Eduqas GCSE Music Keyword Sort

A calm and low-stakes revision activity, perfect for checking that students know which musical terms belong to each of the elements of music.

Featuring all of the musical terms listed in Appendix C of the Eduqas GCSE Music specification, this revision activity requires students to organise the 240 keywords into the 12 elements of music.

Having a secure knowledge of which musical terms can be used to describe each element of music is essential in achieving success in the Appraising exam. This is especially important when answering questions that require students to describe how a particular element of music is being used within an extract of music.

Using coloured pens/pencils or highlighters, students allocate a different colour/pattern for each of the elements of music. Then, using this as a key, they match each of the keywords to the correct musical element. Some musical terms appear multiple times in the keyword table. Where this is the case, these keywords can be used to describe more than one element of music.

This resource includes a ready-to-print, blank copy of the activity, an example of a completed keyword sort, and a version that already has a colour allocated for each of the elements of music.
