A very useful resource which will help all Music GCSE and A Level students without a doubt. It is also useful beyond those qualifications for Grades exams and to all performers keen to develop their talent... The presentation is clear and helpful... Clear and comprehensive.
A really good idea as the performance element of a music exam is the one that students often struggle with the most... I really like the pauses in the resource that ask the student to stop, take stock and reflect on what they have to do for their performance... I think the layout and presentation are nice and clear. It is great to see such a streamlined and uncluttered resource.
This is a well-written resource. Everything is clearly and succinctly explained... Excellent suggestions and activities for students to follow and complete, regarding all aspects of the performance component. I particularly liked the performance anxiety tasks, as these are suggestions which may not be made/covered at school.
