What do teachers say about this resource? (9776)

Clear and concise and presented entirely appropriately for this level... The analysis is presented very clearly in bite-size chunks, always with clear and easy-to-find meanings of key words and music terminology... The activities are appropriate for this level and consolidate learning very well.. The analysis is at a simple level – a very good example of how to present the material to the low – mid range ability students.
