The IB Music HL/SL class will be studying a wide variety of musical genres, from Western European traditions, but also from a range of world music cultures.
Students will Explore, Experiment and Present music in three different roles: as a researcher, as a creator and as a performer. The music studied will represent personal, local and global contexts and cover a wide range of Areas of Inquiry.
First year students are currently receiving a 'crash course' in basic music theory and musical elements. Students will study cultures as a full class, in small groups and individually so that they can 'craft their own curriculum' to a degree.
This is the first year of this new curriculum, so information will be coming at us all year, but it's a really fun, diverse and flexible curriculum. I'm really looking forward to it!
