What do teachers say about this resource? (11980)

The quality of writing is superb… The level of depth and detail, analytical use of musical language and extensiveness of explanations, analyses and exam responses are exceptional... This is an excellent example of how to analyse music, articulate musical language and give detailed explanations of musical points in relation to the set works and to unfamiliar listening... Knowledge of the specification and of music is exceptional - highly professional and comprehensive analyses with consistently accurate responses... A lot of time, effort, research and care has gone into this resource. I feel it is the best I have seen in all the reviews that I have completed. The information for students, the musical language, the incredibly helpful suggested listening composers and repertoire will all make a valuable contribution to the acquiring of knowledge required for A Level students... What a brilliant resource!
