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!

You might also like to use a sound processor to compose music culminating in the broken glass. NB You may have to convert these files into WAV files . A switch converter is available on the internet

The Circus

(17)
An opportunity to hear ( embedded files ) the barrel organ playing melodies we associate with the circus. Plenty of opportunity to move to the music. The file lends itself to adaptation but you will lose sound if you delete the slide with sound on. The modern version of Nelly the elephant-is included The PowerPoint is a stimulus to creating music and moving. Elephant poem and a worksheet for an information text about the circus. Would appreciate feed back. The Moscow state circus PPT contains maps, information and images from a geographical point of view. Feedback appreciated

Superheroes music and movement

(3)
The ideas for the music and movement come from a short video of a series of superman actions mimed over the background of the Superman music. Then suggestions are made for the instruments to invent a sound for that movement. The aim is to create a series of movements that can be acted out with their own music.There is also a preview a superman song for sale in the premium products.

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.
