**Elements of Music Vocab Builder Worksheet/Aid (Junior Cycle/Leaving Cert music/GCSE)
**
This resource is a practical tool designed to help students build a comprehensive music vocabulary over time. It features a Music Elements Wheel, which can be glued into students’ music notebooks for ongoing reference. As students learn new musical terms, they can fill in each section of the wheel with relevant vocabulary corresponding to different elements of music, such as adding “allegro” and “largo” under Tempo.
Perfect for continuous use throughout the school year, this resource serves as a personal word bank that students can refer to during aural tasks and when describing music. It’s a highly effective way to support vocabulary development, ensuring that students have a structured and accessible way to recall key musical terms as their learning progresses.
