It is part of a bundle of resources that allows learners to break-down and understand some of the most popular and iconic songs in Pop/Rock.

<p>Finding engaging, relevant written work for a music class can be a challenge! Sometimes we all need no prep, print-and-go quiet activities for our music classroom. Ideal for cover/sub plans, homework or written work, each worksheet in this set of 10 includes a reading passage on a classical composer and ten associated questions. These written activities can be used with a range of classes and a non-specialist teacher.</p> <p><strong>Composers included:</strong><br /> Isaac Albéniz<br /> Ludwig van Beethoven<br /> Hildegard von Bingen<br /> Claude Debussy<br /> Scott Joplin<br /> Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart<br /> Henry Purcell<br /> Clara Schumann<br /> Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky<br /> Antonio Vivaldi</p> <p><strong>Tell me more!</strong><br /> The worksheets can be printed or assigned digitally, with students answering on blank paper/document so the printed sheets can be reused. <strong>Easy printing</strong> in grayscale and on A4 or letter size paper.</p> <p>The reading comprehension passages have been carefully crafted for a 10-12 year old reading level. Care has been taken to use <strong>dyslexia-friendly</strong> font, font size 14+ and 1.5 line spacing to allow easy reading for all students.</p> <p>The questions range from simple fact-finding to more reflective and thought-provoking - see the preview for more details.</p> <p>The worksheets require <strong>no prior knowledge</strong> and no teacher input so they can be used with a wide range of classes and abilities, students can work independently with no technology requirements, and they are ideal to leave for a non-specialist substitute teacher.</p> <p>I keep some printed in my classroom for emergency teacher absences. I have also used it during displaced classes when we have no access to instruments, as make-up work for students opting out of the curriculum or a concert, as homework, and to supplement a unit on Classical composers.</p> <p>I hate when classical music resources only include white male composers, so the range of classical composers have been chosen to include female composers and better reflect your diverse classroom.</p> <p>Each worksheet usually lasts a lesson but if you have more able or older students, or longer periods, you might want to use two per lesson, or add in a <a href="http://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/resource-12714453">classroom game</a> to fill up the end of the lesson!</p>

<p>A workbook to introduce the task, skills and content for Unit 2 - Professional Practice.</p> <p>This is used as a starting point before students move onto completing past papers.</p> <p>It broadly covers the content listed in the specification for this unit.</p> <p>Students will research and fill in gaps in the booklet, and see examples of some of the industry standards and financial considerations listed in the specification.</p> <p>The booklet briefly outlines the exam tasks but these will need further study beyond the scope of this booklet in light of past papers and examiners’ reports.</p> <p>I created this because there was nothing else out there - I hope it is useful.</p>
