Take the mystery out of unfamiliar listening!

Essential packs prepare students for Question 5 (Section B) of the exam. Students can’t know what music will come up in the exam, but they can have all of the analytical tools at their disposal!

Each resource contains 10 exercises packed with practice on each of Edexcel’s Areas of Study that gradually build in difficulty:

  1. Start with warm-up exercises to build confidence
  2. Proceed to longer-answer questions to improve technique
  3. Progress naturally to exam-style questions to apply knowledge

A worthwhile resource to have as a revision tool but also as a teaching aid...

...[it] provides a plethora of suggested activities and tasks...

...could be used as homework activities... as starters or even the main basis of an analysis lesson

C White, HoD & Peer Reviewer

As students work through each of the carefully structured tasks they will:

  • revise key terminology
  • listen to music analytically
  • improve their aural skills
  • draw links between works

Easy to set and quick to mark!

Area of Study 2: Instrumental Music

Give students crucial practice for this wide-ranging topic with a pack that covers a multitude of instrumental styles, forms and genres by composers from Handel to Poulenc.
