KS3 Cover Lesson - Ode To Joy

This lesson is a good fit for students with at least a term’s worth of analytical listening experience.

It works as a stand-alone 60 minute cover lesson and can be delivered by a non-specialist.

The cover teacher will need access to a screen and projector, decent speakers to broadcast sound into the room and YouTube.

The resource comprises:

  • Instructions for the cover teacher on how to deliver the content
  • An outline of the specialist musical language that will be used in the lesson, designed to support both students and the cover teacher
  • Embedded video clips with questions and answers
  • Additional embedded video clips to support musical understanding
  • A recap of the specialist musical language from the start of the lesson - to consolidate new learning
