<p>Good to use as a plenary or fun christmas activity. The emoji’s are meant to represent the titles of famous christmas songs. Worksheet and answer sheet attached.</p>

An introduction lesson with small tasks to get to grips with Batman Returns music.

<p>Here are a selection of ice breakers and form time activities for when you have time to fill! These are things I have tried and the students have enjoyed over the years. I hope they help!</p> <p>Some tasks are for getting to know a new form, some are for new term, some are just quizzes and things to pass the time!</p>

Edexcel A-Level Music (2016) Kate Bush, Hounds of Love intro lesson

<p>This is an introduction to Club Dance music - good as a standalone lesson or as the start of a unit to introduce garageband. Also works well to introduce club dance at KS3 in preparation for set works at GCSE level.</p> <p>I’ve used this for year 8, but could be used anywhere in KS3, and even early Ks4.</p> <p>Garageband elements could be adapted for your own software. Youtube links embedded and in the notes on the powerpoint.</p>

<p>A fun end of term quiz that runs itself with some links to musical elements and current popular music - no other resources required.</p> <p>Round 1 - emoji songs<br /> Round 2 - Singers real names<br /> Round 3 - Musical keyword anagram<br /> Round 4 - Musical notation sums<br /> Round 5 - Musical keyword picture clue<br /> Round 6 - celebrity face mask!</p> <p>Optional 6th round needing a powerpoint slide but could print this off as an additional page to the quiz.</p>

<p>I created this resource as I had a weak cohort who didn’t have the confidence to talk about music, even though I knew they could!</p> <p>It goes through some example 3 mark questions based on both Edexcel set works and the Q8 unfamiliar piece. I give them some techniques based on MR D TIGHTS (DR SMITH to some people) as I use this as a prompt to help them answer higher mark questions.</p> <p>There are some whole class discussion activities (I haven’t embedded any youtube clips for the set works as I assume you will have your own and I use the CD), and then an activity at the end for individuals or pairs (this will need access to youtube or tracks downloaded in advance).</p>

<p>End of term quiz 2021 - these are the ‘general’ rounds from my end of term music quiz.</p> <p>Great for use in form/tutor time</p> <ol> <li>Emoji song</li> <li>Singers original name</li> <li>Celebrity face mask</li> </ol>
