What do teachers say about this resource? (8402)

Extremely helpful and well put together... I will find this resource very useful for my students not just in its content but in the organisation of it... Not only is the content useful and well presented, there are many other sections that are useful including terminology, advice how to tackle essay questions, musical examples, and historical context. There are engaging activities for the students, sample questions with answers, and information to help teachers and students understand the mark scheme. The revision table is also presented in a clear and helpful way that will be of particular benefit to the students...
