Designed for Key Stage 3 Music Students, this interactive and fully click-able resource is perfect for helping pupils independently learn how to play chords on the Piano, Guitar and Ukulele as well as learning the notes on the Bass. Students can have the programme open in front of them and at their own pace, learn how to play 4 different instruments. The Guitar and Ukulele pages have images or finger positions, audio clips to make sure the chords are correct and tablature to help understand the written form and the Piano and Bass pages have highlighted notes for easy learning. There is also a full functioning and click-able piano keyboard to help teach intervals and complex chords to students, all at their own pace. Once students have mastered an instrument, there are 2 full functioning and commonly played chord sequences for students to practice play alongside and to test their ability to change chords and to stay in time with a backing track. This is a perfect resource for anyone teaching Band, Ensemble or Musical Futures schemes of work and it is essential for students learning how to take their first steps into playing chords. For best results, make this programme accessible to all students on a common drive so they can each have it open on their own computers and work through it independently. For further information, please visit the You Tube link to see the programme in action. For a Music Theory based resource, please see the Interactive Music Theory programme.

This interactive and independent resource encourages the development of music appreciation and the understanding of keywords through listening to 50 pieces of music from 10 genres. Baroque, Romantic, Minimalism, Film, Jazz, Blues, Rock 'n’ Roll, Rock, Pop and Rap and Hip Hop are all included and it was made to compliment the Model Music Curriculum for Key Stage 3 but wasn’t necessarily led by it. Students will also learn over 80 keywords and techniques through listening to the pieces and will have a work booklet with leading questions for them to answer and develop their understanding as they listen to new music. Nearly 50 of the keywords have specifically made audio examples included on the keywords screen to help further consolidate the knowledge in a more concise way, as well as the 50 pieces of music. This resource would be perfect for listening exercises at Key Stage 3, 4 and 5, or as a consolidation of keywords and techniques / theory scheme of work at any of these ability levels. The aim is that the students complete this work independently either in short segments (as a starter or plenary in a lesson perhaps), the main body of the lesson if covering a specific genre, as cover work for when you’re running the Christmas show or even as a weekly homework log where students are set a different genre each week to expand their musical knowledge and appreciation. I’ve designed it to be flexible for all of these possibilities and more but the focus is on the students listening first, understanding second and then answering questions third. You could also use the glossary of terms in the back of the booklets as a weekly or termly test where students write the definitions of the keywords next to the term as they all match the keywords pages on the PowerPoint. Each of the keywords is defined as you hover over the word on the PowerPoint and there is a bank of keywords organised in four sections: Key Stage 3, Key Stage 4, Key Stage 5 and Music Technology. I toiled with where to place some keywords, but I’ve based their final positions on the notion that a lot of Key Stage 3 students have missed a large chunk of their music lessons over the last 2 years so might be less familiar with some of the more complicated words. However, there is nothing stopping students and teachers delivering and learning the more complicated techniques earlier on in the school year. It is all about listening and discovering information through independent work and it is flexible for any circumstance, and I hope it creates curiosity in more complex techniques. The resource only opens and fully functions in Microsoft PowerPoint. The file will open in Google Slides but none of the interactivity will work You will receive the original PowerPoint, the Slide Show Only version, the Publisher Booklets and the PDF version as well.

A Board Game for BTEC Music students to learn how to plan their own country-wide tour. This resource is a fun and interactive way for students to understand how to plan a tour around the U.K whilst getting to grips with what it would be like for a booking agent to do this in real life! Students will have to navigate Transportation, Venue Hire, Merchandise Sales and Ticketing as well as planning a Marketing Strategy and utilising Promotional ideas. There are some things to consider thrown in along the way to make sure students are planning their tour in the most profitable way possible as well as some rewards for arranging their tour with good strategy. Students will need 2 plastic counters (or coins) to chart their progress across the Map and the Calendar respectively as well as a calculator and pencil to fill in their progress along their journey and keep an accurate log of their profits. Students will also get a chance to practice Maths as they figure out percentages or their profits along the way, The aim of the game is for students to make the biggest profit they can by manipulating their moves to give them the best possible outcomes. Some gigs at Venues will make a profit and some will make a loss but there are many different strategies to take when planning the tour. There are three A3 sized pages: a Map to be used as the playing board, a Calendar to plan your progress on and an Instructions page which explains how the game works which includes a detailed example. Once the Instructions and Maps have been printed, they can be re-used over and over again but to re-set the game, re-print the Calendars as this is what the students write their progress and Tour on. The game takes roughly 2 lessons to complete but can be done quicker when students are more familiar with it. The key concept is that they are implementing already learned information about Touring and Venue hire into a practical environment. Enjoy!

Built for delivering during the lockdown, the Interactive Instrument Resource has 7 in-built instruments that are all click-able for students to experience practical music lessons from their own home. The 7 instruments are: Glockenspiel with a C major scale and 2 backing tracks to play along with* Violin fretboard with 2+ C major scales and 2 backing tracks* Set of orchestral percussion and 2 backing tracks* Piano keyboard with 2 full octaves and 3 backing tracks A trumpet with 2 octaves and 1 backing track A Guzheng Zither with 2 Pentatonic octaves and 1 backing track Drum kit and electronic drum kit with 3 backing tracks *Same backing tracks for these instruments The resource works best when the students have downloaded their own version and can run it at home on Microsoft PowerPoint. The idea is that they work on a particular instrument for a lesson but this isn’t a scheme of work, just a play-able tool for students at home. Please have a look at the photos for further examples of the display and functionality. Just to clarify: you will need Microsoft PowerPoint to run this file
