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!

The questions are concise and well structured for Edexcel

R Brown, Teacher & Expert Reviewer







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

Just the right level of difficulty with a nice mixture of easier and more challenging questions.... Nice to see several activities per homework, breaking down the tasks well

R Brown, Teacher & Expert 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!
