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

<p>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.</p>

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.<br /> Activity 1: Design a music page for a website<br /> 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. <br /> <br /> 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?<br /> <br /> The powerpoint is a visual to accompany.

Designed for a cover/fun filler lesson at the end of term. Takes about 30 minutes. <br /><br /> Answers are included on slides. <br /><br /> <br /><br /> - Films <br /><br /> - Secret Santa (celebrities)<br /><br /> - Cities<br /><br /> - Emoji songs<br /><br /> - Christmas song lyrics<br /><br /> 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. <br /> <br /> Allow at least 20 minutes for the performance/presentation part of the lesson.

<p>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.<br /> 3 parts to the question including an aural dictation of the Bass line.</p> <p>Identify key features of the styles<br /> Identify key features of the voice of Ray Charles.<br /> 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.<br /> I hope that it may be of some use.</p>

<p>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.</p>

<p>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.<br /> Designed to be very user friendly - non-specialist.<br /> The three areas cover:<br /> Suitable for a Topic linked to World Music - Whole class. Design a World Music Festival .<br /> Radio Quiz. Small groups of 3,4.<br /> Biography - My life in a nutshell. Paired, unless interviewing/working on a band.</p>

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.

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

<p>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.<br /> Inspiration for songs.<br /> Examples of Historic/Social/Political/ Events<br /> Inspired by people<br /> Then goes into more Black Lives Matter Meaning behind the lyrics of songs.<br /> A very basic backbone of a scheme of work which has helped me through a very dark time in teaching!<br /> Good luck and enjoy adding your own favourites to the Scheme.</p>
