Useful for KS3 and GCSE

Devising suitable homework can often prove challenging and time-consuming. This pack offers a bank of carefully prepared and varied activities providing balanced coverage of the KS3 National Curriculum for Music.

Easy-to-use mark scheme

The homework sheets are mainly comprehension-based with an easy-to-use mark scheme to allow teachers to mark the work quickly or students to mark their own work at the beginning of the lesson. The homework sheets can be dipped into or used alongside the KS3 Music Listening Exercises. The homeworks can also be adapted for use with GCSE students.
