So, as I spent most of this week chatting to MYP 5 about their choices for next year, i really couldn’t get over just what a brilliant course Diploma music really is. If there was a course that embodied the IB thinking, this surely is it. You have intercultural awareness looking at the Musical Links investigation and you need the Learner Profile as you begin to experience more about the world. I got to thinking (when i was writing a TOK paper) that music is a funny subject to teach – everybody is an expert in their field. Everybody knows something about some kind of music. And then i thought – does understanding music intellectually really enhance your emotional responses to music?
What do you think?
