AQA A Level Music 2016-2018

Hi!
Just wondering if anyone else is doing A level music? There doesn't seem to be a thread for the new course, so I'd thought I'd start one!

Sorry you've not had any responses about this. 
Are you sure you've posted in the right place? 
Here's a link to our subject forum which should help get you more responses if you post there. 
Just quoting in Fox Corner so she can move the thread if needed

Weβre doing pop music and musicals (as well as the compulsory classical music) because our teacher knows musicals better than music for media (I was thinking of doing that). Iβm o AQA board, you?

How are you guys finding it? My teacher just keeps saying how we don't have enough resources, and seems to be a bit in the dark about it all

Hi all!
Good to know that I'm not the only one doing this board! I agree that there has obviously been a problem what with the very limited resources we have been given (not to mention the quality of the textbooks!).
I am doing Art Music since 1910 and Music for Media as the optional Areas of Study. I would really appreciate it if anyone had some advice on essay writing/technique for the 30-marker in Section C
How is everyone feeling/ preparing for the exam?

I'm doing pop music and music for media too. The essays are a nightmare, I can't actually remember enough scenes to deal with all the potential questions they might ask (music for media.) Any tips?

I'm doing the same! I'm conflicted as to whether I should do the art music section c or music for media, I'm worried that they may ask about specifically chamber music if I do the art music question as I've only studied one piece compared to 3 orchestral ones

So is anyone else at a complete loss with AQA music? I'm doing Pop and Jazz for Section A, Baroque and Romantic Piano for Section B, and just Pop for Section C. Haven't got a clue what I'm doing...

It's really hard to have any idea what they are going to ask on the essay. I think its unrealistic to expect people to know enough film scenes (music for media) to be able to write a 30 mark essay with no resources. How are you supposed to write a good quality essay which could have very few applications to the film scenes I have studied/can remember? Trying to remember approx 15-20+ film scenes and the music is not really possible.
