Welcome to the 2024 edition of the Musical Contexts Great Big End of Year Summer Music Quiz. This Music Quiz is designed to provide a quick, easy, fun and flexible music resource during the final part of the summer term.
The Musical Contexts Great Big End of Year Summer Music Quiz 2024 has 100 brand new questions (divided into 10 rounds of 10 questions/points value each – see Contents page). These range from favourite rounds such as Recent Music General Knowledge, Pop Song Scramble, Popular Song Introductions and Backwards Popular Songs to picture rounds including Eurovision 2024 and Big Night at the Musicals, and audio rounds including Movie Soundtracks 2024 and TV Theme Tunes 2024, all updated from the latest popular music, artists, bands, performers and music news of 2024.
The Musical Contexts Great Big End of Year Summer Music Quiz 2024 is designed to be edited by teachers allowing them to select rounds/questions most appropriate to the age group or ability level they are teaching and may also prove useful for music cover work during a busy summer period of school music-making, especially when music lessons have been ‘re-roomed’ due to examinations taking place as certain rounds of the quiz can be completed in classrooms with no music equipment or resources.
The Musical Contexts Great Big End of Year Summer Music Quiz 2024 comes either as a PowerPoint® Presentation which contains all audio files (as .wav files) embedded on their relative “round”, with the answers given on the ‘slide comments’ sections (all audio files are also available in .mp3 format separately), or as a booklet providing an alternative, perhaps more traditional, way of delivering the quiz and contains handouts and full answers.
I hope that the Musical Contexts Great Big End of Year Summer Music Quiz 2024 provides you and your pupils with a fun, musical and enjoyable end to the academic year.
