IB Music is an exciting and broad syllabus and is suitable for all those who enjoy listening to and playing music of any sort and are keen to learn more about music and how it works. The key areas of focus are performing, composing and history/analysis (at SL this depends on which options are chosen). The scope of the course is very wide so much of the lesson time is spent investigating the widest possible variety of music from different time periods and places, whilst focusing on particular areas of interest amongst those in the group. This journey of discovery requires an openness of mind and can be very rewarding. The IB Music course is a fully inclusive course and allows students to explore themselves fully as musicians whilst developing their musical theory knowledge to support this. One particularly interesting feature of the course is the Musical Investigation, a self-directed project comparing music from two distinct cultures.
