Overall Music Overview for School Year 2008-09 (Grade 6 ,7,8, 9 and 10 )

The BINUS SCHOOL MYP Arts-Music

The MYP Music in place at BINUS SCHOOL Simprug contributes to the students and the school curriculum by offering a distinct way of learning, seeing, feeling, hearing, thinking and creating that when combined allows a student to communicate on a visual, aural, tactile and kinesthetic level.

The music program will establish links between subjects, cultures, and different areas of experience. MYP Music allows students to experience and develop curiosity, interest and enjoyment in their creativity and that of others which includes the ability to express themselves and their ideas about the world they live in, working both independently and as cooperative members of a group.
