This is an extensive and exhaustive resource full of essay points and score examples for AoSA Development of the Symphony Wider Listening. It contains points for every single essay topic (13 in total), covering 21 wider listening works from Stamitz (1750) to Mahler (1894). This resource also includes extensive points on Haydn 104 and Mendelssohn 4, the A Level set works. Whilst there is a huge volume of information in here, and more than enough wider listening examples, the idea is that students can flick to the essay topic that they want to revise (e.g. C. Second/slow movements) and easily be able to compare earlier and later symphonies, accessing lots of different essay points. You can edit the document to make it work for your wider listening choices, and use it as a PDF (with hyperlinks for each essay topic), or print it as a booklet (for a physical revision resource). This resource has been a labour of love, and taken over 50 hours to complete. I hope that it is helpful! Any questions at all, please contact me on kirstenparry12@gmail.com. Thank you!

This resource is perfect for the first half term of GCSE Music, whether that be the beginning of Year 9, end of Year 9 or the beginning of Year 10 (depending on when your KS4 begins!)

I hope people find this useful! I created it on Onedrive as a live document so my pupils fill boxes in for homework (or they do it live in class and I have it up on the board so we can see what each other is doing). Sometimes I tell them to focus on one wider listening work, i.e. Eroica, and sometimes I tell them to focus on one essay topic, i.e. harmony/tonality. It then becomes a really cool, live, revision resource. There are a lot of wider listening works on there, we dip in and out of some and focus more on others, but you can tweak/add/delete as necessary. Useful for revising specific essay topics! Also includes links to score PDFs, date of composition, symphony nicknames and size of the orchestra for each work.

I created it on onedrive as a live document so my pupils fill boxes in for homework (or they do it live in class and I have it up on the board so we can see what each other is doing). Sometimes I tell them to focus on one set work, i.e. the Beethoven, and sometimes I tell them to focus on one element of music, i.e. structure. It then becomes a really cool, live, revision resource. I colour code my elements of music to Dr T Smitth, but edit and adapt as you wish!
