The music course at AURA provides students with a comprehensive understanding of music as both an art form and a tool for wellness. Students will explore the cultural connections of music, learn foundational guitar techniques, and engage in lectures on music appreciation, history, and theory, including composition. The course emphasizes the development of skills in listening, reading, writing, production, and performance across various musical styles, enabling students to perceive and express musical ideas effectively.
As an IB school, AURA values cultural understanding, and our music courses reflect this by promoting community engagement, particularly among marginalized groups, and fostering an appreciation of the music of different ethnic communities. Additionally, as a Christian school, we emphasize the importance of the Christian musical heritage, exploring the role of music in worship and the promotion of Christian virtues.
AURA’s art and music courses contribute to STEAM education—integrating arts with science, technology, engineering, and mathematics—encouraging creativity alongside rigorous analytical thinking.
