This document contains all the key terms required by the Eduqas exam board (though could be used for any exam board), containing a blank definition column and red/amber/green columns.

This ppt covers features of baroque, classical and romantic music, musical devices and structures, as well as a look at excerpts of the score to Eine Kleine Nachtmusik. Probably best used as a starting point to save some time.

A PLC featuring all the required skills for Eduqas Music GCSE, including performing, composing and listening/appraising, complete with red/amber/green check boxes. The document is in Excel format so students can highlight boxes electronically and create a colour-coded overview of their progress. PLEASE RATE IF YOU FIND THIS USEFUL. Thanks

This is a 3-page composition guide aimed at GCSE level, but also suitable for A-level. It is a grid consisting of the elements of music, plus 'technology' and 'style/coherence' criteria with suggestions as to what to include to attain satisfactory, good and excellent results in each.

This is a comprehensive quiz to go with the listening and appraising section of my PLC. The quiz systematically goes through each element of music, with an A section on theory/vocab and a B section on listening. When totaled up, each element is marked out of 12. This mark can then be used to fill in the PLC accurately and objectively using the following system: 0-4 = red, 5-8 = amber, 9-12 = green. The price of this resource reflects the time that went into making it. Although my PLC was made with Eduqas in mind, the quiz is generic. I hope you find it useful and please rate/review. Thank you.

This contains the answers to its sister resource, Music GCSE Vocabulary PLC. A comprehensive list of all the vocab required by the Eduqas exam board.

Two-sided document with top tips for the comparison question in Paper 3 with a writing framework for practice purposes.

Music Technology A-Level (Edexcel) This is a 34-page compilation of all Unit 2 and Unit 4 past paper questions relating to instruments and equipment (incl. all Unit 4 Question 4). E.g. Unit 2 2009 Q5b: “What percussive sounds other than a drum kit are used to drive the rhythm on this track?”. E.g. Unit 4 2016 Q4b: “Figure 1 shows delay, wah-wah and distortion guitar pedals. Explain the function of the pedals and the controls that can be seen in the picture.” Naturally, all these questions are freely available online, but you can save yourself hours of time sifting through them. However, you will need to check the Mark Schemes for answers.

Here is a test with 3 questions/excerpts of 12 marks each covering baroque, classical and romantic music. Questions 1 and 2 contain scores to test basic theory. The test comes with a mark scheme and would be most suitable for Y 10 or rusty Y11. All three questions contain Youtube links for easy access to audio. Example questions: Using letters, what is the structure of this piece? Which key is the first section in? Which note values can be seen in bar 15? Which term best describes the texture in bars 14-17? From which period is this piece? (multiple choice) Which R word describes the fact that the tempo is not strictly adhered to? Other than tonality, what differences are there between the first and second sections of this excerpt? Please come back to review if you think this will help others!
