Hi all,

I was wondering if there is anyone on here studying the new Edexcel AS Music course and is interested in exchanging suggestions for wider listening if they need more before the exam on Monday.

Don't worry, you have A2 and that is the same works plus six more!
Those look great as well, there's fantasia by Stravinsky, quite fun going through the score. Plus a bit of Beatles and you get to do Psycho for film music.

How did it go?

I loved the paper pretty much, loved that question 5

I hope you did well too, you'll probably have been able to incorporate all of that plus what you remember because it was a great paper pretty much.

You probably don't more suggestions for A2 but I can give you tons if you need it.
