A visually engaging timbre word bank to support students’ listening skills, appraising and composition skills with clear, accessible vocabulary categories
This colourful Timbre Word Bank is a clear, student-friendly support tool designed to help learners describe sound with precision and confidence. Ideal for KS3, KS4 and even KS2 music lessons, it provides a structured way for students to access a wide range of descriptive vocabulary for use in composition, listening tasks and music analysis.
Words are grouped into six categories, making it easy for students to understand and choose the most appropriate descriptive terms:
- Bright & clear
- Warm & mellow
- Dark & hollow
- Harsh & rough
- Full & powerful
Perfect for:
- Classroom displays
- Pupil reference during listening or composition tasks
- Printable handouts or digital use
- Stretching vocabulary and encouraging evaluative language
It also supports cross-curricular literacy, helps SEND and EAL learners by grouping words visually and is great for GCSE music preparation where detailed listening and descriptive accuracy are key.
