Re: Edexcel GCSE music 2012Sub-bass is frequencies below 90Hz(Original post by marcotam)
Hey guys,
I need help answering this question: What is a sub bass and why is it often used in dance music?
It's about the Moby and I don't know the answer
Used in dance music because it can be felt as well as heard

Re: Edexcel GCSE music 2012Improvised - all the solos in All Blues are.(Original post by panic king)
Does anyone know if the sax solos in all blues are improvised or precomposed? Thanks -
Re: Edexcel GCSE music 2012Wow it seems so impossible(Original post by ColUWill)
Improvised - all the solos in All Blues are.

Re: Edexcel GCSE music 2012Thank you(Original post by ColUWill)
Remember that, and also that they're all Virtuosic performances. I imagine that'd help you pick up a mark somewhere XD
Is anyone learning the chord progressions for Grace?? Thank you

Re: Edexcel GCSE music 2012I've learnt them limitedly, they all follow a pattern and if they're presented to us in the exam, it'll only be to fill in 3 or so, meaning you'd recognise what to put if you just skim learn them. They try to be as helpful as they can in the questions(Original post by panic king)
Thank you

Re: Edexcel GCSE music 2012Thanks, so are yours though!(Original post by lizz-ie)
A* is 56/60 raw marks for performance.
A* is 54/60 raw marks for composition.
Both are 81/90 UMS for A*.
The whole qualification is out of 300, and you need 270 UMS overall for A*.
Your marks are amazing! I got 58 for performance and 54 for composition.
May I ask what grade you are on whatever instrument you played? Oh and what did you play for your performances?
I played the drums and I'm technically grade 5 but on drums I don't think that means much! I played a grade 4 piece though. For my ensemble performance I played the drums with my band to a song I wrote. You can listen to my band on Soundcloud (www.soundcloud.com/humiband) if you want
Make sure you download our two songs for free if you do! And good luck tomorrow

Re: Edexcel GCSE music 2012I played piano for both :') for my solo, I played River Flows in You by Yiruma, and for the ensemble, I accompanied someone who was playing Can You Feel the Love Tonight? Good luck to you too! I'm so worried :/(Original post by VTZLifeForever)

Re: Edexcel GCSE music 2012I've just been practising writing them out over and over. They are such a pain to learn.(Original post by LethalBeans)

Re: Edexcel GCSE music 2012You know how the second vocal sample in Moby is in A minor, but harmonised to feel like C major, what if it asks us if it's major or minor in the exam? Like if it's a tick box thing? D:(Original post by iCiaran)
Good luck everyone here, did this last year so I might be able to answer a couple of questions you have, and sorry for not having a question on Rag Desh, because you guys are pretty much guaranteed one now
