Area of Study 1 Study Pack : Eduqas GCSE Music 9-1

(2)
This is a selection of resources to support the understanding and wider concepts of Area of Study 1: Musical Forms and Devices within the Western Classical Tradition. The preview gives very little away... It has 75 slides covering: Baroque, Classical and Romantic Styles as well as composers and instrument development within historical contexts. Each compositional period covers key inventions / developments to place this securely in the mind of the learner as well as specific compositional devices. This can be used as a stand alone student support booklet to ensure thorough coverage and wider understanding for AOS1 Eduqas, GCSE Music. However, it would work equally well as a set of separate research / listening activity homework. Additionally these could be set as starter / plenary or even cover work. Included here are 50 extensive score and listening references with research and listening activities. This is really going to keep everyone busy!

EDUQAS GCSE Music Student Composition Log 2018 -2019.

(0)
This is a Powerpoint document that I’m using with my GCSE Music class this year. It’s designed to allow students to keep a digital record of their composition progress in line with the three monitoring checks required by Eduqas. I wanted to have a document that would allow students to update easily and store within the local shared area. It’s uploaded here as a Powerpoint document so that you can edit it yourself to suit your learner’s needs. The document covers both compositions and references the current briefs set by Eduqas. Once all compositions are completed this information can be copied across to the official paperwork. Hopefully you will find it useful!

Learner monitoring behaviour report.

This is a new style monitoring report designed for learners to reflect on their behaviour and progress in lessons. It is uploaded as a powerpoint document so that you can easily adapt it for your own school and learners. It is absolutely designed for learners to make the biggest contribution to - and reflect on why they are being monitored. I have used this report sparingly and after a detailed conversation with learners who have responded well. On the back is clear information from the Department for Education - clearly identifying that learners have the right to learn and the sanctions available to schools. You can included your own behaviour for learning agreement underneath. This is working well with my learners - I would welcome your feedback.
