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. If you require any additional materials to help you deliver this resource, please ask: Olivia@sparkhall.org.uk

This resource is intended to be used alongside the Edexcel GCSE (9-1) Music Student Book. Students should read pages 2-19 and then define the key words (the words in bold) by filling in the gaps in the sentences. The resource consists of one worksheet (20 questions) and an answer sheet. 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).

This is a ‘getting started’ activity for the Beethoven set work. The students need to watch a particular video on YouTube and answer some questions based on what they see and hear. The resources consists of five pages: three question pages and two answer sheets. Notes on resource: I created this resource as a ‘getting started’ activity for study of the Beethoven set work. It is a way of ensuring the students listen to the recording and, by watching the video, they can begin to understand the piece. This resource is linked to Edexcel specimen paper questions where a question was asked about the roles of the left and right hands, as well as about other elements of music including texture.

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.
