Do you need help with your Music IA?
While many students take private music lessons, the academic rigour of the IB program creates a unique set of challenges. It is not enough to play an instrument well; you must deconstruct the mechanics of music. That’s why we’re here: to help you understand music theory and to stand up to any issues you mat have, such as:
“I can play, but I can’t analyze.” Students often excel in their instrument but struggle to articulate why a piece works. We help identify structural elements or harmonic progressions in your written work, so you can comprehend what works in the piece you’re either composing or interpreting.
“My compositions lack theoretical depth.” Our teachers will guide you geyond something that “sounds nice” towards demonstrating a command of tension, release, texture, and modulation in your composition.
“I struggle with diverse musical styles.” The ib music syllabus requires you to engage with unfamiliar cultures and contexts. We take you out of your comfort zone (usually Western classical or pop), so you can demonstrate the breadth of engagement required for a top-tier score.
“My recordings are poor quality.” In the music production aspect, technical execution aspect matters. We help you get the best recording quality you can with materials you have available. This way, any of the examiners you encounter will be able to hear all the details in your work.
Working Together to Enhance your IB Music Internal Assessment
To succeed in your endevor of not only elaborating your very own practical/composition portfolio, but also writting a 1500 word report; you’ll need mentorship from true maestros. Our team comprises professional composers, active music teachers, and examiners who have mastered the intricacies of the international baccalaureate diploma. They’ll work hand in hand to guide you through the three core roles: Researcher, Creator, and Performer, ensuring your work meets the high standards of the IB music program:
Criterion A: Selection of Evidence
Have you chosen appropriate pieces or references? Your music study must show style variety and challenge.
Criterion B: Critical Understanding
This criterion assesses your ability to analyze music sheets, composition details and structural forms.
Criterion C: Creating
Is your composition inventive? Are you effectively manipulating musical elements like melody, harmony, and rhythm?
Criterion D: Performing
This measures the technical proficiency and interpretive maturity in your instrument or voice.
