<p><strong>GCSE MUSIC – KEY MUSICAL ELEMENTS</strong></p>
<p>This 36-page PPT is a great way to kick off the GCSE course, providing an accessible introduction to (or refresher of!) key musical elements:</p>
<ul>
<li>Pulse</li>
<li>Metre (including regular and irregular)</li>
<li>Rhythm (including syncopation, off-beat rhythms, dotted rhythms and triplets)</li>
<li>Chords (including triads and inversions)</li>
<li>Melody-writing</li>
<li>Basic arranging for ensemble</li>
</ul>
<p>It is expected that most students will have encountered many of these at Key Stage 3, and so whilst this PPT can act as an introduction with clear explanations, it can also act as a useful refresher, with the exercises very much aimed at Key Stage 4.</p>
<p>Students will need access to keyboard or guitars, and notation software or manuscript paper.</p>
<p><strong>Update (19.09.24): I have added answers to the PPT, so that it could be used by a non-specialist teacher, or even set as cover / homework.</strong></p>
<p>Please have a look at my other GCSE Music resources.</p>
<p>Thank you!</p>
<p>This is the 3rd 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.</p>
<p>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.<br />
190 school days… 190 songs. (+2 for those with different school schudeules)</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>This resource includes this year’s calendar ONLY.<br />
The previous versions are still available</p>
<p><strong>This year I am asking a fee of £3, 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 £3 is well worth it!</strong></p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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!</p>
<p>This could also be used as a great KS3 Graphics cover lesson.</p>

<p>**A music quiz to round off all the greatest hits from 2023-24. **The quiz is split into 6 rounds with 10 questions in each (answers at the end):</p>
<p>1.Hits of 2024 - listen to the track and guess the title<br />
2. TV Themes - listen to the soundtrack and guess the TV series<br />
3. Live Lounge - listen to the cover song and guess the voice of the artist singing<br />
4. TikTok Trends - watch the muted TikTok and guess the song in the background<br />
5. International Hits - listen to the hit No.1 track and guess the country it comes from<br />
6. Films of 2024 - listen to the soundtrack and guess the film</p>
<p>This resource comes with the PowerPoint (with all videos and audio tracks cut and faded) and a Quiz Sheet for students to fill out their answers. <em>Please note that the PowerPoint will not work on Google Slides, only on Microsoft PowerPoint</em></p>
<p>This quiz should probably last around an hour but you could also split it up across lessons to shorten it or play extracts again to make it longer. Suitable for Years 7-13.</p>
<p>These are 5 worksheet activities for Key Stage 3 classes. Designed to be used by a non specialist teacher or supply teacher.</p>
<p>Please see the preview for the worksheets.</p>
<p>This is a pack of 3 worksheets containing mathematical exercises that use musical symbols alongside numbers. The exercises are:</p>
<p>1. Adding & subtracting (24 questions)<br />
2. Multiplication & division (24 questions)<br />
3. Basic Algebra (12 questions)</p>
<p>The musical symbols covered are semibreves, minims, crotchets and quavers. This pack was designed to be used with Key Stage 2 and 3 students but could be used with other age groups. Answers are included</p>
<p>This is a great way to build cross curricular links between Music and Math.</p>
<p>Types of music, links with Echo 3 pp8-9. Shows use of dass and word order change. Gives examples of musicians linked with genres. Listening extracts use Echo but you could adapt as answers given.</p>
<p>This is a single lesson aimed towards GCSE level students helping them to understand cadences in music. There is a lesson PowerPoint supported by a worksheet for pupils to completed and use as a revision tool. There is also a homework in which pupils write out some cadences in various keys.</p>
<p>UPDATE - I will be sharing a <em>NEW</em> version for 2024-25 in the next week or so (08/08/24)</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>I have replaced the original document with the updated version.<br />
Hopefully the issue is fixed, but I honestly couldn’t find an obvious one**</p>

<p>**This excel document is designed for the Eduqas 9-1 Music GCSE exam. **</p>
<p>This is now UPDATED to reflect the new changes in performance and composition marking.</p>
<p>PLEASE READ THE README SHEET FIRST as this should help with many issues.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>It will also tell you how many marks are needed for the Appraising Paper once the coursework marks are completed.</p>
<p>I have also added in cells for ease of entering marks onto the Eduqas marksheets.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>All sheets are locked but you are free to hide any columns you do not wish.</p>
<p>I hope you understand that the password will not be given out as this has taken a great deal of time to formulate</p>

<p>This is a pre-intermediate (CEFR B1, IELTS 5.0) EFL speaking class about music. Students begin by activating prior knowledge using photographs, after which they discuss their experiences with music. Target language is then introduced using photographs. Students then confirm their comprehension of each genre of music by matching the genre to the instruments commonly used. A further discussion is introduced. Various free conversation activities are then completed to consolidate students’ learning.</p>
Music notes divide time in half, or quarters etc. and using movement avoids the need to understand fractions first. This is one way of introducing notation by working out how many 'beats&' each word takes, e.g.:
Twin-kle, twin-kle, lit-tle star
walk walk walk walk walk walk stride
Bee bee bee bee bee bee worm
cr cr cr cr cr cr m
(cr=crotchet, m=minim)

Literacy - experiencing syllables
