This would work for Year 7 or Year 8. Comprehensive set of 6 lessons to cater for both beginners and experienced players. Scaffolded activities, listening activities, key performance indicators, performance targets and success criteria. Includes PowerPoints, written scheme of work and student booklet. The booklet contains vocal and piano warm ups, several short pieces to learn and activities which match the PowerPoint slides. All documents editable.

I hope people find this useful! I created it on Onedrive as a live document so my pupils fill boxes in for homework (or they do it live in class and I have it up on the board so we can see what each other is doing). Sometimes I tell them to focus on one wider listening work, i.e. Eroica, and sometimes I tell them to focus on one essay topic, i.e. harmony/tonality. It then becomes a really cool, live, revision resource. There are a lot of wider listening works on there, we dip in and out of some and focus more on others, but you can tweak/add/delete as necessary. Useful for revising specific essay topics! Also includes links to score PDFs, date of composition, symphony nicknames and size of the orchestra for each work.

I hope people find this useful! I created it on onedrive as a live document so my pupils fill boxes in for homework (or they do it live in class and I have it up on the board so we can see what each other is doing). Sometimes I tell them to focus on one set work, i.e. the Beethoven, and sometimes I tell them to focus on one element of music, i.e. structure. It then becomes a really cool, live, revision resource. I colour code my elements of music to Dr T Smitth, but edit and adapt as you wish!

This is a complex and relatively challenging SATB+Piano work set to the text O Magnum Mysterium. It has beautifully rich harmonies and is perfect for a senior school choir or chamber choir. PDF and MP3 included!

This is a lovely, intermediate level arrangement of The Angel Gabriel, a traditional carol, for a string quartet. Included are the PDFs (full score plus separate parts) and an MP3.

This is a super fun arrangement I created, of 4 different well-known Christmas songs, for Big Band and vocalists. Songs and instruments are listed below. A standard performance lasts for around 5m45s. It is so much fun to perform and really shows a range of styles. Perfect for an intermediate-advanced school Jazz Band or Big Band. Songs: Have yourself a merry little Christmas Baby it’s cold outside Rockin’ around the Christmas tree Jingle Bell Rock Parts included: Alto sax 1 Alto sax 2 Tenor sax 1 Tenor sax 2 Bari sax Trumpet 1 Trumpet 2 Trumpet 3 Trumpet 4 Trombone 1 Trombone 2 Trombone 3 Voice x2 (but can be split into 3/4 parts) Piano Bass Drums Guitar chords over the vocal line If you email me proof of purchase, I will gladly send you the Musescore file!

This is the perfect arrangement for an intermediate string group at Christmastime! I arranged it for my Grades 2-3 violins, violas and cellos and they loved it. Hope you enjoy!

This is a clear, eye-catching and informative display based on AoSA for Eduqas A Level Music. My students found it super helpful to have up on the classroom wall!

This is a lovely arrangement of the traditional Irish song Danny Boy. It works really well for an upper voice choir and has two choral lines, accompanied by piano and string ensemble. The string parts are suitable for players Grade 4 and above. If you email me proof of purchase, I would be delighted to send you the Musescore file alongside the MP3s and PDFs in this pack, so that you can tweak if necessary! Included are PDFs and MP3s of every part as well as the full score! kirstenparry12@gmail.com

This is a display perfect for a board in a music department, as it contains several roles in the music industry that pupils may not have thought even existed!

This is a full 6-7 week scheme of work based upon Programme Music, appropriate for Key Stage 3 (I wrote it for Year 7). Including studies of Smetena’s Ma Vlast, Carnival of the Animals and The Lark Ascending, this is the perfect unit to get pupils into orchestral music. There are fun quizzes, listening exercises, performance opportunities and a composition project based upon images at the end. I hope that you enjoy and find it useful!

This is a mammoth arrangement of Show Yourself from the wonderful Frozen 2. This pack includes the full orchestral score, SATB+piano, and separate parts alongside MP3s of the arrangement with and without voices. I used Musescore 4 to create this arrangement and the sound packs are really good. Perfect for an SATB choir with or without orchestra - it’s all there for you as a backing track or arrangement either way. The arrangement includes the following parts: Solo voice Soprano Alto Tenor Bass Violins Violas Cellos Double bass Piano 1 Piano 2 Guitar Bass guitar Triangle Cymbal Drumkit Bass drum Gong Horn in F Trumpet in Bb Trombone If you email me proof of purchase I will happily send you the Musescore file, which can’t be uploaded onto Tes!

This is a super bright, fun and engaging Ukulele display, perfect for a Music classroom!

This is a beautiful and delicate arrangement of Silent Night for two upper voice parts (SA or SS) and string ensemble. Perfect for a Christmas concert or carol service. The string parts would work for intermediate to advanced players and are Grade 3+ standard. I have also included the MP3 of the full arrangement, as well as the MP3 without voices. If you email me proof of purchase, I will happily send you the Musescore file so that you can tweak for your choir/ensemble! kirstenparry12@gmail.com

This resource is perfect for the first half term of GCSE Music, whether that be the beginning of Year 9, end of Year 9 or the beginning of Year 10 (depending on when your KS4 begins!) Pupils will be taken on a journey from Baroque to 20th Century, exploring wider listening, crucial key terms, theoretical concepts, dictation, context and meaning along the way. This is the perfect introduction to GCSE Music for Edexcel, as all key terms learnt link to the GCSE set works. This package includes a Scheme of Work on a word document, with lesson objectives, activities and homeworks, a full set of 10 PowerPoints with integrated clips (and memes!) to make the delivered information as engaging as possible. There is also a short initial theory test and a longer end of term assessment included, which is helpful for a data snapshot of where your pupils are at. All files are editable, and there are 11-12 lessons’ worth of content there, which fits nicely into a half term (with composition and performance alongside).

I can’t confirm its success just yet as I’m only halfway through teaching it! But hopefully it helps others who are new to teaching the Development of the Symphony. Each lesson on the plan has a PowerPoint that I have made - I will upload the first few free for a taster, then will likely sell in bundles as they took me forever and I made them from scratch! I’ve cut a few lessons and will likely cut a few more (we have just finished the Mendelssohn so heading into the romantic symphonies next week). I’m a bit maximalist when it comes to planning, then cut down as I go. I get 5x55 mins a fortnight with my class, and my colleague has the same - she covers AoSC and composition. AoSE happens in Y13 for us, along with finishing AoSA and the brief comps. Hope this plan is helpful!
