A slideshow I have put together to use as a popular music/culture quiz towards the end of term. Films Lyrics Famous cities Secret Santa (celebs) Emoji songs Carol lyrics

After seeing many social media posts of ‘Ten Albums’ that influenced me, I have made this resource which asks students to choose 6-8 songs which best reflect their personality and why. There is plenty of scope to mix this with a media or art project or an extended written project for Yr 9/ GCSE. I hope you enjoy - I have had good responses during Lockdown.

This was designed as a desk based lesson for Year 7 to recap knowledge of Music and life in the Middle Ages. There is a power point and an accompanying worksheet. Both can be edited to suit your classes needs or used as they are.

Full question for Section B. Mozart K452 & Billie Holiday. Does not include Audio files. Mark schemes can be taken from the Supplementary Booklet provided by OCR.

I have included two activities, both of which require research and so access to computers would be of use, or Library/Topic boxes are required. Activity 1: Design a music page for a website Activity 2: My life in a nutshell - research and interview/hot seat a famous musician.

Students are asked to think about instruments and how they produce a sound. The main task is to design a brand new instruments - a hybrid. What would it look like? How would it sound? How would it be played? What would it be called? The powerpoint is a visual to accompany.

Designed for a cover/fun filler lesson at the end of term. Takes about 30 minutes. Answers are included on slides. - Films - Secret Santa (celebrities) - Cities - Emoji songs - Christmas song lyrics I hope you enjoy this updated version!

Would be suitable for any KS3 group. Easy to adapt to your current unit of work or study. Allow at least 20 minutes for the performance/presentation part of the lesson.

Aimed to provide A level students with a question which stretches their understanding of Jazz, Big Band, Blues. In the style of an OCR Listening Question. 2017, 2018,2019. Related works. 3 parts to the question including an aural dictation of the Bass line. Identify key features of the styles Identify key features of the voice of Ray Charles. The question is is designed to take about 10/15 minutes. Could be set for homework but know that the answers come on Page 1 and the Questions on Page 2. I hope that it may be of some use.

Music Cover Work. 3 different ideas for cover lessons suited for GCSE, KS3 and older KS2. Computer/Research materials are needed. Designed to be used as one off or can be developed into longer projects if necessary for longer cover periods. Designed to be very user friendly - non-specialist. The three areas cover: Suitable for a Topic linked to World Music - Whole class. Design a World Music Festival . Radio Quiz. Small groups of 3,4. Biography - My life in a nutshell. Paired, unless interviewing/working on a band.

A few starting points and some advice. Not by any means 'new ideas' but this has helped my students work independently and gain confidence with the Creative Task paper.

This is a PPT that I have put together for Non practical music lessons. It lasts for a few hours depending on where you want to go with it. Inspiration for songs. Examples of Historic/Social/Political/ Events Inspired by people Then goes into more Black Lives Matter Meaning behind the lyrics of songs. A very basic backbone of a scheme of work which has helped me through a very dark time in teaching! Good luck and enjoy adding your own favourites to the Scheme.
