Please feel
free to copy, modify, customise, personalise and use Musical Contexts resources for your own use, with your students and pupils, within your
own school or college and on internal Virtual Learning Environments
(VLEs). Please
use the resources responsibly and ethically, as continued irresponsible free
sharing and poaching of paid published resources (particularly “free sharing”
to Facebook groups and the current trend of setting up “free” music resource
websites using Musical Contexts and other published resources) is not only a breach of copyright, but
the implications of making these publicly available on websites, even if only
for a short period of time, are that other schools and teachers can freely
access them meaning a loss of earnings for authors and publishers,
jeopardising future resource development for YOUR subject specification and
will only sadly see the demise of sites such as Musical Contexts which rely on
the support (and honesty) of schools and teachers for future
development. Musical
Contexts is unitedly working with a range of
publishers together to monitor Facebook groups for such “free sharing” and
regular checks to the web are made using a program which scours the web for
PDFs using automated code (scrapers). Any subscriber found freely
sharing Musical Contexts resources online will have their log-in cancelled with immediate
effect and no refund given in respect of this. |

The Musical Contexts
Great Big Christmas Music Quiz £12.50 |
Those last few music lessons of the
Autumn Term, on the run-up to Christmas, can be an extremely busy time for
classroom music teachers! Christmas
Concerts and Carol Services, plus rehearsal time, can often lead to moments
of unplanned cover and music lessons being re-roomed at short notice. Following on from the success of the Musical Contexts Great Big End of Summer Term
Music Quiz…………….The
Musical Contexts Great Big Christmas Music Quiz!! The Musical Contexts
Great Big Christmas Music Quiz has 200+ questions,
divided into 20 “rounds” of 10 questions each. It’s up to individual teachers as to what
particular “rounds” they wish to use with classes, depending on lesson
duration, location, ability of classes and individual preference. The quiz is designed to be “edited” by
teachers, allowing them to put together a fun finale to Christmas music
lessons. The pupil answer sheet has
therefore been left generic, rather than specific, allowing a space for a
“team name” (if pupils are working in teams - the quiz can also be set for
individual completion), and space for pupils/teams to insert the “round name”
or “round number”, depending on what the teacher has chosen. All of the questions on The Musical Contexts Great Big Christmas Music
Quiz are given on an accompanying PowerPoint
presentation (with embedded audio and video tracks for certain rounds) as
well as individual audio and video files in .mp3 format for audio files and
video files in .mp4 formats. Answers
are also given in both this booklet and on a separate PowerPoint Presentation
for ease of marking and certain rounds are given within the Master Quiz
Booklet if IT facilities are lacking and a more traditional “paper-based”
quiz is more practical. Rounds include: Multiple Choice Christmas Songs and Music
General Knowledge, Introductions Rounds, Christmas Song Scramble, Backwards
Christmas Songs, Christmas Carols Missing Words, Christmas Movie and Film
Songs, Name that Christmas Song Multiple Choice, One Carol to the Tune of
Another, Christmas Songs and Carols Pictograms, Ortnis (Reverse Intros), The
Twelve Days of Christmas, Christmas Carols Staff Notation Round, Christmas
Pop to the Tune of Carols, Finish that Christmas Song, Name that Christmas
Song Quickfire, Christmas Songs General Knowledge and Christmas Songs Silent
Videos. |
