Aims of the Course
The Cambridge IGCSE Music syllabus offers students the opportunity to develop their own practical musical skills through performing and composing. They also develop their listening skills by studying music from the main historical periods and styles of Western music as well as from selected non‑Western traditions. The emphasis of the syllabus is as much on developing lifelong musical skills as on acquiring knowledge.
Learners studying Cambridge IGCSE Music are given the opportunity to:
listen to and learn about music from a wide range of historical periods and major world cultures
develop their skills in performing music, both individually musicians
develop their skills in composing music in a style of their own choice.
