This is a four slide Powerpoint presentation which includes twenty-four audio clips of percussion instruments.
Present the Powerpoint.
Students can select a number between 1 - 24.
Either select on your computer screen or this can be activated through an interactive board.
Click on the number to hear the attached audio.
Students are then asked to identify the audible clip.
All audio clips are embedded within this Powerpoint.
All answers on the final slide for your reference.
I have used this as a starter with Key Stage 3 students to build aural recognition of percussion instruments.
Enjoy!
This is a substantial powerpoint with fully embedded sounds.
There are 23 slides covering basic and extended chords on C.
Each slide shows a clear two octave piano keyboard - showing all note names.

The following chords are included:
C major triad
C Sus 2
C Sus 4
C5
C6
C7
C9
C flat9
C add 9
C11

C major 7
C minor
C minor 6
C minor 7
C minor maj 7th

This is not designed to be presented in all one session but rather a reference point.
It very clearly shows the notes in the chord and you can choose to hear how they sound.
All chords have been embedded.
This is uploaded as powerpoint and you can easily arrange the slides in an order that is appropriate for your learners - leaving extended chords towards the end perhaps.
