IB Music SL

Through the music course students develop their knowledge and potential as musicians, both personally and collaboratively.

Involving aspects of the composition, performance and critical analysis of music, the course exposes students to forms, styles and functions of music from a wide range of historical and socio-cultural contexts. Students create, participate in, and reflect upon music from their own background and those of others. They develop practical and communicative skills which provide them with the opportunity to engage in music for further study, as well as for lifetime enjoyment.

Standard level (SL) music students are required to study musical perception.

SL students in music are then required to choose one of three options:

• creating (SLC)
• solo performing (SLS)
• group performing (SLG).
