Same here... Although I'm only just realising I may need to count music for points, cos i don't think English and Maths went too great... Balls. All that effing Irish music for the essay... I might just leave it out and focus on the set works...0 -

for the composing paper, if you think the key is minor how do you find out what key it actually is??
Figure out what the key would be if it was major, and then go to the 6th note of it's scale (or count back 3). That's the name of your new key. Another way to check is to find the accidental in the piece and go up one semitone from that (eg if there's a g#, go up 1 semitone and you get A, so it's A minor. Or you see the key signature says C major: count up to the 6th note of the scale C D E F G A
for modulating do you go to the dominant, and which is the dominant?
Yes you do. The dominant is the 5th note of the scale. If you're in G major, count up 5 to find the dominant: G A B C D E F# The new key is D Major0 -

so what did everyone think?
the listening paper was great i thought, the beatles as the main question, couldn't have been better!
the irish music was pretty straightforward too, the essays were pretty good.
composing was handy too, no evil minor keys or anything to worry about.
overall i'm chuffed
if only it was my last exam...!0 -

Twas all grand! Especially considering I did no study at all The listening was grand, except the last part. My essay was pretty class, I just talked about ornamentation on the fiddle. The last listening question was annoying. Fun! Now I'm finished forever! 0
