Workshop for Teachers and Students of IB Music

Jim Yarnell

November 15, 16, 17, 2007
International School of Aberdeen
Kent Walter, host organizer;

Applications should be made as soon as possible. Final deadline is September 15th.

This workshop is geared for but not limited to IB Music students and their teachers. Based on feedback from participating teachers in last year’s workshop, it was felt that having this workshop in November would still provide ample opportunity for Year 2 students to get feedback and critique on their work early enough in the year. This would also provide a wonderful springboard opportunity for Year 1 students to get a head start on their work.

Some of the features of the workshop will again include:

Additions to this year’s workshop will include:

This workshop is intended to focus on works in progress for critical feedback rather than the presentations of finished products. Students will be expected to bring to the workshop work they have done to date . This is includes the performance, Music Investigations and composition projects.

£70 for Thursday night
