Red Letter Days Listening Resource

Leicestershire Music are excited to bring you another new, comprehensive, FREE resource to use in your school!

Created alongside two of our fabulous Lead Practitioners ( Laura Norris – Newlands Community Primary, Gail Wheatley – The Hall School) and following on from our very successful Active Listening Resource, our new Red Letter Day Listening Resource supplements this with musical opportunities linked to religious festivals, national and international celebrations and awareness days across the year.

As part of the Model Music Curriculum, schools are asked to enrich the learning of music by 'developing pupils' shared knowledge and understanding of the stories, origins, traditions, history and social context of the music they are listening to, singing and playing.' This resource will do just that!

There is a presentation with planning (with answers provided to the questions!) The resource could be used as outlined below or used flexibly to suit.

Day 1: Listen to piece 1 and learn about its musical context.
Day 2: Explore the piece of music in more detail, developing listening skills.
Day 3: Listen to piece 2 and learn about its musical context.
Day 4: Explore the piece of music in more detail, developing listening skills.
Day 5: Compare and contrast the two pieces of music.
