The beat speeds up and the music grows louder. Which description fits?

• Tempo rises and dynamics grow louder
• Dynamics rise and texture thins
• Tempo holds and instruments change

What order should a report follow when describing what happened in a piece?

• The alphabetical sequence of instrument names
• The sequence of preferences, from favourite to least liked
• The sequence of musical events from start to finish

Saying only whether you liked a piece counts as describing its musical events.

One tune continues at the same speed and volume. A different tune enters alongside it. What happens to the texture?

• It thins as the first tune stops
• It thickens as a distinct tune joins
• It disappears as both tunes fall silent

Halfway through a piece, the drums stop and only a violin continues. The beat stays steady. What explains this turning point?

• The drums stop, leaving the violin alone
• The beat speeds up as the violin continues
• A singer enters to join the violin

After a loud full-group section, the main tune returns softly on flute alone. Which judgement uses a supplied musical event as evidence?

• It felt busy because new instruments joined.
• It felt rushed because the beat sped up.
• It felt gentle because the flute played softly.

Listening notes say: the beat stays steady, flutes replace violins, and the opening tune returns. Which summary matches all three?

• Tempo stays steady; instruments change; the tune returns.
• Tempo speeds up; instruments stay the same; the tune returns.
• Tempo holds; instruments change; the tune is new.

A report covers the opening, a new entry and a change in that order. It omits the opening tune's later return. What would improve the report?

• Replace the events with a guess about the composer
• Add the return at its actual later point
• Group the return with the opening to show their similarity
