Music

Assessment

How will I be assessed? Exploring Music in Context (SL 30%, HL 20%) Looking at music which is: Personal: known to you Local: unfamiliar to you Global: unfamiliar to you. You will submit samples of written work and practical exercises (including creating and performing), along with supporting audio material. The audio material is not assessed. Experimenting with Music (SL 30%, HL 20%) You will experiment with music from two of the following styles: • Music for sociocultural and political expression • Music for listening and performance • Music for dramatic impact, movement and entertainment • Music technology in the electronic and digital age. You will be required to submit an experimentation report with evidence of your musical processes in creating and performing in two areas of inquiry in a local and/or global context. Presenting Music (SL 40%, HL 30%): You will experiment with music from all four of the above areas of enquiry and submit a collection of works demonstrating your engagement with diverse musical material. Your submission will contain evidence of you presenting as a researcher, as a creator, and as a performer. Contemporary Music Maker (HL only, 30%) In this assessment component, you will prepare a multimedia presentation evidencing the effective planning and development of a real-life music project (based on the practices of a 21st-century professional in the music industry).
