Hm, so I noticed that there wasn't a Music A-level thread. Obviously this is a tragedy and it would be great if we had a thread to discuss ideas, share resources, and help one another with aural analysis, set works, compositions, bach chorales and performance tasks.
Anyone else agree?

Your exam looks way harder, probably why it counts for less. We don't have as many marks given for essays, ours is mostly shorter easy answers
