It was an enormous success with the vast majority achieving Distinction Grades. It was largely in thanks to Teaching with Ease’s excellent music games. I set up the “Music Theory Games Arcade” for them every lesson and they really loved it. It gave a really fun thing to look forward to in lessons. “Once the PDFs were downloaded, I could print them and laminate them meaning we can use them time and time again in the build up to their exams.”
