National 5 Music

In 2024, the National 5 music course assessment is comprised of 3 components-  

A performance on 2 instruments will be assessed on the 21st March (worth 50%)  

A composition and review which must be completed by 9th February (worth 15%) 

A listening examination which is taking place on the 24th April this year (worth 35%). 

Pupils are expected to practise both instruments regularly to build their skills for the final exam. This should account for 1-2 hours per week at National 5 level. 

Pupils should be revising the concepts covered in class weekly using presentations and past papers provided on our Microsoft S4-6 Music Team. They can also use the platforms "MyMusicOnline" and/or "Achieve" platforms (links below) to support their revision at home.
