According to the IB: “The personal project is a significant body of work produced over an extended period. It is a product of your own initiative and should reflect your experience of the MYP. The personal project holds a very important place in the programme.” (MYP Personal Project)
This project is supposed to be based on your interests and reflect all the knowledge you have achieved in the MYP program. From my experience it comes with a lot of responsibility and work.

I asked Ms. Dittrich, the performing arts teacher, about the most efficient way to record my music piece without any background noise. She recommended me using an electronic recording program and to make sure there were no background noises while I was playing.
