For the final PGCE Research Bites of this block, we welcome Ben Pepler, who's here to discuss with Tom his research into how we can get more consistent results in the different components of GCSE music through an integrated approach.

We hope you've found this set of Research Bites interesting, and maybe it's inspired you to carry out your own classroom research or enquiry!
