Getting Started with GCSE Edexcel Music

Perfect for pupils with no classical/theory training

All the theory needed for the Unit 3 exam, incorporating all the set works. Bridge the gap from KS3 Music and prepare students for GCSE studies. Each concept is fully explained, keywords defined, listening examples given, with engaging activities to reinforce learning.

This is genius! I am overwhelmed by the enormous scope for usage of this resource. Overwhelmed. I also like the fact that most sheets are in 'worksheet' style and can be used individually and out of context. A William-Jones, Head of Expressive Arts & Independent Reviewer

Particularly suitable for students who have had no formal music instruction, or whose theory skills lag behind their playing abilities.

  • Covers every area of study and set work
  • AfL opportunities, including evaluation grids at the end of each section
  • Also supports Controlled Assessment – includes performing and composing activities
Excellent resource! Outstanding! Supports basic knowledge and understanding at KS4. V James, Music Teacher & Independent Reviewer
