These music clips have been chosen to illustrate the main elements of music and context for music, as outlined in the National Curriculum. They've been selected from a wide range of sources, including different genres, time periods and geographical locations. The clips are intended for use as part of a music lesson and can be integrated in any way that is appropriate for your group.
The clips are short - up to 1 minute in duration. They can be used as they are or as a taster for longer illustrations. Some of the pieces are well-known and longer extracts from the works can be used either from a commercial CD or an MP3 download. Other material is not commercially available but may provide a useful starting point for class discussion and serve as models for researching your own school music archive.

How to listen on digital radio
From autumn 2003 BBC School Radio programmes will be broadcast on the BBC Radio 4 digital services.
Transmissions begin at 0300 every Tuesday to Friday morning during term time, but note that you will not be able to tune in using a standard analogue radio set.
You can receive digital radio in two main ways: either with a DAB Digital Radio or by using the BBC's Freeview service (EPG no. 704) via a TV set.
Radio 4 digital is also available on digital satellite television (Sky) and digital cable television (NTL and Telewest). |
