Cambridge IGCSE Music (0410) Yearly Past Papers

Cambridge IGCSE Music (0410)

When studying the Cambridge IGCSE Music syllabus, learners listen to, perform and compose music, encouraging aesthetic and emotional development, self-discipline and, importantly, creativity. As a result, learners enhance their appreciation and enjoyment of music, an achievement that forms an ideal foundation for future study and enhances life-long musical enjoyment. 

Learners study music of all styles; each style is placed in its historical and cultural context, and they are encouraged to be perceptive, sensitive and critical when listening. Although the majority of the syllabus examines Western European music, the music of other cultures is always represented.

FAQ's

In a solo performance it is the job of the accompanist to respond to the needs of the soloist; in an ensemble performance the performers are equal partners. Therefore, somebody who wanted to play a solo with piano accompaniment as an ensemble would not be demonstrating a different skill from their solo performance. However, the skills needed by the piano accompanist are quite different from those they need as a soloist, which is why piano accompaniment is allowed as an ensemble skill.

Singers being accompanied by bands (e.g. guitars and drums, jazz band, etc.) can be submitted. However, the candidate is unlikely to receive full marks in the ensemble coordination category as they are being accompanied.

The syllabus states that the total playing time should be between four and ten minutes. Moderators are looking for evidence that a candidate can perform at a particular level for a reasonably sustained period of time.

The syllabus explains that duos are allowed provided the candidate’s part demonstrates genuine ensemble skills and could not also be counted as a solo.

Conducting is not acceptable because moderators would not be able to identify what the candidate was doing from just the audio recording.

The decision is ultimately up to the centre. If a rap performance is the only thing that the candidate is able or prepared to do then it may be submitted, but the centre should be aware that performances of this nature are unlikely to meet the assessment criteria. DJing is not acceptable.

The syllabus does not recommend a minimum grade requirement but states that candidates should perform music that is appropriate, in its technical and musical demands, to their stage of development at the time of the examination. However, the syllabus does give guidance on the mark levels and the difficulty of music required, with reference to grades.

A group of candidates can perform one piece of music and each be assessed individually as long as their parts are not consistently doubled. The paperwork should clearly identify which candidate is playing which part.

Tab, or tablature, is acceptable as notation.

A performance may include improvisation as long as it is clearly stylistically appropriate and enhances the performance. Use the comments box on the mark sheet to indicate that the changes were intentional.

The syllabus states that a copy of the sheet music of performances must be submitted for all pieces where it is available in print. If the candidate has intentionally altered their performance from the sheet music this must be clearly indicated. The teacher should take account of any alteration, which makes a piece easier to play, in the marking.

This is acceptable. The syllabus states that if the candidate has intentionally altered their performance from the sheet music, this must be clearly indicated. The teacher should take account of any alteration, which makes a piece easier to play, in the marking.

Candidates can record their performances outside of school but the teacher must be fully confident in authenticating the work. It is recommended that the candidate is asked to play their own part to the teacher in person so it is clear that it is the candidate performing on the recording.

The deadlines and methods for submission are in the Cambridge Handbook.

In the event that sheet music is not readily available, this does not need to be provided. However, teachers will need to provide comments to support their mark for accuracy. Additionally, submitting original recordings of songs for reference along with candidate’s work is not required or allowed.

This is acceptable, assuming the centre is confident that the piece allows the candidate to demonstrate their best performing.

There is no maximum or minimum length for IGCSE compositions.

Candidates do not have to perform what they compose. However, the syllabus states that it is essential that candidates hear their compositions in performance, even if it cannot be done with the exact forces intended. Recordings of live performances (even if they are not note-perfect) give moderators a much better impression of the music than performances generated from music technology (e.g. music notation programs or sequencers). However, if it is impossible to record a live performance, sequenced versions may be submitted.

The syllabus states that candidates must submit two contrasting compositions, written for different instruments and/or voices. If both pieces are written for identical instruments/voices, a mark of 0 in the Use of Medium category must be awarded for composition 2.

Provided that any improvised section is not unduly long in proportion to the total length of the composition, it would be acceptable in certain musical contexts, although it will not be taken into account in determining a mark for score presentation and notation.

Although we do not actively encourage the submission of single-line pieces, we would not wish to discourage an able candidate from submitting any piece which allows all the assessment criteria to be fulfilled, which includes single-line pieces. However, compositions that maintain a single musical texture will often display a lack of compositional understanding. Candidates who have submitted single-line pieces in the past have often appeared not to appreciate the difficulty of the task.

If pre-composed ‘loops’ are used then the candidate would have to receive 0 marks for ideas. Marks might be awarded for the structure of their compositions and for their use of the chosen medium, and also possibly for compositional technique, although that involves making assumptions about the extent of the candidate's own input. It would also be 0 marks for notation if there is no score.
