CURRICULUM

MUSIC

The incorporation of a music program is necessary for the children to receive a well-rounded education. Our music classes (held weekly) develop the children's knowledge and understanding of musical concepts, musical theory, rhythm and beat. The general aims of the program are:

  • ■ to learn about different kinds of musical instruments and the sounds they make through hands on exploration
  • ■ to provide a means of self-expression
  • ■ to develop a sense of rhythm, musical perception, imagination and the ability to memorize musical content.

From Junior Kinder level the children, will be taught how to use the pianica (see photo tp the right). Towards the end of their year in Senior Kinder they will participate in a music performance at the Summer Festival. The music performance will also include an orchestral performance by the children, which showcases their musical ability and teamwork skills.
