AoS 1: Musical Forms and Devices – PART 1

BINARY, TERNARY, RONDO - SIX LESSONS*

This is a 50-page PPT, as an Intro to Baroque, Classical and Romantic Music, covering Binary, Ternary and Rondo form in detail.

Instead of trying to work chronologically, which always ends up being skewed towards earlier music, there are seven examples taken from across the centuries, to explain Binary, Ternary and Rondo.

Musical examples from Purcell, Handel, JS Bach, Mozart, Brahms, R. Schumann, and Tchaikovsky.

There are also three COMPOSING TASKS to put students’ understanding into practice.

The bundle ALSO includes Sibelius and XML files for three of the pieces, to allow classroom performance.

There is a focus on the Eduqas Appendix C, to cover lots of the terms there, with the rest to be covered in Part 2, soon!

There are three mini-tests throughout the course, each worth 12-marks, and split into three groups of four, of increasing difficulty, so something for everyone.

The resource comes as a 50-page PowerPoint, and an accompanying 16-page student workbook (PDF).

*It is estimated that the course will take approx. six lessons, but of course this depends on how long schools’ lessons are, the prior experience of the students, and other factors.

Please look at my TES shop for other resources.

Thank you.
