I am a music specialist and the music I write is original, tested on children and for the less confident teacher. My aim is to provide you with everything you need to fulfil Topic requirements and those of the National Curriculum (without having to prepare anything.) I provide Power Points/videos and give you mp3s and lyrics. Notation is sometimes given. The instrumental parts are dead easy!

Compose and move to the sounds of dinosaurs . Non specialist

(1)
Suitable for ages 5 to 8. Sound embedded in PowerPoint The PowerPoint has various dinosaur "sounds" that the children are asked to listen to. Then they interpret the sounds with instruments which are suggested (More confident children will suggest their own.) Finally the sounds are layered (Texture is added) by the author and then the children are encouraged to put their own sounds together. For differentiation, If you have a competent musician in the class, he or she could play the keyboard above the percussion sounds.

easy composing Mayan music for non specialist

(3)
N.B I have downloaded this resource and had no problem opening the video. You do need PowerPoint 2010 The starting point is a clip showing a recreation of Mayan music . It is deliciously spooky. I have edited the original video (URL in PPT) for a child's attention span.. You will need ordinary class percussion instruments and any kind of recorder etc. You do not need to be able to play it. Let me know if you have fun My children loved it.
