Guide to creating chords based on semitones - useful for Year 8 students and above.\n\nAny feedback would be great, thanks!

A quiz covering the set works by Weelkes, Haydn, Stravinsky, Perkins and Beatles plus some key terms. This is not fully complete as there is an audio section (finding the videos on Youtube) as well as a visual music extract section; I planned to add in a few random bars (in sequence) of a part of each set work for students to recognize. This can be easily edited, added to etc.

Useful for putting landmarks on the vocal set works (Weelkes, Handel, Stravinsky, Beatles and Carl Perkins). Examples include: Cadential 6-4s, first theme appearing, E major chord etc. students can cut these out and stick them on a magnified and/or photocopied score to highlight areas of theoretical interest. Lots more terms that can be added.

This is useful if you make a photocopy of the Grace score. This document is for students to cut out the key terms and stick them in their paper scores, color them in etc. Useful as a review tool or in applying key terms.

A bizarre list of words that describes things that we would normally call a 'thingamajig&' e.g. creating the shape of a bowl with your hands is called a &';gowpen', the moment when you realise what you should&'ve said in a conversation is 'l&';esprit d'escalier' and &'phosphenes&'; are the swirling lights you see when you rub your eyes. There are lots of other words there that students can choose which is the correct definition. A fun form time and PSHE filler!

Can be used to print - cut out - laminate - write names of instruments on back of the instruments to be used as a starter/plenary: identify the instruments, instrument 'snap&', pictionary, hangman etc.

A 'Call My Bluff' of Jeff Buckley key terms - there are three definitions of certain key terms in Grace. Students work out which is the best fit. There are some definitions that students can discount straight away; e.g. EQ is not ET's cousin. Other key terms can be used. Useful for a starter for Grace and could be used for a review aid if the options are harder to discern the difference between.

Useful for students to cut up (in lines) and put lyrics together in order, match up with the Gaelic or even to cut in random shapes to put together.

Put the musical checkpoints of Stravinsky's Symphony of Psalms in order. Make sure to delete the numbers in the far right hand column before handing out to students!

Can be used for students to cut up and put into order. Also useful to group the lyrics in order to see how many verses there are and how short they are.

Teacher and student copy of the performance directions within Stravinsky's 'Symphony of Psalms' - task is for students to find them in the score.

This is a series of checkpoints to break up the Beatles track. Students can cut them out and put them in order or number them according to the order.

Starter/plenary questions based on half of the set works - Indian/African/Celtic and Reich/Schoenberg/Bernstein. Can be used to cut out and stick on card for revision of the set work or a revision of a starting lesson on the set work.

Questions for students about instruments, key terms, descriptions of elements and identifying the djembe ostinato. Teacher answers supplied.\n\nAny feedback would be great, thanks!

Match the key facts about the composer to the composer - e.g. 'Born in 1944&', &';Composed around 80 songs' and &'This piece can be described as an anthem&'; as well as specific features from the pieces - e.g. 'ABC structure&', &';Tierce de Picardie' and &'Two part writing section is homorhythmic&';\n\nFeedback would be great, thanks!

Based on using Sibelius on iMacs. Ignore first page as it fits our current set up at school. Includes functions such as adding comments, adding in second voices, seeing one part at a time and staff size as well as (iMac-related) shortcuts all of which can be done for PC by changing the 'cmd&' button to &';control' button.\n\nAny feedback would be great, thanks!

Presentation of all the Area of Study 2 and 4 pieces and their elements e.g. Koko rhythm, Reich dynamics, Capercaillie background etc.\n\nPress F5 to start the presentation - the slides whizz through - then press 's&' to stop the slides flipping through - students then have x amount of time to write down as much information/talk about the topic etc.

Written quiz of set works - I haven't included answers yet but will do! The students could always inform you, as a teacher, of their answers and prove them...!\n\nFeedback such as other questions would be great!

A list of shortcuts for students to work out what happens when they use them e.g. pressing the letter 'T&', &';K', or &'L&'; etc.\n\nAny other shortcuts or feedback would be great!

A step by step guide of how to compose in the different styles of music. I have used only the following: Minimalism, African, Baroque/Classical/Romantic and Pop. Includes ways to get top marks for structure, developing an idea, exploitation of the medium as well as snippets of example scores. This is based on the previous Edexcel specification. It's a working document so far from finished but feedback would be great, thanks!
