The resource is very detailed and thorough, covering every aspect of analysis of The Clock... Comprehensively explains everything that students need to know. The questioning is effective and gives lots of options for both students and teachers. A very detailed analysis with exam style questions which matches the new specification very well. As a non specialist in classical music, this resource will be extremely helpful for me to plan my analysis lessons.
