Learning Chinese Music





Like all other classes of music, Chinese Orchestra music is an art form. A music appreciation programme in Chinese Orchestra will develop the pupils in the heart, the mind and the soul. Appreciating Chinese Orchestra music will expose pupils to craftsmanship. Pupils will learn to differentiate good work from the mediocre. Practices, performances, ensemble activities and examinations will help build discipline and self-confidence in the pupils. Through the various stages of learning music, the pupil will also learn about commitment and the value of seeing things through. As a means for self expression, Chinese Orchestra music will foster creativity and imagination in the pupils. Finally, the pupils will derive tangible benefits from the Chinese music appreciation programme in the enhancement of motor skills and hand-eye coordination. Studies have shown that this will in turn provide positive stimulus to parts of the brain involved in the processing of languages and reasoning, boosting reading/listening skills and improving concentration levels of the pupils.
