Musicals (KS3)

(0)
This is a scheme of work I designed for year 8 students to look into musicals. Due to the nature of the scheme of work (provided) I can only provide the first lessons PowerPoint. I am simultaneously teaching two separate musicals, depending on the overall ability of the class, both of which are included in this purchase. Students really enjoy this unit and are able to fully immerse in the topic.

GCSE: AOS3 Blues Music 1920-1950 (AQA)

GCSE: AOS3 Blues Music 1920-1950 (AQA)

(0)
This is the powerpoint and all music resources I’ve used to teach Blues music of 1920-1950 to my GCSE students. The focus is on the vocabulary and the students listening skills, although there is some background information. I took 2 weeks to teach this with the majority of time dedicated to the students learning one of the four blues songs (also included). After performing, the rest of the class discussed the key blues features in each song. I have also added a class test to summarize the learning over the lessons.

This scheme of work is currently being taught to year 9 students although I have taught it with year 8 at a different school. The scheme of work aims to explore different genres of music including different musical devices before the main project which involves the sound being removed from four different clips (of each genre) and asking students in groups to come up with the music to accompany it. The seventh lesson is focused on assessment and evaluation. The embedded videos link to my private YouTube channel and are not able to be found without the link.
