Coursework

Students should have handed in 2
compositions and recorded 2 performances.
EXAM
The final exam is on Tuesday 4th June (PM)
The exam is 1 hour 30 minutes in duration.
The first hour is a listening section of the
exam. Students will listen to music from a
range of different genres and will be asked
questions about key features of the music.
Some questions are worth 1 or 2 marks - It is really important that students understand the different musical elements to be able to access these. They can’t describe the dynamics if they don’t know what dynamics are!
Some questions require the students to work something out musically as they listen. For example, matching notation/tab or a rhythm to what they can hear or filling in missing notes.
There are also more contextually based questions. These will ask about key features of specific musical elements. Students need a broader understanding of these different genres to be able to answer these effectively.
EXAM
The second section of the exam is a 30 minute
section based on the set works that the students
have been studying.
Haydn: Symphony No. 101 in D major, The Clock,
Movement 2.
The Beatles: Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds, With
a Little Help from my Friends, and Within You,
Without You.
How can you support?Listen to the set works at home:
Haydn: Symphony No. 101 in D major, The Clock, Movement 2.The Beatles: Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds, With a Little Help from my Friends, and Within You, Without You.Also listen to as many different styles of music as you can so that students get used to hearing them.
Discuss the pieces:You may not know all of the information about the pieces but ask students about what instruments they can hear, what technology the Beatles used, how Haydn used musical elements in The Clock.
Create revision resources:Students have PPs on the set works and revision notes. I will give them example 2 and 8 mark questions and also other resources to support. Flashcards – Test them using these once they are made.
Flashcard example – Haydn
Tonality
Whole symphony = D major
2nd Movement = G Major – modulates
to G Minor then back to G Major. (8 bars of
Eb major also)
