Music
Students
Compose
Collaboratively
On
Friday,
5
September
2014,
all
the
IGCSE
Music
students
had
the
unique
opportunity
to
attend
a
composition
workshop,
focusing
on
their
current
their
Music
compositions
for
their
IGCSE
course.
The
main
objective
was
for
students
from
both
campuses
-‐
St.
Andrews
Sukhumvit
107
and
Green
Valley
-‐
to
create
their
own
inspirational
compositions
within
a
certain
time
limit,
focusing
on
the
areas
of
studies
covered
in
class
such
as:
Minimalism,12
Bar
Blues
-‐
Jazz/Fusion
and
African
Drumming.
Students
from
both
schools
worked
collaboratively
and
benefitted
greatly
from
various
workshops
offered
by
Mr.
M
Müller
and
Ms.
Sian
Jones
the
music
teachers
from
both
schools.
Mr.
Muller
Head
of
Music
at
St.
Andrews
Green
Valley
explained
“The
biggest
challenge
was
for
the
students
to
make
independent
decisions
through
project
managing
various
tasks
in
preparation
for
an
informal
concert
at
the
end
of
the
day,
during
which
their
new
skills
were
showcased.
These
skills
are
extremely
valuable
and
reinforce
the
qualities
of
the
IB
Learner
Profile.”
All
the
students
enjoyed
this
day
of
musical
creativity
immensely
and
both
campuses
look
forward
to
more
musical
collaboration
throughout
the
year.
