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.

Are you looking to refresh your Instruments of the Orchestra project? This creative trifold brochure template is great for students to research and revise musical instruments! It is also ideal to leave for non-specialist cover/supply/substitute teachers. This printable project is no-prep and suitable for a wide range of students and classes. What is it? Template for making a trifold brochure Space for bullet points, paragraphs and illustrations Blank version included Templates for 23 instruments included High quality, realistic illustrations Letter size and A4 versions Tell me more! I don’t know how many times I’ve got my students to “make a poster on an orchestral instrument” (or write an essay or deliver a PowerPoint presentation… you know the drill!). It was tired, unstructured and didn’t suit the diverse needs and abilities of my students. So, I created these templates to allow students to show the same research and revision skills, but in a new and fresh way! The printable templates give students the structure and scaffolding to complete the task in detail in an aesthetic and creative way. 23 different instruments are included (flute, oboe, clarinet, bassoon, saxophone, trumpet, trombone, French horn, tuba, violin, viola, cello, double bass, harp, marimba, timpani, percussion, drum kit, acoustic guitar, electric guitar, bass guitar, banjo, piano) and a blank version is included too, to allow students to complete the task on any instrument at all, or to use as differentiation for older and more able students. I use this with multiple year groups and just expect more detail from the older ones! The instrument illustrations are high-quality, realistic line drawings. A version with instructions is also included, to show students what to write or draw in each section. I use this project as a research task in class but it is also suitable for homework or to leave with a non-specialist cover teacher. It even works for Band and Orchestra classes - the students can create a brochure on their instrument! This is not just “busy work”, this is a detailed task which will truly see your students actively engaged in creating their brochure, and the end result looks eye-catching and professional. If you have a student unable or unwilling to perform, this could be used as an alternative or make-up task. It is also suitable for classes where practical work is not possible. This project is ready to print and go! I really hope you enjoy using this research task and I am confident your students will benefit from completing it! Don’t forget to leave a review if you like the product, to help other teachers find it.
