What do teachers say about this resource? (8567)
I liked that fact that it covered the strands of the Western Classical tradition 1650-1910 and closely followed the AQA specification by closely analysing key works associated with each of the strands (Handel, Haydn/Mozart/Beethoven, Chopin/Schumann and Romantic requiems).
Lots of very useful resources included.
Within this resource, I particularly liked the inclusion of the What to listen for table on page 8 - this, I thought, gave students a really clear and concise list of musical elements and features to listen out for and identify when listening and also to revise from.
I also really liked the revision tables... These have been excellent revision resources and lend themselves to students using these to create their own mind maps and revision materials.
