A new and exciting curriculum which teaches you to make the most of your musical talent, by learning how the best composers and artists make the music you love, developing the skills to help you express yourself musically in an increasingly mature way. You will listen to, play and compose in a variety of musical styles from around the world. You will be taught to work out how a piece of music is constructed by listening and score study, and will use the features you discover in your own compositions and performances. You will collaborate with other artists to create a unique musical project. Music teaching at IB focuses on developing musical independence. Students discover the skills they need to compose, play and analyse music and then apply these to projects tailored to enhance musical strengths and improve areas of weakness. Class sizes are small, so you receive a high level of support from expert musical practitioners, who are able to get to know you in depth as a musician and give detailed constructive feedback on your creative work. Music students are given priority use of practice rooms and musical facilities when available.
