Improvising & Composing KS2 is a five-mission music activity book mapped to the DfE National Curriculum for Key Stage 2 Music. Children learn to improvise (make music up on the spot) and compose (create and keep a piece), shaping their music with the interrelated elements — pulse and beat, rhythm, pitch, dynamics and tempo. They meet the ostinato (a repeated pattern or riff), write simple graphic scores with their own symbols, give a piece a clear structure of beginning, middle and end, and choose tuned and untuned percussion to perform. Auto-marked knowledge questions are checked instantly on screen, or the whole book can be printed with a full answer key. Includes teacher, parent and pupil notes and is fully SEND-friendly with high-contrast and large-text modes.
Playing Instruments KS2 is a five-mission Key Stage 2 music activity book mapped to the DfE National Curriculum for KS2 Music. Children sort tuned instruments (glockenspiel, recorder, keyboard) from untuned ones (drum, tambourine, claves), classify instruments into the four families of strings, woodwind, brass and percussion, read simple notation and the note names A–G, keep in time with a steady pulse and control the dynamics, and finish by playing together in an ensemble that follows a leader and starts and stops as one.
