It is recommended that students be competent in performing, as IB DP Music SL and HL place high demands on performing skills.
Western Instrumental or Vocal Qualification
- Preferrably Grade 8 or above qualification in Instrumental or Vocal from ABRSM, Trinity Guildhall Music Examinations, Australian Music Examinations Board and Royal Conservatory of Music Toronto-Canada, London College of Music (LCM) and the University of West London (formerly known as LCM, Thames Valley University).
- Students with accreditation below Grade 8 ABRSM will also be considered as there are no specific requirements in the IB DP Music curriculum.
Music Theory
- Although achieving Grade 5 theory from ABRSM or Trinity Guildhall Music Examinations is not normally required in the IB DP Music curriculum, it would be a plus and enhance the students’ IB DP Music study.
Special Cases
- Marginal cases will be handled on a case-by-case basis. Please reach us at 98683401 or email us directly at hkmsacltd@gmail.com. We are most grateful to provide additional help to students.
- We suggest students with special cases support their applications with recommendation letter(s) or proof(s) from their music teacher and instrumental teacher. Please refer to the Application Form's recommendation page (page 5) for details.
