Believe it or not, when asked which piece of pop music the pupils in my previous school wanted me to arrange for the school concert, THIS is what they requested. It was an AWESOME performance. Flexi-band type of arrangement, specifically for a Secondary School Orchestra. Easier parts so that everyone can play it well! Enjoy!!

A basic class arrangement I made of Beethoven’s 5th in order to help my students recognise the thematic material introduced in the Exposition. Includes a basic lesson outline.

A Class arrangement of Tom Jones’ Delilah and a PowerPoint on Welsh Pop Music

Three listening activities as well as all 10 MP3 files. Presentation Scheme of Work Document (basic lesson by lesson breakdown)
