What do teachers say about this resource? (9365)

A great resource – very accessible and visually appealing, with lots of useful tips and unexpected gems about voice I hadn’t considered. The idea to have semi-completed and completed versions of the A3 pages is genius! In terms of educational value, it’s a bit like a pocket guide – very clear and concise, without overwhelming you! Definitely something I’d want to bring out again and again to refer to/revise with. The A3 pages are easy to read/use – not too crowded with information. Every time I went back to look at the resource again, I spotted something I hadn’t seen before!

I think this resource is great, it's energy and enthusiasm lifts off the page. It educated me on the voice and I have learnt lots from it and I think it will do the same for students. I think its of an excellent standard and ready to go, great for photocopying and everything well developed and ready to go

An extremely useful resource. Vocal skills are always a weakness for students and this resource keeps what they have to learn simple and easy to revise

K Brown, HoD & Peer Reviewer

This resource is very versatile. It could be beneficial to include as revision resources but equally would make an excellent classrooms display. The layout makes it easy for students to take in the key information without being overwhelmed. I like the fact that the information is linked to example exercises that can be used in rehearsals or as warm-ups. The pages offer lots of visuals as well to appeal to different learning styles. There are clear links to the AQA exam specification and suggested ways to use the exercises and information for each key component
