Download over 400 Music Worksheets for your GCSE Music Theory Lessons Today
GCSE Music covers a lot of ground. There are loads of resources around dealing with historical and stylistic analysis but at the core of GCSE is the question....
"Do our GCSE Students understand the "nuts and bolts" of music theory?"
Twelve learning packs that combine to provide an entire basic music theory course without using any notated music!

FREE DOWNLOAD Pack 3: Whole and Half-Step Intervals 1
An "explainer" and two worksheets looking at whole-step and half step intervals that students will need to understand before they can construct Major and minor scales. As well as being required to graphically recognise and represent individual notes learners are then required to provide the names of notes a whole or half step above or below the one that they originally identified. You can download this pack as a freebie to let you see the quality of our materials and to see where they may fit into your own teaching practice

Effective Music Theory at GCSE level
If your students understand how to....
correctly name notes....
define whole step and half step intervals....
use those intervals to create Major and minor scales....
use scales so that they can construct and identify chords....
arrange chords into keys.......
then they will have mastered the most important (and difficult, not to mention potentially frustrating!) part of the GCSE syllabus
The harmonic and melodic elements of Music Theory at GCSE are often the most difficult part of the subject to get across to our students.
They can often tend to be more comfortable with those parts of the course that do not require them to have a solid theoretical framework. The stylistic and historical stuff plays to already established academic strengths but for many students (particularly those coming to the subject from a love of popular music forms) the study of music theory can seem a little removed from their own experience
"If we are realistic about it then we have to take into account the fact that for many students music theory is a completely new language.
Like any language it needs to be learned from the absolute basics"
Any confusion or "glossing over" at the early stages of study will lead to a situation where many students come to see music theory as something that they "work around" rather than a set of tools that open up understanding of the art form
