Music

Course summary

Students who study IB Music will engage with a diverse range of music that will broaden their musical horizons and provide stimuli to expand their own music-making. The course comprises both internal and external assessments with various components on exploring music in context, experimenting with music, and presenting music. The areas of assessment incorporate performing, creating (composing) and academic investigations. Students will develop their perceptual skills in response to a wide variety of music (classical, jazz, pop, folk, world etc.). They will also engage with settings of contemporary music making that reflect the dynamic and mutual influence of music and technology at the heart of the contemporary musical experience.
