This A3 Worksheet is a great resource when you need to set cover for a music lesson but don’t have a non specialist to teach it. For this task students must create the branding for a new band called ‘Hazard’. This involves designing a logo for the band, an album cover, a picture vinyl and even a tour van! This could also be used as a great KS3 Graphics cover lesson. Print in A3

These cover worksheets are ideal for staff absences! All 8 require no prep, little/no technology, and are suitable for non-specialist teachers. The worksheets have been designed with convenience in mind! Print and copy a class set of each and keep them handy with the overview sheets. Pupils answer on paper to save copying new sheets each time! The overview sheets allows you or your substitute to see at-a-glance what classes have completed what sheets, and what tech/pupil knowledge is required for each so they can choose an activity suitable for them and the class. Each worksheet should last a lesson, and there are suggestions of extension activities for fast finishers. They are suitable for a range of ages and abilities as I have used lots of open and general questions. The sheets are dyslexia-friendly with careful choice of layout and fonts. Pupils can work independently with no assistance from the teacher, perfect for non-specialists. The worksheets cover a range of topics. Each has an icon in the corner to help you sort them quickly if they get mixed up. The range included means these can be used for General Music, Choir, Orchestra or a range of other music classes. They are aimed at years 7-9 /S1-3 BGE but are general enough to be used with older or younger classes too. This set of sub sheets includes: A Year of Music A-Z Questions Composer Profile Film Music Moment Plan a Jukebox Musical Plan a Music Festival Song Research Task Stop the Bus I really hope you find this product useful! I have used these successfully with my classes for years and they are so convenient for when I am absent or leaving classes to cover due to exams, concerts, shows and trips. I recommend pairing this resource with my set of 16 music wordsearches!

UPDATE – Due to the large number of complaints about dead links – I have checked every one on 2 separate devices. I have found and have repaired one Dead Link. Please use the Playlist link below as it has every video in sequence – I can only apologize if any problems continue, but I have done everything possible to rectify your concerns. I have replaced the original document with the updated version. Hopefully the issue is fixed, but I honestly couldn’t find an obvious one This is the 2nd Year of the calendar and still at its simplest level the purpose of this calendar is to offer a wide-ranging selection of music: different styles, genres, origins, artists, historical periods and so on. As part of an interesting and robust music curriculum, children need to hear and experience music and musical styles and artists that they may not otherwise have the opportunity to hear. The idea was to create a calendar of a song a day. 190 school days… 190 songs. These songs could be used in whatever way the user thinks best – on entry to the classroom in the morning, as assembly music, as a calming session after breaktimes of lunchtimes, or as an introduction to a music lesson. This resource includes this year’s calendar AND last year’s - 2 years of music - for £2! This year I am asking a nominal fee of £2, for a complete resource that will last you all year. I am proud of the product and feel that for the extensive hours spent creating it £2 is well worth it!

Music Tech Maths - Preparing for Numeracy Questions in Music Technology Edexcel A level. This detailed resource includes: -6 sets of practice questions -6 sets of worked answers In total 66 questions. All with worked answers. **-A 50 slide Powerpoint presentation The 6 sets of 11 practice questions are designed to build students skills and confidence. They are carefully designed to increase confidence with the concepts that students need to understand for the exam. They are all possible without a calculator, just as required in the exam. **The Powerpoint covers the following topics: ** • Synthesis of waves from sine waves • Number of semitones in intervals • Cents in a semitone • Intervals – Frequency relationships • Low Frequency Oscillators • Binary questions • MIDI Questions – Bit depth (velocity etc) • MIDI Questions – Bit depth (pitch bend) • Low Frequency Oscillator Graph • Compressor input / output • Envelope graph • Gate graph • Compressor response time • Microphone Technical Specifications • Beats per minute (milliseconds per beat) • Logarithmic scale – Decibels • Logarithmic scale – EQ • Signal to Noise ratio • Label graphs (axes and more) • Equalisation graph • Cut off Frequency • Amplitude Envelope • Filter Envelope • Label axes – audio waveform • Low Frequency Oscillator Graph • Nyquist’s Theory • The Nyquist Frequency • Compression ratios • Reverb Time • Phase relationship of waves • Sample rate calculations • Note values – dotted notes • Note values – triplets • Octave settings in feet on synths The Powerpoint is as an aide memoire to help students answer the sets of Music Tech numeracy practice questions supplied.

EIGHT PRACTICE DICTATION QUESTIONS These dictation tests were written to provide authentic examples of the 5-mark dictation questions found in Eduqas GCSE Music exams. They cover the four Areas of Study, with a focus on the focus areas announced on 7th February 2022: Romantic Music Vocal Ensembles Film Music Popular music The questions come in groups of four, one for each of the categories above, and each group of four features music by musicians whose names begin with the same letter. In this pack, the musicians’ names begin with the letters A and B. The main feature of all these shorter questions is dictation, to help students practice this type of exam question, worth five marks. I have added a few additional shorter questions, totalling three additional marks, so that every question is worth eight marks, rather than the 12 in the actual exam. As these are shorter questions, to focus on dictation, the extracts are shorter (generally 20–25 seconds long), and there is less time after the question for students to complete their answers. Each listening test is approx. 5’30"-6’00" long. This pack contains one document with questions and answers, and separate documents for just the questions (incl. YouTube links), and just the answers, in case teachers want to set the exercises as homework. The document comes complete with: YouTube links with exact timings for all musical examples Full mark scheme Perfect for printing on double-sided A3 sheets.

Sonority – Instrument Recognition Questions The GCSE Music Specification includes many terms that students need to know, and be able to identify, but which aren’t covered by many of the styles of music studied. Using only music from Popular Music, this revision resource brings together every instrument, voice and ensemble (apart from “basso continuo”, for obvious reasons!) from the sub-menu “Sonority”, ie instruments, voices, and ensembles. In order to be accessible to students who really struggle with such things, there are 50 simple, 1-mark questions, which ask students to identify an instrument, voice type, or ensemble. In addition, there is also a bonus question alongside every simple question, for students who find such things easier – so 100 questions in total! So that the first group of students don’t feel like they’re underachieving, there are two different PDFs: one with just the 50 simple questions, and one with the bonus questions as well, so teachers can choose which to give their students. The questions are in ten sections: Strings Woodwind Brass Percussion Keyboards Rock and Pop Indian Voices Miscellaneous Ensembles The resource comes with a link to FREE audio, running for 1h15’, either as one file or ten separate files: perfect for a revision lesson, or as homework. The extracts cover a wide range of Popular Music, and features music by the likes of Eva Cassidy, Led Zeppelin, Björk, Yes, Primus, Tanita Tikaram, The Meters, Minnie Riperton, Tom Waits, Genesis, Jamiroquai, Badly Drawn Boy, Freak Power, Blood, Sweat & Tears, and The Cure! The bundle includes the full paper and mark scheme, plus two PDFs of questions (50, or 100), and mark scheme separately, in case you want to set it remotely.

**This excel document is designed for the Eduqas 9-1 Music GCSE exam. ** This is now UPDATED to reflect the new changes in performance and composition marking. This file will allow you to add marks for each component of the course on the separate tabs and automatically calculates the grade that the student is on. There is a tab for you to update the grade boundaries each year and a summary sheet for total clarity. It is really clear to see whether the student is either exceeding, on or below their target grade so that interventions can then be made. It will also tell you how many marks are needed for the Appraising Paper once the coursework marks are completed. I have also added in cells for ease of entering marks onto the Eduqas marksheets. Please enable macros and read the front sheet carefully. If the front sheet does not calculate how you thing it should it is usually because there is a missing information. All sheets are locked but you are free to hide any columns you do not wish. I hope you understand that the password will not be given out as this has taken a great deal of time to formulate

This is a 6 week topic aimed at KS1 and KS2 to teach them about different music traditions from around the world. Throughout this topic, pupils will be given the opportunity to explore music from different countries and cultures around the globe, including: West Africa, Australia, Poland, Ireland, Jamaica and Native America. Each week will focus on a different country. The focus of each lesson will be to learn where the country is on the map, listen to an example of traditional music from that that country and learn a song/game/dance that is culturally relevant. Pupils will be given the opportunity to develop their listening and singing skills (Links to curriculum can be found at the bottom). By the end of the topic pupils should have a better understanding of different styles and genres of music and where they came from as well as developing their understanding of the role of music in different cultures and societies.

An excellent presentation for a lesson about French music. Youtube links and information about current French-language singers. Brilliant for end of term, or a cultural lesson on la ‘Francophonie.’ Good for KS3 lower ability groups.

A power point to show ideas of the kind of instruments the Vikings might have played. We began with a class discussion as to how we might know what they played, and how would we know what they sounded like.

This is a quiz on different aspects of music. It can easily be edited if you dont like an answer. Check that the file works on the second question. I set these quizzes each week for all the forms in the school. The forms are vertical so ages vary from 11-16. I am for most groups to get at least 8.

This presentation shows two lessons I have developed to introduce Year 9 to rock music using Green Day's Boulevard of Broken Dreams. It's designed as a small part of a larger topic on popular music but could be extended to give students more time to prepare. It features three differentiated challenges for students to select with different key questions. The final two slides I copy onto A5 cards to support students who want to perform the chords on guitar. This works well with all the many performing resources for Boulevard of Broken Dreams that are already out there!
