HSC Music Exam 'Writing your response' exercise/lesson

Year 11 or 12 HSC Music 1. Use this HSC Music 1 Aural examination exercise (with structured activities) as a stand-alone lesson (also useful for relief) or take the opportunity to work one-on-one with your students as they work independently through the activities.
The worksheets develop:
- the ability to discriminate between sounds and to make judgements about their use in a wide range of musical styles, periods and genres.
- an understanding of the aural paper, the various question styles and how to write a detailed response in a limited, timed paper.
- develop skills meeting both syllabus and examination requirements.
