It can be difficult to know where to start with teaching a GCSE syllabus: there are so many different parts to get to grips with. You might feel that you need to get cracking straight away with areas of study, set works, and composing. However, another way of planning the course is to start with an immersive investigation of the elements of music. By doing this, you can build up a broad and solid base of knowledge and skills that can give your students what they need - including confidence - to tackle coursework and exam content successfully.
