Classroom Resources
The following classroom resources may be downloaded and used freely. If you have any resources which you would like to share with other teachers please contact Emyr Wynne Jones.
Skills Map for Key Stage 1, 2 and 3 (PDF)
This maps out and exemplifies the skills which children should acquire as they progress through Key Stages 1, 2 and 3. The skills are divided into four areas:
- Performing on instruments
- Singing
- Composing
- Appraising
These skills may form the basis of the 'Learning Objectives' which appear in Music Schemes of Work, thereby ensuring continuity and progression during and across key stages. By mapping out the things that children should know, do and understand as they progress, the skills map also maps out what teachers should be expecting and assessing.
Key Stage 1 and 2 Exemplar Scheme of Work (PDF)
Drawn up by experienced and successful primary school music coordinators, and overseen by the Music Adviser, this exemplar scheme of work draws upon the LEA skills map for its learning objectives, and then provides schools with a wide range of possible activities and resources which could be used in order to give the children every opportunity of achieving those objectives. The exemplar scheme of work also provides guidance regarding coverage of the Common Requirements within the Welsh National Curriculum. The purpose of having the exemplar scheme of work as a downloadable document is to allow schools to adapt and amend the document for their own purposes.
Key Stage 4 Exemplar Scheme of Work (PDF)
Based on the new WJEC Specification for Music, this breaks down the specification into integrated units of work based on the five areas of study. The purpose of having this exemplar scheme of work as a downloadable document is to enable music departments to adapt and amend for their own purposes.
