Edexcel GCSE Music 2015/2016 Official Thread

I took this exam last year.

If I can find it I'll post a pretty good revision booklet that I got sent last year for you all if you want?

Good luck guys! Any questions feel free to ask.

Hey! Firstly thanks for those resources ,
1. Favorite: And The Glory Of The Lord (Closely followed by Something's Coming)
2. Least Favorite: Rag Desh
3. Most confident: And The Glory Of The Lord
4. Lest confident: Rag Desh (If you look carefully you may be able to see a relation between how much I like it and how confident I am in it!)
5. Regret?: Um... Sorry for starting this thread off on such a negative note, but yes, yes I do, very much. It is easily my worst subject, by far .
6. Revising yet?: I plan to start soon... *cue inevitable procrastination*

Predictions? I'm hoping for Handel, but we never know. https://imgur.com/bRSNhbP - This seems relevant, but it was wrong for 2015, it seems Edexcel are mixing it up . Oh and last years revision threads are also quite useful.

Anyon got any good methods of revision? I've got mr tights for all set works and questions on quizlet
Any ideas would be amazing

Music going well! 60/60 on performances and 55/60 on composition.

1 Favourite Set Piece - Chopin. Sounds much better than the others and is enjoyable to revise

2 Least Favourite Set Piece - Rag Desh/Peripetie. Cause idk why it's even music

3 Most Confident Set Piece - Moby

4 Least Confident Set Piece - Capercaillie

5 Do You Regret Taking Music? - Yeah. Listening is incredibly boring

6 Have You Started Revising Yet - For a couple of months now

How are we supposed to structure the essay? Is it just two points per bullet point with some musical terminology? My teacher says they mark us down on points we miss, not up on points we get but not sure if she's being accurate

Generally, they mark you on points you've made but not exactly. Do you want me to post an example of an A*(10/10) essay? If so, let me know which set work and I can easily do it for you.

That would be great, thanks. Could you do one on Capercaillie?

Here's Capercaille! I've included everything so obviously you would only be asked about five of these elements.

Thank you! Puts my mind to ease compared to the insane amount our teacher would have us write for 10 marks
