Eduqas GCSE Music – 20 Quick Questions – AoS1 Musical Forms and Devices – Practice Paper / Mock Exam

AN END-OF-UNIT PRACTICE PAPER, COMPRESSED INTO ONE LESSON

A quick (53’) exam-practice sample assessment containing 20 separate pieces of music, that can be done within one (60’) lesson.

This paper focuses on Area of Study 1: Musical Forms and Devices, and includes essays, dictation and comparisons.

20 separate extracts of music covering all topics within Area of Study 1

• 5 Questions on JS Bach’s Badinerie
• 5 Questions on Baroque Music
• 5 Questions on Classical Music
• 5 Questions on Romantic Music

Questions include:

• 3 Dictation questions
• 3 Comparison questions
• 3 Essay questions (1 x Baroque, 1 x Classical, 1 x Romantic)

Each question is worth five marks, rather than the usual 12, and contains shorter extracts, each played twice.

This is perfect as an end-of-unit assessment, to give students practice at exam questions, but testing them on just one Area of Study.

This TES bundle includes:

• PDF of all 20 Questions and Mark Scheme
• PDF of just the 20 Questions (in case you need to set these remotely)
• PDF of just the Mark Scheme (ditto)
• Information about accessing the audio

Extracts include music by Haydn, Fauré, Vivaldi, Berlioz, Stamitz, Dvorak and Ditters von Dittersdorf.

This would also work well for Year 10s, as an introduction to exam-style questioning.

A full, free, audio file is available from the author.
