AQA Music Marking Rubric - MarkSmithPro Preset

A ready-to-import AQA GCSE Music rubric for MarkSmithPro, covering performing and composing with clear mark bands and feedback wording.

This is a ready-to-import MarkSmithPro preset for AQA GCSE Music. It is built to support structured feedback for practical music assessment, especially where students need precise comments linked to performance and composition criteria.

The preset covers:

• Performing music
• Composing music

Each section includes mark bands and feedback wording so that assessment can be applied consistently and students can see what is working well and what needs further development.

How to use it:

1. Open MarkSmithPro.
2. Import the .marksmith file from this download.
3. Add your class list.
4. Select the descriptors that best match each student’s work.
5. Export or print the completed feedback sheets.

This is not an audio resource or worksheet. It is a MarkSmithPro project file, so it needs the free MarkSmithPro desktop app to open. I built it to make Music assessment more structured, consistent, and easier to explain to students.
