First class... An excellent guide. Will be beneficial to all on the course. Matches the specification exactly. Not only is this a fabulous resource in itself, but it can be used to familiarise students with terms in a lively and informative manner.

All of this is displayed with clarity and an informative and friendly manner.
The written quality is excellent – it is very engaging and interesting, and easy to understand. Covers all elements of the piece succinctly, and in a clear layout for students studying this for the first time or as a revision aid. Plenty of detail, but also the potential for simpler tasks for teachers to be able to differentiate well.
