Music
Curriculum planning
Music encompasses the 3 areas of listening, performance and creation.
Through various activities, we help students acquire musical knowledge and skills.
We also nurture their interests in music.
Activity classes
. Through various class activities like instrument playing in accompaniment or ensemble, body rhythmic movements and music creation etc., we nurture musical sense, singing, listening and instrument playing skills among students.
. Implement “Show and Tell time” in P2 to P6 classes. Every student will have a chance to sing, play an instrument or talk about music in front of classmates. In the process, they enhance their self-confidence.
Basic music theory
. We teach basic music theory in P1 to P6 classes. With music worksheets, we help students reinforce what they have learnt.
. There is a written test on music theory for P4 to P6 students, assessing their knowledge.
Music topics
. We have set different topics for P1 to P6 so that students can learn more music during their holidays and enrich their experiences.
. At school, classical music is broadcast during lunchtime so that students have more opportunities to hear classical music.
. Each week, we have a “request a song” program in the afternoon to enhance the music atmosphere.
. To encourage students to attend concerts, we distribute notices of high-quality concerts.
. By setting up the “CCS musical stage”, we provide students with opportunities to perform.
. Music groups like choir, orchestra, recorder group, hand bells team, etc. allow students to perform and develop various skills.
Multi-faceted assessment
We try to assess students’ performance in various areas like performance in class, singing, playing the recorder, sense of rhythm and Show & Tell.
