Moby timeline of events

Similar to a Lord Of The Rings resource I've uploaded - a map of what happens in Moby's song; laid out in Cubase fashion (numbers on the top are the bars per box) pupils colour in/mark in which instruments are playing in which section (see second page of Word document). It is in the GCSE revision guide but is useful as a starting task on Moby. Any feedback you have would be helpful, thank you!

Edexel Music GCSE Composition booklet

(0)
A step by step guide of how to compose in the different styles of music. I have used only the following: Minimalism, African, Baroque/Classical/Romantic and Pop. Includes ways to get top marks for structure, developing an idea, exploitation of the medium as well as snippets of example scores. This is based on the previous Edexcel specification. It's a working document so far from finished but feedback would be great, thanks!

Set Fire To The Rain - Chords and Lyrics - Adele

(0)
Another Adele song for a class to try out; students can learn structure, major/minor chords as well as beats per bar. Useful for KS4 pupils to try this song in a different genre. If you have any feedback please let me know! If some of the chords are different or sections of the song are missing it's to make the song easier to learn quicker.
