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.

I use this ppt with year 7. It might needs some adapting, but if you like it, please rate. Thanks.

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.

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 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!
