MUSIC

Music embraces all of ISD’s core values, and thanks to our truly diverse international community, we are fortunate to be able to incorporate music from all over the world into our programmes. With our music department staff hailing from Canada, the UK, India, and Germany, and with a student body comprising more than 50 nationalities, our community brings with it a variety of musical backgrounds, interests, and practices that are as diverse as the places they are from.

Throughout the school year, the music department puts on a variety of concerts and performances including the ISD winter concert series; grade 6 MYP performance concert; grade 7 MYP performance concert; ISD jazz evening; ISD spring concert series; International Fest; World Citizenship Night. We also enjoy a long-standing relationship with the Association of Music in International Schools (AMIS), giving students the opportunity to travel to orchestra, band and choral festivals across Europe and perform with other students from around the world.

Music at ISD is growing in all areas, and by allowing students to create and perform music from around the world, we all benefit from a deeper cultural understanding of each other. As the writer, Kahlil Gibran, once wrote: ‘Music is the language of the spirit. It opens the secret of life bringing peace, abolishing strife'.

I love that we have so much freedom in the music programme. I chose solo performance for the IB, but I also play in the string ensemble. 

We also have the group AMIS [Association for Music in International Schools]. Students from all over the world come together to practise, and we have a concert on the last day. In tenth grade I went to Salzburg for AMIS. It was a great experience meeting students from other countries.
