There are times when every Music Department has to have some emergency lessons. This resource is designed for those times - material for non-specialist cover, which can be easily photocopied.

Here are music wordsearches from pop music too classical and music crosswords of varying difficulty. The hardest of the crosswords may benefit from students helping each other (perhaps in pairs or small groups) as a wide range of knowledge is assumed. Do, though, think about the level of difficulty - the crosswords can be relatively easy, such as with the 'Orchestral Instruments', but also can be hard with the crosswords on 'Theory' and Composers'! As such, this resource offers material suitable for students from Year 7 to Year 13. To offer variety it may be useful to photocopy a wordsearch on one side and a crossword on the other. Set a crossword as a 'Music Challenge' or for homework! As well, there are quotations to enjoy. This resource helps make cover lessons manageable and it is one all students can enjoy.
