How has technology connected traditional and contemporary cultures? How do musicians innovate with both technical and traditional cultures? These are some of the many deep critical questions which Samuel Wright (Musician, Composer, Apple Distinguished Educator) investigates in his holistic and forward-thinking approach to music education in his new work, MYP by Concept 4 \u0026amp; 5 for Music.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEach chapter focuses on a specific area of inquiry, focussing on key, related and global concepts, connecting the learning of musical elements throughout the process. The twelve areas of inquiry revolve around structuring musical formulas to communicate ideas, identifying cultural contexts to help interpret musical storytelling, creating new musical directions as a way of artistic expression, understanding what is fair and original in relation to musical plagiarism, improvising as a form a creativity, hearing images, examining the impact music has on the gaming experience, combining machines and music-making in innovative manners, producing new musical identities which test musical boundaries, identifying the relationships between emotions and structured ideas to create imaginative compositions, understanding how different schools of thought transform art, and deconstructing the relationships between different musical genres to reframe aesthetic interpretations. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEach area of inquiry is contextualized with the IB learner profile, approaches to learning, factual-conceptual-debatable questions for consideration, assessment criteria covered (knowing and understanding, developing skills, thinking creatively and responding), along with key words, links to other subjects: language and literature, social sciences, natural sciences, mathematics, arts (visual arts, theatre, film, dance) and sports. Prior knowledge and skills needed are appropriately mentioned. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOpportunities for research exploration, experimentation and presenting are abound within a diverse set of musical examples, including, but not limited to hip-hop, classical (orchestral, wind band, choral), pop, film, jazz, electronica, fusion, Indian, Japanese, Indonesian and Latin music. The highlights of each chapter are the activities, extension projects, take-action tasks, and see-think-wonder and think-pair-share protocols for individual and collaborative learning opportunities. Examples include composing for dragons, interpreting Twitter bots, communicating with code, EDM drum mapping, sampling, mixing, and using acoustic instruments and digital programs to make music. There are interactive links to Quizlets and other resources to support student learning. Noteworthy, the end of each chapter includes summative options for students to demonstrate their learning, integrated with self-reflection prompts, tips to effectively document and present their learning in their portfolios and share their take-aways through other mediums.\u003cbr\u003eWhile there is a considerable presence of diversity in terms of race, gender, and LGBTQ+ composers and performers (many of whom are contemporary and living), this is one area in which Wright could have maximised more to have a stronger balanced representation, especially given the occasional repetition of composers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe content, both written and visual, is of very high quality and students and teachers alike will undoubtedly find this text very engaging. However, at times, the text and overall layout can be overwhelming, as some chapters are over thirty pages.
