GCSE Music Dictation Practice Tests [Eduqas]
EIGHT PRACTICE DICTATION QUESTIONS
These dictation tests were written to provide authentic examples of the 5-mark dictation questions found in Eduqas GCSE Music exams.
They cover the four Areas of Study, with a focus on the focus areas announced on 7th February 2022:
Romantic Music
Vocal Ensembles
Film Music
Popular music
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, rather than the 12 in the actual exam.
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.
