EDUQAS GCSE MUSIC - ROCK MUSIC (AoS4) A PowerPoint and accompanying Student Workbook, designed to take students through the genre of Rock Music, all within the context of listening practice, and exam-style questioning. Plus, an explanation of falsetto, with a listening exercise, within the world of Pop/Rock. This helps teachers who are less-familiar with the style, and are uncertain of which examples to use. Listening exercises on songs by: Rainbow Girlschool Lenny Kravitz AC/DC Bon Jovi PPT and Workbook both have YouTube links (updated October 2023), with timings. This is Lesson 2 of a series, exploring all the Eduqas-prescribed genres of Popular music.

Many music teachers don’t feel as confident teaching Blues and Jazz at Key Stage 4, as many don’t have any background in these musics. This 100-page PPT covers Blues and Jazz, with a focus on KS4 knowledge. This resource should cover 3–4 lessons. It covers all main musical features of Blues and Jazz, including: Walking Bass Extended Harmony AABA 32-Bar Song Form Improvisation Scat Singing Blue Notes …and loads more. There are lots of min-tests throughout the course, practical activities, plus three practice exam questions at the end, worth 6, 8 and 10 marks respectively. Great examples, as YouTube videos, including diverse music by: Ana Popovic Muddy Waters Larkin Poe Freddie King Leroy Carr Duke Ellington Buddy Holly Samara Joy Mance Lipscombe Nina Simone Shakura Jimmy Rushing Niels-Henning Ørsted Pedersen JJ Johnson Charlie Parker Andrea Motis Ella Fitzgerald Frank Rosolino Regina Carter Wynton Marsalis Jack Teagarden Louis Armstrong Mel Tormé Cleo Laine Django Reinhardt Dizzy Gillespie Dee Dee Bridgewater John Coltrane …and Thelonious Sphere Monk!

50 questions on JS Bach’s Badinerie (Part B) In the 2022 GCSE Music exam, question 1 will be on JS Bach’s Badinerie, Part B. Here are 50 1-mark questions, designed to cover everything that I believe could come up in the exam. Some questions are similar (eg identifying cadences and keys), and the questions are in no particular order, so that students don’t go onto auto pilot. Includes full score, link to the audio, and full mark scheme. Bundle contains: Full document (Questions, Score, and Mark Scheme) Questions and score only Mark scheme and score only …so that you can send to students to work on remotely if necessary.

A WHOLE PRACTICE PAPER COMPRESSED INTO ONE LESSON A quick, exam-practice sample assessment containing 20 separate pieces of music, that can be done within one (60’) lesson. **20 separate extracts of music covering all four Areas of Study! 20 QUICK QUESTIONS 1–5: AoS1 Forms and Devices 6–10: AoS2 Music for Ensemble 11–15: AoS3 Film Music 16–20: AoS4 Popular Music Each question is worth four marks, rather than the usual 12, and contains shorter extracts, each played twice. The idea is to get as much exam practice done across all four Areas of Study, but within one lesson. Questions include: Dictation Comparison All the musical elements covered This TES bundle includes: PDF of all 20 Questions and Mark Scheme PDF of just the 20 Questions (in case you need to set these remotely) PDF of just the Mark Scheme Author’s email address for help with the audio Extracts include music by Elgar, Saint-Saens, Harry Connick Jr, Billie Holiday, Tiomkin, Rachel Portman, Groove Armada, Duran Duran and Dua Lipa.

Thank you!

Harmony, Form and Structure 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. Many students struggle with recognising musical elements, especially cadences, chord inversions, and other elements of harmony, form and structure, so this resource comprises 17 short extracts of music, five of which have skeleton scores, as in the exam. Each extract has four questions attached, covering all the terms associated with Harmony, Form and Structure: HARMONY Primary chords Secondary chords Inversion Diatonic Tonic Subdominant Dominant (7th) Perfect cadence Imperfect cadence Plagal cadence Interrupted cadence Chord progression/chord sequence Harmonic rhythm Drone Pedal Dissonance Power chords FORM AND STRUCTURE Binary Ternary Rondo Minuet and Trio Repetition Contrast Theme and variations Strophic 32 bar song form/AABA 12 bar Blues Call and response Ostinato Bridge Break Loop Improvisation Verse Chorus Middle 8 Fill Introduction Outro Coda Riff Regular phrasing Irregular phrasing The extracts cover a wide range of music, featuring the likes of Joan Jett, Mahler, Primus, Jimmy Rushing, Mel Tormé, Carly Simon, Henry Mancini, Katrina & the Waves, and Blu Cantrell. The resource comes with a link to FREE audio, running for 38’20”. The bundle includes the full paper and mark scheme, plus the PDF question paper and mark scheme separately, in case you want to set it remotely. Please have a look at my shop for a wide variety of resources to support the GCSE Music course. www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/NPTJ

EIGHT PRACTICE DICTATION QUESTIONS These dictation tests were written to provide authentic examples of the 5-mark dictation questions found in Eduqas GCSE Music exams. They cover the four Areas of Study, with a focus on the focus areas announced on 7th February 2022: Romantic Music Vocal Ensembles Film Music Popular music The questions come in groups of four, one for each of the categories above, and each group of four features music by musicians whose names begin with the same letter. In this pack, the musicians’ names begin with the letters A and B. The main feature of all these shorter questions is dictation, to help students practice this type of exam question, worth five marks. I have added a few additional shorter questions, totalling three additional marks, so that every question is worth eight marks, rather than the 12 in the actual exam. As these are shorter questions, to focus on dictation, the extracts are shorter (generally 20–25 seconds long), and there is less time after the question for students to complete their answers. Each listening test is approx. 5’30"-6’00" long. This pack contains one document with questions and answers, and separate documents for just the questions (incl. YouTube links), and just the answers, in case teachers want to set the exercises as homework. The document comes complete with: YouTube links with exact timings for all musical examples Full mark scheme Perfect for printing on double-sided A3 sheets.

Ten Sample Assessments for the Eduqas A Level Area of Study D. Five Question 5s (10-mark) Five Question 6s (20-mark) Full mark schemes, and YouTube links with timings. Written by former BBC Radio 3, and current BBC Radio 2 Jazz producer. Please also see the resource “JAZZ - Ten MORE Sample Assessments”.

FOUR PRACTICE COMPARISON QUESTIONS These questions were written to provide authentic examples of the comparison questions found in Eduqas GCSE Music exams (ie finding similarities and differences between extracts). They cover all four Areas of Study. Each question contains two extracts of music. The total duration of all four tests, including silences, is 43’05", perfect for a single period assessment These questions contain music by Beethoven, Björk, Chuck Berry, Lavern Baker, Aerosmith, and more! This pack contains one document with questions and answers, and separate documents for just the questions (incl. YouTube links), and just the answers, in case teachers want to set the exercises as homework. The document comes complete with: YouTube links with exact timings for all musical examples Full mark scheme Perfect for printing on double-sided A3 sheets. Please contact the author for details of a free audio file.

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.
