The Arts
Music
The aims of the IB Music programme are to:
- Give students the opportunity to explore and enjoy the diversity of music throughout the world.
- Encourage students to develop perceptual skills through a breadth of musical experiences where they will learn to recognise, speculate, analyse, identify, discriminate and hypothesise in relation to music.
- Enable students to develop creativity, their knowledge, abilities and understanding through performance and composition.
- Assist students to develop their potential as musicians.
The Higher Level programme is designed for the specialist music student with a background in solo musical performance and composition.
The Standard Level programme has three options:
- Solo Performance
- Group Performance
- Composition
All programmes include Musical Perception and Analysis.
The Performance and Composition programmes are assessed internally and externally moderated, and Musical Perception is assessed by external examination.
