miss california. Bleeding on the Floor Age: 31 Gender: Female Posts: 1140	October 6th, 2007 at 03:17pm So i'm taking GCSE music, and I figured it'd be nice to have someplace to talk to other people who have taken it too and how they're coping with the composing/performing side of it as well as the theory. Tell us what instument you're playing and stuff like that so we're all on the same page So, I'm Zoe and I play guitar.

Neesa Fabulous Killjoy Age: 30 Gender: Female Posts: 142	October 12th, 2007 at 10:29pm you can play any instrument for the exams. for the practical, you have to play a song of your choice. then you have a written paper also. i don't know a huge amount about the paper as i haven't done one yet. i am not a lot of help i know, but that is all i know about it. x
Simple and Clean Salute You in Your Grave Age: 30 Gender: Female Posts: 2616	October 13th, 2007 at 09:57am Ah, that's okay then. So you don't actually have to compose anything? So, that means you could even do it on drums?
Doodles Demolition Lover Age: 30 Gender: Female Posts: 17799	October 13th, 2007 at 10:30am I think for corsework or something you might have to compose a bit of a song. But I'm not totally sure so don't hold me down to that. As for the drums bit. Yeah, you can do it on drums. My friends is. [:
Neesa Fabulous Killjoy Age: 30 Gender: Female Posts: 142	October 14th, 2007 at 03:37pm you will have to do compostion but it is only one song and that is for your final exam you will get help don't worry!

helena24 Fabulous Killjoy Age: 29 Gender: Female Posts: 164	October 20th, 2007 at 03:36pm At my school we start our GCSE a year early, I'm in year nine. I'm playing the flute and I'm gonna be starting guitar (i hope). For homework we had to write at least a page and a half about the instruments we play and our musical interests. I wrote about a paragraph on my instrument and I spent the rest on how awesome MCR is. I love music

Simple and Clean Salute You in Your Grave Age: 30 Gender: Female Posts: 2616	April 21st, 2008 at 01:35pm I have a question... when it comes to the ensemble piece, does it have to be with someone form school, or can it be with absolutly anyone?
Tallulah Admin Age: - Gender: Female Posts: 16777215	April 24th, 2008 at 04:31am I teach some gcse music and for the edexcel exams the ensemble piece can be with anyone. It's all about your performance in the group.

facepalm. Jazz Hands Age: 30 Gender: Female Posts: 286	June 7th, 2008 at 08:06am I'm in year 9, and have chosen it for GCSE. Edexcel course. And Cancer on the piano is the most beautiful thing ever. Well, I'm exaggerating, but hell. I do piano covers for most MCR songs tho ^^ My mum is a music teacher and she wants me to do Grade 8 theory to help in preparation for the written exam >.< But hell, I'm looking forward to it. I need to learn how to work sibelius or however you spell it..
