True, and sometimes exam boards allow other things if it was unclear i was told once... so if a lot of people said soprano...they may think hmm perhaps it was unclear okay accept it!

i noticed for that who is singing question that there was 2 marks so they were probably looking for 2 things which is why i wrote soprano (female) - hopefully i'll get the female mark...twas a female right lol?

ok I'll give my take on the questions -
i put 92 bpm
i put imitation for the singers
i said word setting was melissma to add expression
and dynamics i said piano to mezzo forte to forte

ooh dear what's melissma?

no idea

92 bpm?!?
really :frown:

i put 32
how do you tell?

Hello,

For the question in AOS3 for Clubdance, naming the technological effects, would

Wavering
Panning
Use of flange
Echo
Reverb
Filtering

be good enough for the 6 marks.

Also, was Q3 minimalism, Q4 experimental music & Q5 serialism? (I hope they were!)

Thanks
