Teaching Booklets

For each of the Units I have produced a teaching booklet that is designed to be used by the pupil with teacher guidance. In all booklets there will be some form of composition, performance and listening examples. Where listening examples are suggested, I will be leaving a link to a spotify playlist so as each teacher should be able to have access to all listening examples. Some elements are covered in earlier units and these booklets can be used to refer back on to reinforce learning.
