Your first task is to read the specification carefully! https://www.eduqas.co.uk/media/bwjls2p4/eduqas-a-level-music-spec-from-2016-d.pdf

 Read through the List of Musical Terms (Appendix C) and highlight any words you don’t understand. Learn the words you don’t already know.

A Level Music requires the in-depth study of certain pieces of music, which are determined by the exam board. Your set works are; Symphony No. 104 in D major, 'London': Haydn Symphony No. 4 in A major, 'Italian': Mendelssohn The Haydn can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kg6Q9tkHOw0

And the Mendelssohn, here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xI8IzIKGslA

Compose an 8 bar melody with a simple accompaniment. This can be done using a keyboard, or computer notation software - whatever you have available!

Do as much instrumental/vocal practice as possible, as your Year 12 initial assessment will include a solo performance! (Apologies that the word “practising” is spelt wrongly in the diagram below, but the message is abundantly clear!)
