I am currently
following the EdExcel A Level Syllabus. My major at university
was historical analysis - particularly 20th century music.
Thus, I taught Paper 4 'History and Analysis' last year. This
year I shall be teaching the Aural Paper for the current 'Practical
A Level' and the new EdExcel AS course. |
