Riassunto

This study guide can be used throughout the Edexcel A2 Music course as an effective supplement to your schoolwork. It is designed to be interactive: there is plenty of space for you to add your own margin notes and there are regular questions to help you check that you have understood what you have read. Using this guide will help you focus on what is important in each unit of your A2 Music course, and sample questions at the end of each section provide exam practice as the final weeks approach. The detailed information on the Areas of Study is written by experts in a clear and approachable style. They examine how to study music to the depth required for A2 and discuss the type of responses the examiners will look for. The Set Works for 2010 to 2012 are analysed closely, providing a clear and concise outline of the context of each of the specified works together with their key features. There are sections on performing, developing music ideas, listening and understanding, specialist options, performing and composing, and analysing music. There is guidance on essay writing including sample essays.
