This is a display that breaks down a top grade structure for GCSE Music composition. The blue posters give examples of top grade variation techniques that can be employed. Very useful when student’s are stuck with their composition. Resource is in A4 format but I blew them up to A3 for the display on the wall in the picture.

ZIP File includes full SOW, all lesson PowerPoints, student worksheets and assessment materials, pre-written feedback stickers (need to buy labels a4labels.com). This is an introduction unit that aims to give the students basic music vocab around the elements. The outcome is for students to understand that they can breakdown music into the elements and how they can also be used to convey ideas/stories.

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.
