YEAR 7 MUSIC QUIZ!POP MUSIC!

CONTEXT This is an interactive quiz that I would like to

use in a year 7 music class. I have designed it based around the pop music

unit that I taught during the 3 week placement My idea is that the students could work in pairs on the computers as school, and use this quiz as a revision before their end of unit test

I have based this test primarily on theory, but it would be great to use listening examples too
