This is a powerpoint with help on how to answer the long answer questions and the different types that may come up. It mostly uses extract from the GCSE Music OCR Complete Revision & Practice book but if you don’t have that you can find the extracts online- I will update to incude the titles of the songs when I am back at work.

My arrangement of Mission Impossible for piano. Great if you are studying film music or irregular time signatures!

This is a simple listening assessment for year 7 students based on the Schindler’s list theme tune. It is a good way to assess what students know already and give students a baseline listening grade.

2 easy piano versions of heart and soul and lean on me.

This is my arrangement of All of me by John Legend for piano. It has letter names written above notes to help those who don’t read music.

This is a Personalised, learning, checklist that can be used to check the students’ knowledge and understanding for the Unit 1 exam.

This is a guide for students (and teachers!) for creating a neat and readable score in Logic. It gives simple instructions with pictures to help you navigate the process more easy. This is especially useful for students who have composed GCSE compositions on Logic, as sometimes if they have composed lots of tracks, the go to score will look very cramped and messy!

This is my version of River Flows in You by Yiruma for solo piano. It is slightly simplified but around grade 3 standard and works well with all years but especially those preparing for GCSE performances. Letter names are given above the notes to help those who don’t read music but I’ve also included a PDF without letter names.
