Music Cover Work - Sheet Music Analysis

(0)
Instructions: <br /> Students will need a copy of this worksheet and a piece of sheet music each. I usually get mine off musescore as it is free and easy to search for popular songs. <br /> <br /> The worksheet asks students to identify different elements of the sheet music such as pitch, rhythm, key signature and BPM and is suitable for students learning how to read music. <br /> <br /> In the past I have struggled to find cover work for non specialist teachers in instrument free classrooms that is appropriate to what we are doing in class but this works really well and can be adapted to suit different abilities.
