Music

At Northshore Primary, we believe that all children are musical and have the innate ability to listen, sing, dance, play and express themselves musically.  We have developed a well-tailored curriculum which provides different learning experiences to develop students’ musical abilities through the E-C-A (Experience-Concept-Application) approach.

The music programme aims to

a) Develop awareness and appreciation of music in local and global cultures
b) Develop ability for creative expression and communication through music
c) Provide the basis to develop an informed and life-long involvement in music

Key Programme

 1)

In semester 2, students will be engaged in the study of the world’s Art and Musical cultures. Bringing world arts into the classroom is a way to foster interest in both world Musical and Art cultures in children. Students will learn Music and Visual Arts from 6 different countries in the 6 years of Primary School education.
For Music, students will be experiencing and learning songs, movements, instruments from the different parts of the world. This programme establishes a comprehensive musical understanding for students living in the global era.

2)  ‘I am SAM’ week (Sportsman, Artist, Musician)
In ‘I am SAM’ week (Music), students get a chance to express themselves freely beyond the curriculum through exploration of musical concepts with the use of percussion instruments. Students get to practice and reinforce what they have learnt in the classroom and also extend their creativity with their friends during exploration.

3)  Music Assembly
Students are exposed to different music forms and music instruments from various cultures once per semester. Through music, songs, instruments, costumes and props, students can get a better understanding of the music style and culture.

This event can also help build confidence, improve public speaking skills, and foster a sense of community among students.
