Eduqas A Level Music - Jazz - Bebop Practice Tests
EDUQAS A LEVEL MUSIC - JAZZ: BEBOP PRACTICE LISTENING TESTS
On 7th February 2022, it was announced that students studying AoS D: Jazz would be tested on Bebop and Cool Jazz.
Bebop is arguably the most difficult of the Jazz styles for students and teachers to engage with and analyse by ear, and the one for which there are fewest resources.
As a Jazz nerd (and BBC Radio 2 and 3 Jazz producer), as well as classroom teacher, I’m pleased to present these sample questions, focussing on Bebop, using recordings by:
Charlie Parker
Miles Davis
Red Norvo
Claude Thornhill
There are three sample Question 5s, and two sample Question 6s (comparison between two recordings).
The document comes complete with:
YouTube links with exact timings for all musical examples
Full and detailed mark scheme
Please look out for my other Jazz resources, including “Ten Sample Assessments” and “Ten MORE Sample Assessments”, covering all the areas of Jazz in the specification.
Updated version of the document uploaded on 1st April 2022.
Thank you!

GCSE Music – Revision – Sonority (Instrument Recognition)
Sonority – Instrument Recognition Questions
The GCSE Music Specification includes many terms that students need to know, and be able to identify, but which aren’t covered by many of the styles of music studied.
Using only music from Popular Music, this revision resource brings together every instrument, voice and ensemble (apart from “basso continuo”, for obvious reasons!) from the sub-menu “Sonority”, ie instruments, voices, and ensembles.
In order to be accessible to students who really struggle with such things, there are 50 simple, 1-mark questions, which ask students to identify an instrument, voice type, or ensemble.
In addition, there is also a bonus question alongside every simple question, for students who find such things easier – so 100 questions in total!
So that the first group of students don’t feel like they’re underachieving, there are two different PDFs: one with just the 50 simple questions, and one with the bonus questions as well, so teachers can choose which to give their students.
The questions are in ten sections:
Strings
Woodwind
Brass
Percussion
Keyboards
Rock and Pop
Indian
Voices
Miscellaneous
Ensembles
The resource comes with a link to FREE audio, running for 1h15’, either as one file or ten separate files: perfect for a revision lesson, or as homework.
The extracts cover a wide range of Popular Music, and features music by the likes of Eva Cassidy, Led Zeppelin, Björk, Yes, Primus, Tanita Tikaram, The Meters, Minnie Riperton, Tom Waits, Genesis, Jamiroquai, Badly Drawn Boy, Freak Power, Blood, Sweat & Tears, and The Cure!
The bundle includes the full paper and mark scheme, plus two PDFs of questions (50, or 100), and mark scheme separately, in case you want to set it remotely.
