A fully resourced 6-lesson SoL for Year 7, based on understanding parallels with different art forms. Students will appraise various paintings and music, looking at parallels, before composing their own original piece based on a painting of their choice. The scheme gives options for using notation or not, as you prefer. It comprises 6 sets of lesson slides, composing and self-evaluation sheets, assessment criteria, stimulus sheet and lesson overview. All the music is chosen and you will just need to add the YouTube links as suggested (about 10 minutes work!). There are printable options for worksheets but it is also easily convertable to a digital format if required. This SoL has worked brilliantly for my Year 7s and really helps to focus on the musical elements and their own musical imaginations.
This one-off worksheet gives a lesson of revision for KS3 students, helping them with notation and listening skills. It has all the questions on it and requires you to be able to play or tap out rhythms to them. Theory covered includes pitch and rhythm notation, as well as adding bar lines and dynamics. There is a help section, so it is suitable for all learners, not just those who are confident with notation. Perfect for when you are not in your usual room!
