Really useful for my GCSE students... It contains questions clearly laid out in the exam style and are appropriate to use for homework exercises, mock exams and general teaching/introduction to a musical style as it gives a great starting point for discussion. I felt that care had gone into making sure that the tracks used covered a range of the musical genres identified in the specification... I particularly like the fact that the questions cover a range of musical elements. A lot of my students struggle to answer questions on texture and there are a number of questions here, covering a range of different musical genres which I felt was really useful. I also like the fact that you have included a lot of the 3/4 mark questions that ask students to identify the features of the music that make it typical of Blues/Reggae etc. This is again a question that they do find difficult and so to have some ready made questions with a mark scheme is really useful... I like the fact that it gives students the option of the multiple choice answers, thus emphasising my teaching that they MUST learn all of their key vocabulary so that if it comes up as a multiple choice answer they at least recognise the term and understand what it means! They also have the option of the slightly longer questions too which is good and reflective of the actual exam paper... ,These are ready to use in the classroom, so useful! An excellent resource for students to work on as homework/independent study at home.
Broad range of questioning... Good range of extracts from the different styles... Closely linked to the types of questions currently found in exam papers... Providing students with the opportunity to answer exam questions at home is highly valuable to students and prepares them well for the examination
Very clear and concise. Easy language for students for understand with focused tasks to break up the knowledge delivery.
Excellent resource for staff and students.

Really useful both in the classroom, to use as a teaching resource, and to set as a homework task for students to work on independently to reinforce their learning and understanding. Honestly, this is the area of study that students tend to dislike the most, and so it is useful to have a ready made resource to use with them... There is a good mix of longer questions, multiple choice questions, one mark answer questions, melodic/rhythmic identification and melodic/rhythmic dictation questions... These are a great set of homework activities and really useful for students to be able to check their understanding. It also allows them to identify the areas that they then need to revise more carefully... It saves lot of time as the resource is literally ready to go! There is a balance of musical genres included in the listening tracks and this has given them good scope for reinforcing their learning and checking their musical understanding.
Really useful for teachers to set meaningful listening homework for GCSE homework without the hassle of planning and preparing these... This would make life so much easier!
The resource definitely enhances learning and gives excellent opportunities to practice and develop aural skills learned in the classroom.

Very well written, appropriately targeted and develops students aural skills very effectively for the WCT Area of Study. It caters to a demand, and will be beneficial for teachers at a time when there are limited exemplar materials and past papers for the 9-1 GCSE courses... It enables students to develop their aural skills and provides a bank of questions to aid teacher preparation... The detailed and comprehensive mark schemes also save planning time and clearly signpost to students how they can improve the language and terminology they are using to answer the exam questions... A valuable teacher resource!
