“You in the fish market
“你在渔市上
Looking for the moon
寻找下弦月
I’m under the moonlight
我在月光下
Going by a small river”
经过小河流”
”Peter Wen, Grade 12 student at BISS wrote “The Master”, a song with beautiful lyrics and melody.
这首优美的乐曲《主人》是北京BISS国际学校12年级学生Peter Wen在他的IB音乐学习中所创作的作品。
▲Peter Wen, BISS 12th Grade
In the IB Diploma Programme students choose one course from each of the 6 subject groups. Peter selected music as one of his core courses. Over the past two years, Peter composed three major pieces. "Music is a great passion and big inspiration for me.” said Peter.
IB课程体系在DP（11、12年级）阶段，共设置六大科目。学生从每门科目中选择自己喜欢及擅长的方向学习，通过最终的IB考试成绩进入大学。Peter因为热爱音乐，所以选择了艺术科目中的音乐课。两年来，Peter在音乐课上创作了三首风格迥异的音乐作品。Peter说：“我热爱音乐，它给我灵感和启迪。”
The Master, a score inspired by a Chinese poem by famous poet Haizi, is a song for tenor solo with piano accompaniment. “I always liked Haizi. I wandered through his poems and came across this piece. I started to sing. Then I decided to compose music based on it.”
这首由男高音独唱、钢琴伴奏的优美乐曲，是受中国著名诗人海子的诗歌《主人》启发而作。“我一向很喜欢海子，流连于他的诗词，反复吟唱，渐渐形成了这首乐曲。”
“Teaching and Learning in Context” is the foundation to understand the IB concepts. Students need to investigate into themselves and their lives to find where they are in time and place. It is well reflected in each of the courses taught at BISS.
“在实践中学习”是IB课程的核心观念。学生要在生活中发现自我，了解自我。这个核心价值观在BISS学校的每一门课中都有体现。
In the “Fragrant Hills”, another composition written by Peter, dived into the histories of Beijing and his personal experiences living in the city. “The Fragrant Hills are one of the favorite places to go for local Beijingers. When standing on top of the mountain, people can see the traditional architecture as well as the modern city skyline. That very distinction and contrast inspires me.” With the music going up and down, it transmits the spectrum of music with the harmony of three instruments, piano, harp and flute. “It is a blend of Eastern and Western art music with the use of pentatonic scale, that was widely adopted since ancient East."
Peter创作的另一首原创乐曲《香山》，正是他在了解北京历史的过程中结合自身经历创作而成。“香山是北京人登高的一大去处。站在峰顶眺望远方，能看到古老的建筑和摩登都市的天际相融合。这鲜明的古今对比启发了我。”《香山》是钢琴、竖琴和长笛共同演奏。东西方乐器在这首乐曲中相得益彰，完美融合。“我用五音阶谱曲，创作了这首贯融中西的乐曲。五音阶在东方古音乐中有悠久的历史。”
“I have been studying music for three years since Grade 10. Some of my classmates chose Visual Arts, but I love music. I think, whenever I am around music, it gives me the light of life. When I write the scores, I feel empowered.”
“我的同学中多数人选择了视觉艺术，而我选择了音乐，从十年级到现在，三年时间。DP课业压力很重，但我上音乐课的时候会感觉轻松。当我谱曲时，我觉得我感受到了一种力量。音乐给了我生活的光亮，将会伴随我终身。”
For IB learners, it is important that each student not only explores and takes action, but also reflects at every stage of the learning cycle. All DP music students must complete a reflective statement related to each composition. In his reflections, Peter revisited his intention for creating his pieces, which is a key process leading to the final outcome of his work.
IB课程体系非常强调探究之后的反思，并体现在每一个学习阶段。音乐课中也是如此，学生需要在每一次音乐创作后写下自己的反思陈述。在Peter的反思当中，他回想了自己的创作初心以及创作历程，这是帮助学生完成最终作品的重要步骤。
At BISS, the high teacher-student ratio provides students with a great chance to learn in a very personalized way, and get the best instructions from the top level teachers. As Peter’s music teacher, Dawid Bochen, who is also the Pre K-12 Principal at BISS, says that it is a long tradition for BISS teachers to find the strength of each student, inspire their intrinsic motivation for learning, and finally empower them to attain their best. “Peter is very talented in musical composition. As a very sensitive, perceptive and reflective person, he not only applies the technical skill of manipulating elements of music into a coherent musical form, but also reflects his emotions and perception of the world around him in his compositions” said Mr. Bochen.
在BISS国际学校，良好的教师学生比例给孩子们提供了高度个性化学习的机会，使每个孩子都能受到教师良好的关注。Dawid Bochen先生是Peter的音乐老师，同时也是K-12年级的校长。“在BISS，我们不断地启发孩子的兴趣、激发他们的内在潜力、逐步引导他们获得成功。”Bochen先生说，“Peter有过人的音乐天赋。他的乐曲不仅是熟练创作技巧的体现，更是他真我的流露和表达。”
It has been more than five years since Mr. Bochen started working at BISS. As a seasoned educator, he is also an IB workshop leader, school visitor and consultant, which are very well recognized and important roles in the IB world schools community (read more here www.ibo.org). In addition to his regular work at BISS, he travels around the Asia-Pacific region to help train IB teachers and evaluate the implementation of IB standards and practices in other IB authorized or candidate schools.
Bochen先生五年前加入BISS，他不仅是优秀的教育者，也是杰出的教育工作的组织者。他拥有IB学校联盟的多重身份，负责IB教师的培训、IB学校资质评估和顾问工作。他在教学和学校管理工作之外，还代表IB组织走访亚太各地，帮助培训IB老师，及评估IB联盟学校及备选学校的IB标准执行情况。
Peter has received offers from 5 top Universities in the UK. The major he applied for is Mathematics and Statistics. His personal ambition is to become a top actuary. “I love Math and I always wanted to go to the UK.” said Peter. "When I applied to the universities, my performance in music gave me a big advantage.”
截至目前，Peter共拿到了英国5所大学数学与统计专业的早申offer，正在准备最终的IB考试。“我很喜欢数学，一直想去英国读书。在申请学校时，我在音乐上的成绩也为我带来了特别的优势。”Peter说。他的职业理想是成为一名与音乐终生为伴的顶级精算师。
