move into Amber, Green etc… and this can be seen on their computer screens. The benefits of teaching this way are: Less musically able students get the support they need More musically able students are challenged without wasting their time on already learnt concepts. Information and tasks are at students’ fingertips as opposed to the teacher constantly repeating information. The teacher can facilitate learning and instil independence. Suggested Lesson format: Do now task on student entry Learning outcomes shared Pre Assessment task - teacher to put students in a pathway (or if independent learning, students can do this themselves using the mark scheme) Students click into their pathway and begin the tasks Teacher can group together Red pathway students and teach the information needed before assessing again and allowing them to independently work through tasks. (Or students can work independently to learn the information needed) Learning outcome check through performances (opportunity to see progress) Teacher facilitates learning, checking on Amber and Green students Final learning outcome check through performances. (Opportunity to see progress)
