GCSE Music – Revision – Performance Techniques, Articulation, Technology

Performance Techniques, Articulation, Technology Questions

For GCSE Music, there are many terms that students need to know, and be able to identify aurally, but which aren’t regularly covered by many of the styles of music studied.

This revision resource brings together many of the key musical terms from three areas of GCSE Music:

• Performance Techniques (eg pizzicato, arco, distortion, glissando)
• Articulation (eg staccato, legato)
• Technology (eg reverb, panning, sample)

There are 17 questions, totalling 50 marks.

The assessment comes with a link to FREE audio, running for 37 minutes: perfect for a revision lesson, or as homework.

The extracts are (almost!) all from Popular Music, and feature a range of music by Buddy Holly, Primus, Maria Muldaur, Extreme, Nitro, Queen and Bon Jovi, plus more.

The bundle includes the full paper and mark scheme, plus the questions and mark scheme separately, in case you want to set it remotely.
