Year 8 Elements Focus

Each unit in Musical Contexts focuses on one of more of the Elements of Music - Rhythm, Pitch, Texture, Timbre & Dynamics, Melody & Harmony and Structure and Form.  The following overview of Year 8 units shows the elements covered and may assist long-term planning through the key stage and between key stages 2 and 3.

All of the Key Stage 3 Year 8 units above have been updated to include the new Key Stage 3 National Curriculum for Music Programmes of Study (effective from September 2014) on Lesson Plans (and in Lesson Bundle Zip Files) and Schemes of Work.  Musical Contexts has retained the “National Curriculum Level Descriptors” as a way or monitoring and measuring pupils’ Learning Outcomes in both the Schemes of Work, Lesson Plans and on various associated resources such as the “My Learning” plenary activities which occur at the end of each unit.
