‘Getting Started’, which supplements the specification and the sample assessment materials, provides special help for teachers preparing students for the new GCE Music specification. For ease of reference and clarity, ‘Getting Started’ comes in two parts. Part 1 consists of ‘helpful hints' on teaching, learning and assessment for each unit. Part 2 has ‘exemplar material’ for all units, to help demonstrate the standard. For performance and composition, the marked examples of work come complete with downloadable scores and recordings.
