Vocabulary

atbell1 — 2026-06-24 20:06:38 UTC

Highlight in one colour the vocabulary you are confident with, and in another the vocab that you have heard of but wouldn't necessarily be confident explaining to someone. Don't be put off - we have two years to learn all of these!

Performance

atbell1 — 2026-06-24 20:09:05 UTC

Prepare a piece to perform to the group when we come back in September. Any instrument, any genre and I promise you don't have to climb into the piano to perform it like the dude in the picture.

Listen to three symphonies

atbell1 — 2026-06-24 20:14:06 UTC

Read the attached PDF about the development of the symphony then choose three to listen to - an early Classical symphony (1750-1795), a late Classical/early Romantic symphony (1795-1820) and a late Romantic symphony (1850-1890). Write 500 words on each symphony with detail about the composer, and how it relates to the stylistic guides on pages 3 and 6.
