**PLEASE NOTE: Only download this if you run ABLETON in your institution ** This unit looks at giving students a solid foundation of Music Technology - beginning with simple data entry all the way up to creating a mix. Students are given a template and their aim is to recreate a track so that it sounds as close as possible to the original. Unlike my other SOWs this is entirely student led in that I’ve created tutorial videos for every aspect they need to get through in order to complete the track. Students find this helpful as they progress at their own pace and can pause/rewind things they aren’t entirely sure of. There is also assessment criteria, HW, progress diary and radar and support guides. I’ve included screenshots of all the videos so you can see how much you are receiving with this resource. Musical material is all written by myself.

I am teaching Music zonally from SEPT 2021 and so have designed a SOW to facilitate Music in a non-specialist room with no access to instruments or technology. This is a sample lesson from that SOW which can be purchased here – In this sample lesson you get; Lesson Plan PowerPoint Student worksheet Video version of lesson to allow for home learning (if further lockdown occurs) Monthly recap quiz

To help out a little, here is a free practical Music Tech SOW for Bandlab which can be set as home learning. I’m currently running this with my KS3 students. It’s aim is to give them a solid foundation of Music Technology - beginning with simple data entry all the way up to creating a mix. I’ve created tutorial videos for every aspect they need to get through in order to complete the track and these are designed for my students so apologies if I reference specifics to our school! Students find this helpful as they progress at their own pace and can pause/rewind things they aren’t entirely sure of. This takes about 6-8 lessons (1 Hr long). In this resource you will get - Supporting videos that talk through each activity that students can use whilst they complete the work. These are exceptionally useful and I have found that lower ability students really respond well to these, although they sometimes prefer I run the session live with them.
