Music in the PYP is both an active and reflective process, involving making and listening to music. Students can draw on a wide range of sources in their music learning: music composed by themselves, other students or by musicians; literature; paintings; dance; their own imagination; real-life experiences; feelings; values and beliefs.
Individually and collaboratively, students at MIS have the opportunity to create and respond to musical ideas. In creating music, students use their imagination and musical experiences to organize sounds into various forms that communicate specific ideas or moods. In responding to music, students are given the opportunity to respond to different styles of music, as well as to music from different times and cultures.
Through exposure to a wide and varied repertoire of musical styles, students can begin to construct an understanding of their world and develop personal connections with music.
ICT influences and enhances the music learning at MIS, by allowing students to share, create, compose and record their work through the use of CD, film, podcasts and music files.
