IB Music
LCC will be offering IB music for the first time during the 2025-26 school year! We are very excited to continue to develop the music program and continue to offer new opportunities to study music.
The IB Music SL course is a dynamic, year-long journey into the world of music through listening, performance, and creation. Students explore music from a wide range of cultures, styles, and historical periods while developing critical listening skills and a deeper understanding of how music communicates ideas and emotions. Throughout the year, students will engage in active music-making, refine their performance abilities, and create original compositions using both traditional and modern tools.
Assessment is based on a balanced combination of individual performance recordings, a music portfolio featuring analysis and commentary, and a creative composition project. Whether you’re an instrumentalist, vocalist, or composer, IB Music SL will challenge you to think critically, perform confidently, and appreciate music as a universal language. This course is ideal for students seeking to broaden their artistic voice while preparing for further musical study or simply enriching their lifelong connection to the arts.
