- structure
- tonality
- texture
- melody
- sonority

Essential packs prepare students for Section 1 of the Appraising 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 sets of exercises packed with practice on Eduqas’s Areas of Study that gradually build in difficulty:
- Start with warm-up exercises to build confidence
- Proceed to longer-answer questions to improve technique
- Progress naturally to exam-style questions to apply knowledge
The audio files are in a pre-prepared playlist, and the web addresses are short in the pack - this will save lots of time...
As students work through each of the carefully structured tasks they will:
... I like this resource - it's a really good idea
- revise key terminology
- listen to music analytically
- improve their aural skills
- draw links between works
Answers to all questions provided – easy to set and quick to mark!

What do teachers say about this resource? (9617)
This resource has been invaluably useful to me as I wasn't sure where to start when delivering the Eduqas specification for the first time... It takes students through the process of writing an exam level answer - so I have been able to use these resources right from the beginning of the course to ease them into more developed answers... It's great for building their confidence and helping them understand the comparative process... It's been brilliant... Really useful for students but also useful for me so that I haven't needed to plan lots of exam style questions! There is also at least one question per genre studied so we were completing them regularly.
This is a really good skills building and practice resource for students... It remains focused on the subject content throughout... It’s great that the audio files are in a pre-prepared playlist, and that the web addresses are short in the pack as this will save lots of time. The songs are appropriately chosen to allow students to experience a wide cross-section of the area of study and this gives good breadth, addressing the specification... The value of this resource is how it guides students through homework activities in order to complete exam-style listening questions... I like this resource - it's a really good idea and I'd like to see versions for the other Areas of Study too!
