Section B (35 marks) is the more challenging section of the A level Music Exam, with essay questions requiring use of continuous prose (not notes or bullet points).
Question 5 (15 marks) is based on a piece of unfamiliar music related to one of the set works (but not from any of the suggested wider listening pieces). A recording of the music is given, but no notation. Discussion should extend to other music, which may be drawn from set works, suggested wider listening pieces or any other relevant music.
In this example question I give pupils an example of how to get started on this question in relation to ‘Psycho’, demonstrating the AO3 and AO4 criteria.
Students are then encouraged to continue writing AO3 and AO4 points in prose.
