ZIP File includes - complete SOW, Lessons, Worksheets, HW, Assessment material, Extension activities, scores, indesign files This unit aims to continue building students understanding of FILM MUSIC. However, this looks at the other technical elements of sound, focusing on Foley, SFX, Synthesis etc. Students will recreate the sounds to accompany a horror clip and will learn about how to be creative with the DAW to further support and enhance the mood of the clip. This is a warm-up to the NCFE Music Technology Unit 4 - Sound Creation. The ZIP Document is quite a large file so if there are any issues downloading please leave a message for me in the review section.

MUSIC CLASSROOM DISPLAY

MUSIC CLASSROOM DISPLAY

2 Resources
These resources give you three separate display areas. The aim of these displays is not only to visually look good but to actually be useful as a learning resource during teaching. The harmony display is simple yet highly effective - especially with the younger students who might not understand chords. The structure display is aimed specifically at the KS4 students. It provides them with a high level composition guide and ideas of variation to ensure they access the higher grades at GCSE.
