IB music introduces high school music students to college-level music studies. This course addresses the fundamentals of world music and music history from an analytical perspective. Special attention is given to musical analysis through listening. In addition, students select from several independent projects, including solo or group performances, compositions, and a research-based musical investigation. This course can be taken in conjunction with SSFA performance ensembles. It is offered at both the standard and higher levels, and fulfills the arts requirement for the IB diploma. Interested students should be proficient either vocally or instrumentally, and posses a basic knowledge of music theory.
