deadpan2297 Posted April 10, 2017 Report Share Posted April 10, 2017 I'm thinking of doing my EE in the subject of music, however my school doesn't offer any IB official music classes. I have a supervisor who knows about musical theory, and I know a bit as well, but I don't know what I'd be missing if I don't have an experience in an IB music class. What do they expect? What should I be sure to mention when writing my EE? I've been thinking of transposing and analyzing a jazz standard recording played by different musicians and then comparing them, would this be a deep enough topic or should I be looking else where?

ABKor752 Posted April 11, 2017 Report Share Posted April 11, 2017 From what I have heard, it would be a lot like analyzing music in different cultures, and you would probably need to know many ib music terms to write the paper. I'm not doing a Music EE myself so I would not know much, however I am in IB Music. Basically, the class is a combination of music theory, western music history, and world music (hence the "analyze a culture" part of ee). The main skill that the IB wants to see in IB Music is your ability to analyze a piece in the context of its culture or time period. I would suppose that an EE would do that and compare it to many other pieces or musicians like you said, but I guess that finding a piece to analyze would be a starting place. Not sure if this helped or not, so I'm sorry if it felt kind of jumbled. Regardless, I wish you luck on your EE! 2 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
