The IB DP Music course is a two-year comprehensive and rigorous study of music. The course is multifaceted and allows students to actively engage in music as creators, performers, and researchers. Students will explore, learn, discover, and collaborate to become autonomous, informed, and skilled musicians.
The exploration of diverse musical material is focused through the lenses of four areas of inquiry.
AOI 1 – music for sociocultural and political expression
AOI 2 – music for listening and performance
AOI 3 – music for dramatic impact, movement, and entertainment
AOI 4 – music technology in the digital age.
Upon completion of year two, students submit either standard level or higher level portfolio work, which is graded by a panel of international educators.
