Your IB Music Teacher for International Baccalaureate Levels
The SL and HL levels in Music IB
Both the Standard Level (SL) and Higher Level (HL) of the IB music curriculum follow a three-pronged structure: exploration, experimentation, and musical performance; however, they differ in teaching hours and assessment. SL requires 150 teaching hours, while HL has approximately 240 hours. The latter is due to the more complex work it demands in composition, performance, and research. This includes deeper analysis and sophisticated reflection. The choice between levels depends on musical background, career goals, and available time, and private lessons are tailored to the needs of both levels.
