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 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 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 one-page worksheet provides examples and exercises to help students understand the importance of AO4 in extended answer questions. When I went on a course with the ex chief examiner, he explained that most students lost an inordinate number of marks because they did not understand this. Page 1 contains examples I made up, whereas page 2 contains a blank AO4 column for students to fill in.

This 4-page quiz about The Hunt from the original Planet of the Apes can be used as a teaching method or assessment. It has been created with Eduqas AoS 3 objectives in mind, covering important questions such as the composer's use of the stimulus, as well as a wide range of vocabulary covering all elements of music. This quiz was designed in conjunction with the Edexcel Anthology of Music first published in 2000 (the A-level score) and asks questions about specific bar numbers, but most questions can be answered without the score by simply listening to the hyperlinked excerpts and a bit of extra preparation. I have not included a copy of the score for copyright reasons. Either way, you will not regret buying this!
