Summary Excerpt Details

The following essay will demonstrate how to use Vygotsky's "Zone of Proximal Development" during the Baroque Period in music to encourage and motivate students to conclude their work assigned and be on task whilst considering their options in terms of Music History and familiarising themselves with the music history period of 1600 - 1750.

A very important part of the curriculum is to allow students to compose music, and create their own original compositions using the stylistic features of prominent composers from the Baroque period. Students concluding the IB DP programme will have to conclude the music analysis and have to comment on their research being critical thinkers focussing on one of the areas. The exploration of diverse musical material is focused through the lenses of four areas of inquiry, which include music for sociocultural and political expression, music for listening and performance, music for dramatic impact, movement and entertainment, and music technology in the digital age.
