Sorry for the acronym our school never uses the full name. I wasn’t even sure what it was. The full definition…
“The Cambridge Advanced International Certificate of Education (AICE) Diploma is an international curriculum and examination system that emphasizes the value of broad and balanced study. Alongside in-depth understanding of a variety of subjects, students also need to master a broader range of skills critical for success in university study and employment.”
It gives the same weight as an AP course, has an exam at the end for college credit at some colleges and is becoming a popular choice for students at our high school. AICE Music 1 syllabus…" examines Western European music along with other cultures" and says that …"learners listen to, perform and compose music, encouraging aesthetic and emotional development, self-discipline and creativity. " My D is seeking a BM and looking at conservatory training. Her portfolio is shaping up nicely and she is currently working privately with a composition Professor as well as taking Orchestration from Berklee online.
I think keeping her super focused on her music is a good thing, I just don’t want it to look like she is ignoring the academics,
