Kirsten Parry - Assistant Director of Music

I have been teaching Music for 6 years and many of the resources I use, I made myself. At the moment, I am particularly focusing on making resources for the Development of the Symphony aspect of the Eduqas A Level Music course, as this is an extremely broad area of study which requires a huge amount of wider listening and contextual knowledge.

KS3 Programme Music Scheme of Work

(0)
This is a full 6-7 week scheme of work based upon Programme Music, appropriate for Key Stage 3 (I wrote it for Year 7). Including studies of Smetena’s Ma Vlast, Carnival of the Animals and The Lark Ascending, this is the perfect unit to get pupils into orchestral music. There are fun quizzes, listening exercises, performance opportunities and a composition project based upon images at the end. I hope that you enjoy and find it useful!

Frozen 2 - Show Yourself - HUGE orchestral and choral arrangement!

(0)
This is a mammoth arrangement of Show Yourself from the wonderful Frozen 2. This pack includes the full orchestral score, SATB+piano, and separate parts alongside MP3s of the arrangement with and without voices. I used Musescore 4 to create this arrangement and the sound packs are really good. Perfect for an SATB choir with or without orchestra - it’s all there for you as a backing track or arrangement either way. The arrangement includes the following parts: Solo voice Soprano Alto Tenor Bass Violins Violas Cellos Double bass Piano 1 Piano 2 Guitar Bass guitar Triangle Cymbal Drumkit Bass drum Gong Horn in F Trumpet in Bb Trombone If you email me proof of purchase I will happily send you the Musescore file, which can’t be uploaded onto Tes!

Silent Night - arrangement for Upper Voices and String ensemble!

(0)
This is a beautiful and delicate arrangement of Silent Night for two upper voice parts (SA or SS) and string ensemble. Perfect for a Christmas concert or carol service. The string parts would work for intermediate to advanced players and are Grade 3+ standard. I have also included the MP3 of the full arrangement, as well as the MP3 without voices. If you email me proof of purchase, I will happily send you the Musescore file so that you can tweak for your choir/ensemble! kirstenparry12@gmail.com
