IGCSE Music Studies

IGCSE Music Studies will provide students with a basis for an informed appreciation of music and a foundation for further study at an Advanced level. Students will develop a perceptive, critical response to the main historical periods and styles of Western music. Students will also recognize and understand the music from a variety of non-Western traditions, thus forming an appreciation of similarities and differences among cultures. Students will acquire basic musical skills, knowledge, and understanding of world music through listening, performing, and composing activities. Successful completion of the end of course exam will result in an IGCSE or an International Certificate in Education (ICE) certificate.
