Here are lessons 1-5 of my AoSA scheme of work, which complement the long-term plan I have uploaded separately and in this pack. Please do edit and tweak as necessary. Keep an eye on the notes, as I have put links/notes on quite a few of my slides. Enjoy the elf on the shelf memes - they sustain my pupils first thing on a Monday morning! The integrated videos should work on your device/s but if they don’t, the Youtube links are in the notes for each slide. PLEASE NOTE one of the videos I refer to has been taken off Youtube since the creation of these lessons. Please use this alternative video: https://youtu.be/a8jp2FKmDKM?si=KT04MM8TNZBcJ74x Lesson 1 - An introduction to A Level Music Lesson 2 - Theory Baseline test Lesson 3 - Musical periods/genres Lesson 4 - The Mannheim Orchestra/Stamitz Symphony in D Lesson 5 - Musicianship skills - CPE Bach Symphony in Em ** If you find my lessons useful, please keep an eye on my page as I will be selling the rest of my lessons for AoSA in bundles (I have around 60 lessons in total!)** Any questions please email! - kirstenparry12@gmail.com Hope this is helpful!

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!

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

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 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).

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.

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!
