GCSE Music Target Stickers – What does a Grade * look like?

(0)
Descriptions of GCSE Music Grade 8-1 attributes divided into the categories of performing, composing, knowledge and understanding. Grades 2, 5 and 8 are as worded by Ofqual, therefore they are not specific to an exam board. These are formatted into A6 landscape stickers for the front of student books, to help focus on musicality in self/peer-assessment and target setting activities . There is also an A4 version, should you wish to create different sized stickers or use at a larger size. All documents are PDFs. [EDIT: Files re-uploaded to correct a typing error on Grade 8]
