What do teachers say about this resource? (10748)

The questions are accurately exam based reflecting good knowledge of the prescriptive work.

The exercises are well worded and succinct. The practice exam questions (after each exercise) model real exam situation well. The questions are well structured. There is a nice variety of activity types using staff notation and text, clearly mirroring Eduqas exam methodology.

The author has a good clear style of writing and manages to include as much information as possible with no wasted text. There is much A level learning in quite a small resource here.

The technical design of the resource is clearly well thought out and the author has consolidated the key elements of Haydn’s 104st symphony. The resource breaks down and categorises the learning effectively providing a strong resource for learners.

Good consistency of quality analysis throughout the resource.

Really excellent knowledge of the selected music question examples and music theory.

The author uses several sections to illustrate musical points reinforcing an element or device or musical technicality in different symphonic movement music contexts. Very good concise writing, which will benefit learners’ understanding of the symphony genre.

The author demonstrates excellent symphonic music knowledge and the level of questioning at A level standard is well judged.

The resource is a very strong learning document on how to tackle symphonic prescribed ques music in a wider context moving from one element to the next with clear examples to demonstrate fusion music technique.

I would most definitely use this resource in the Eduqas A level curriculum.
