Media Reviews
Section A guides students through the theoretical aspects of the listening test by giving them the knowledge and understanding of the musical language that they require at this level. Section B gives sufficient analytical detail to be used in class and during private study, and Section C has plenty of useful, relevant examples of musical works to study and importantly, works that are easily accessible.
