I have analysed the two specimen papers published by Edexcel, in conjunction with the Specification. By identifying and understanding the requirements of these specimen papers, I have been able to produce a set of resources which will prepare the students for the examination. By reading my analysis, I believe that you will be able to answer the perennial question, ‘will this be in the exam?’ with more confidence, leaving you freer to achieve your primary aim of instilling a love and appreciation of music in your students. What will you gain from the question paper analysis document? 1. Evidence of actual exam questions produced by Edexcel, broken down into sets 2. A clear sense of the style and type of question your student will receive 3. A confidence in knowing what your students need to know and the sort of questions they will answer to demonstrate their knowledge

This resource practises identifying melody and accompaniment in the Area of Study One set works (Bach and Beethoven). It consists of six pages: four pages of questions and two answer-sheets. I have produced a set of resources based on the technique of ‘over-learning’ which is a method intended to strengthen and consolidate the mental models in long term memory as advocated by Bjork (2011). I have analysed the two specimen papers published by Edexcel, in conjunction with the Specification. By identifying and understanding the requirements of these specimen papers, I am able to be confident that these resources will prepare the students for the examination. Notes about the resources The resources can be used as formative assessments. The expectation is that students will get all of the questions right because the aim is for teachers to teach to mastery. If they do not score highly then the concept should be revisited immediately to address any misconceptions. This method helps a student to ‘build a firm long-term memory of the concept being taught’ (Christodoulou, 2016). Please read ‘The philosophy behind my resources’ for more information. Please see the file ‘List of Resources’ to establish what is available.

Students should read page 79 in the Edexcel GCSE (9-1) Music Student Book and then answer the questions (with the book closed). A good ‘end of topic’ test to ensure that students have learned the basics about this Set Work. This resource comprises one page of questions and one page of answers. See also ‘Getting Started’, ‘Tonality and Key 1’ and ‘Melody and Accompaniment’. Please follow me to receive any updates free of charge.
