material in their exercise books and also mastering the practical skills acquired in the course

of Year 7.

complete as many questions from your revision packs as you can

learn all the formulae that you need

write “flash cards” for key points and formulae

show all of your working and be clear

round your answer where necessary

write in the appropriate units

read a question two or three times if you are unsure what it is asking

just take that first step if struggling to access a tough question

Good luck and remember that we are here to help you.


MUSIC

HEAD OF DEPARTMENT: MISS A ABIS

Exam Length: The exam takes place during lessons in the first half of the Summer Term. The total duration is four periods.

Exam Structure: Part One: Composing This will take place during the first two periods of the summer term. Part Two: Performing This will take place during the following two periods.

Exam content:

Using the C major scale and crotchet and minim note durations, you will compose a

four bar melody. The task will be explained and demonstrated by the teacher before

you start. You will receive a worksheet on which to compose your melody. You have

two periods in which to do this.

You will then perform the melody you have composed in front of the class during the

following two periods. You will only perform once and you will listen to each other’s

performances. There is a simple accompaniment which the teacher will play at the

same time.

You will be assessed on your ability to compose a melody using crotchets and

minims. You will also be assessed on your ability to perform your melody confidently.

The teacher will play the accompaniment part, and you will be assessed on your

ability to play in time with the accompaniment (i.e. without rushing ahead or slowing

down).

Exam tips

o Bring good quality pencils with a sharpener and a rubber to lessons. You must

be able to edit your work easily so you should not use pen. Your note writing

must be clear, so you should ensure your pencils are sharp.

o As you are composing your melody, ensure you can also play it. Using step-

wise movement (notes next to each other) and small leaps will work best.

Avoid using lots of wide leaps which are tricky to play and will make the

melody sound disjointed.

already have and/or make up your own questions. Use your notes to check your

answers. Ask someone in the family to test you.

o In the examination, make sure that you read the question carefully and include all the

relevant facts. Look at the number of marks for a question to check that you have

included enough detail.

A useful website for revision with information, quizzes and activities is
