Music to the ears as Junior Cert paper contains no surprises
Miriam Ross for the Association of Secondary Teachers Ireland (ASTI) said both the higher and ordinary level papers were very accessible. She said they tested students’ prior knowledge, as well as their ability to apply their general listening skills.
At both levels, students seemed happy with the appearance of Bizet’s Farandole. For those doing higher level, Ms Ross said, songs from musicals and operas would have been a welcome choice given the popularity of musicals in recent years.
