BBC School RadioThese 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.
