Music marking schemes

swatch

Hey there,
I'm in 6th year and doing music in school. We're behind big time in school so I'm working ahead myself as I've been playing music since I was 3 and have a general idea of what the course is about. I was doing some papers today and went to correct them on examinations.ie but the marking schemes for particularly the aural question which is question 6 don't give the answers. They just say
Style: Any correct description of style as heard in the excerpt. etc. etc!

Just wondering does anyone know any sites where I could get some actual answers?

Thanks in advance

I was annoyed by that as well, so I started handing my exam questions up to my teacher to correct them for me. I don't know if there's any sites that would have more specific answers than the marking scheme, but to me it seems fairly unlikely.

An aside: Quite often, one of the Q6 pieces will be of the same style as one of the set works. For example, with the set B works, it's quite likely that a Classical or Romantic piece will come up. If, for example, Romantic, this will have the same features as Symphonie Fantastique, so learn a few of those off (rich instrumentation, etc - there's a big list, pick 4 or 5 I suppose) and you should be set. Also worth learning some general features of 20th Century music (ie Seachanges) as this also came up one year.

Thanks a mill for those tips, I'll be sure to know some of those features ......dunno about giving it up to my teacher :S she'd probably eat my head off saying I'm not capable of working ahead myself:mad: oh well!!
