REVISION GUIDE YEAR 7 Summer 2018
MUSIC
HEAD OF DEPARTMENT: MISS A ABIS
Exam Length: The exam takes place during lessons in the first half of the Summer Term. The total duration is four periods.
Exam Structure: Part One: Composing This will take place during the first two periods of the summer term. Part Two: Performing This will take place during the following two periods.
Exam content:
Using the C major scale and crotchet and minim note durations, you will compose a
four bar melody. The task will be explained and demonstrated by the teacher before
you start. You will receive a worksheet on which to compose your melody. You have
two periods in which to do this.
You will then perform the melody you have composed in front of the class during the
following two periods. You will only perform once and you will listen to each other’s
performances. There is a simple accompaniment which the teacher will play at the
same time.
You will be assessed on your ability to compose a melody using crotchets and
minims. You will also be assessed on your ability to perform your melody confidently.
The teacher will play the accompaniment part, and you will be assessed on your
ability to play in time with the accompaniment (i.e. without rushing ahead or slowing
down).
Exam tips
o Bring good quality pencils with a sharpener and a rubber to lessons. You must
be able to edit your work easily so you should not use pen. Your note writing
must be clear, so you should ensure your pencils are sharp.
o As you are composing your melody, ensure you can also play it. Using step-
wise movement (notes next to each other) and small leaps will work best.
Avoid using lots of wide leaps which are tricky to play and will make the
melody sound disjointed.

o Make sure you have caught up on any notes that you may have missed through
absence. Go over your notes and the relevant sections of your text book.
o Use the unit checklists in your book to make sure that you have covered everything.
o Write yourself notes on key points – use colour. Include formulae, units and correct
scientific words.
o Try to think of new situations where you can apply the ideas you have learnt eg the
forces acting on a diver before and after she hits the water and the energy transfers
involved.
o Practise answering questions. You can use worksheets and test sheets that you
already have and/or make up your own questions. Use your notes to check your
answers. Ask someone in the family to test you.
o In the examination, make sure that you read the question carefully and include all the
relevant facts. Look at the number of marks for a question to check that you have
included enough detail.
A useful website for revision with information, quizzes and activities is
http://www.bbc.co.uk/education/subjects/zh2xsbk You can find this by searching BBC
Bitesize KS3 Physics. Useful sections are fuels and energy resources, energy transfers and
