The music course has been transformed to focus on creativity; discovery and pupil lead learning, and at both SL and HL requires no formal prior training in music. The course is designed to allow pupils to experience music on a personal level while expanding their musical identity. The individual pupil’s prior experiences will determine the pupils’ pathways through, and engagement with, the course. It is, however, advantageous to have a musical interest, passion and ability to discover music linked to personal, local and global contexts.
The course is designed to assess a diverse and in depth learning journal or digital portfolio of work, that best represents each area of inquiry. Each unit is uploaded for verification. There is no final examination or recital. The weighting for each portfolio is as follows: • Exploring music in context SL 30% HL 20% • Experimenting with music SL 30% HL 20% • Presenting music SL 40% HL 30% • Contemporary music maker HL 40%
