What do teachers say about this resource? (6752)
It would be an invaluable resource for someone teaching the new A level because of the lack of other resources available and the sheer breadth which is very important now. As well as a general introduction to film music, the analyses of the three films are excellent.
There should be more material of this standard and quality available for teachers of Music at all levels. It is an inspiration.
An impressive work which demonstrates excellent knowledge, a wealth of appropriate vocabulary and significant relevant content to support students in appreciating, understanding and analysing the set works for this Area of Study. The quality of writing is excellent... There is a significant amount of relevant and accurate analytical detail on each cue within the 3 films. Excellent knowledge and information on stylistic features of composers and compositions.
Extremely thorough analysis of each work... Nothing will give students more help in preparing these pieces.
A very comprehensive and thoroughly researched document. Lots of information for the teacher to display and yet valuable opportunities for students to employ their independent learning skills. Good links to wider listening.
It will save you hours of work.
Really useful for planning as it provides lots of in-depth information for teachers to extract for their pupils... Key themes are broken down into manageable chunks and it is written in a very clear and detailed way... Enables me to plan without having to analyse scores and do tones of research! It provides plenty of information regarding content and key thematic ideas whilst stimulating debate through analysis of these themes – high challenge but accessible... It is a fantastic starting point to teach a unit of work without having to analyse scores straight away.
