IB MUSIC SL, YEAR 1 COURSE PHILOSOPHY Music functions as a means of personal and communal identity and expression, and embodies the social and cultural values of individuals and communities. This scenario invites exciting exploration and sensitive study. Music, and all of its associations, may vary considerably from one musical culture to another: yet music may share similarities. Such richness offers a variety of ways to encounter and engage with a constantly changing world. A vibrant musical education fosters curiosity and openness to both familiar and unfamiliar musical worlds. Through such a study of music we learn to hear relationships of pitch in sound, pattern in rhythm and unfolding sonic structures. Through participating in the study of music we are able to explore the similarities, differences and links in music from within our own culture and that of others across time. Informed and active musical engagement allows us to explore and discover relationships between lived human experience and specific sound combinations and technologies, thus informing us more fully of the world around us, and the nature of humanity. The Diploma Programme music course provides an appropriate foundation for further study in music at university level or in music career pathways. It also provides an enriching and valuable course of study for students who may pursue other careers. COURSE DESCRIPTION The IB Diploma Programme standard level music course seeks to develop students knowledge and potential as musicians, both personally and collaboratively. IB Diploma Programme music students are required to study musical perception and actively listen to a wide range of music from different parts of the world, musical cultures and time periods. They also develop aural perception and understanding of music by learning about musical elements, including form and structure, notations, musical terminology and context. Through the course of study, students become aware of how musicians work and communicate. This course also provides all students with the opportunity to engage in the world of music as lifelong participants. In addition, the course enables students to enjoy lifelong engagement with the arts, become informed, reflective and critical practitioners in the arts understand the dynamic and changing nature of the arts explore and value the diversity of the arts across time, place and cultures express ideas with confidence and competence develop perceptual and analytical skills develop their knowledge and potential as musicians, both personally and collaboratively.

The analysis will describe and illustrate common compositional techniques, cultural and historical influences and other key connections. In preparation for Musical Links Investigation (IB Requirement), students will demonstrate knowledge of musical time periods and styles by listening to a musical work not previously covered in coursework and provide a detailed analysis of what is heard. Sample analysis questions include: What instruments are used? What is the style? In what year/music period does this piece originate? Does the time influence the work? In what form is it composed? What composer or in whose style is it composed? What else do you hear? What other pieces sound similar?
