Music exam strikes the right chord for candidates

MOST Leaving Certificate music students had already accumulated up to 50% of their marks from the practical element in March.

Anne Maxwell from the TUI said the CD for yesterday morning’s listening exam included a lot of helpful information. For example, it told students how long they had to complete tasks between hearing each excerpt.

She said there were no problems in the listening section of the higher or ordinary level papers, which had a balance between theory and aural questions. She said this gave them a chance to use the information they learned in class.
