The Aga Khan Academies (AKA) work to develop curriculum units that are relevant to their students in Bangladesh, India, Kenya and Mozambique. This resource has been developed as part of a collaborative project between the Academies and the Aga Khan Trust for Culture (AKTC) to develop curriculum units for use in the International Baccalaureate (IB) Primary Years, Middle Years and Diploma Programmes. This IB Middle Years Programme (MYP) music unit encourages MYP4/5 students to value music traditions that have been passed down through generations. These traditions can express identity and convey moral standards that may bind communities together. The unit also encourages students to reflect on the value of preserving, developing and strengthening access to musical traditions as diverse forms of cultural expression.
