GCSE Music - Practice Dictation Questions

(1)
EIGHT PRACTICE DICTATION QUESTIONS These dictation tests provide authentic examples of the dictation questions found in GCSE Music exams. They cover various styles and genres of music: Orchestral and Choral Music Jazz and Popular Song Film Music Pop music (ballads) The questions come in groups of four, one for each of the categories above, and each group of four features music by musicians whose names begin with the same letter. In this pack, the musicians’ names begin with the letters A and B. The main feature of all these shorter questions is dictation, to help students practice this type of exam question, worth five marks. I have added a few additional shorter questions, totalling three additional marks, so that every question is worth eight marks. As these are shorter questions, to focus on dictation, the extracts are shorter (generally 20–25 seconds long), and there is less time after the question for students to complete their answers. Each listening test is approx. 5’30"-6’00" long. This pack contains one document with questions and answers, and separate documents for just the questions (incl. YouTube links), and just the answers, in case teachers want to set the exercises as homework. The document comes complete with: • YouTube links with exact timings for all musical examples • Full mark scheme • Perfect for printing on double-sided A3 sheets. NB These questions are also released as “GCSE Music Dictation Practice Tests [Eduqas]”, as they were originally written with a focus on the Eduqas syllabus.
