Star Wars Keyboard Performance
This resource is designed for KS3 students who have access to a piano or keyboard and would like to learn to play two Star Wars leitmotifs - Luke’s Theme and Rey’s Theme. The resource includes a starter activity, a plenary knowledge quiz, self-reflection questions, success criteria, sheet music (with letters) for both themes, sound clips from each of the themes, and short examples of the themes on a keyboard to demonstrate correct hand placement.
Starter Activity:
The starter activity is a listening activity where students will listen to a short clip of Luke’s Theme and answer questions about the music, including tempo, tonality and instrumentation. This activity will help students engage with the music and prepare them for the rest of the lesson.
Plenary Knowledge Quiz:
The plenary is a knowledge quiz that recaps important musical concepts and terminology covered during the lesson. This quiz will help students remember and reinforce what they have learned.
Self-Reflection Questions:
After the lesson, students will be asked to identify areas of strength and areas for improvement in preparation for their next lesson.
Success Criteria:
The success criteria will be provided at the beginning of the lesson, and will clearly outline the expectations for the students in terms of playing the two leitmotifs. The criteria will be based on elements such as accuracy, tempo, dynamics, and hand placement.
Sheet Music with Letters:
The sheet music provided for the two leitmotifs will include letters to help students easily identify the keys they need to play. This will make it easier for students who may not be able to read sheet music fluently to still participate in the lesson.
Sound Clips and Examples:
Short sound clips of both leitmotifs will be provided for students to listen to and learn from. In addition, examples of the themes on a keyboard will be demonstrated to show correct hand placement and finger positioning.
Overall, this resource provides an engaging and practical way for students to learn two iconic Star Wars leitmotifs on the keyboard. The resource is designed to be flexible and adaptable, with teachers able to modify the activities to suit their individual needs and teaching styles.
