The Music Programme will focus on cultivating and developing our pupils' skills and knowledge by providing them with direct experiences in the components of Listening and Music-Making ¨C Performing and Creating. Within these two components, a variety of content, skills and values will be covered.
| Listening |

Pupils are engaged in active listening of music. They are provided with a variety of music materials so that appreciation and understanding can be established and built upon. Pupils are also guided to observe, recognize and identify musical elements and features in music so that they can make informed comments and reasoned evaluations.

Performing
Pupils sing and play instruments with good expression and technique. In instrumental playing, they will play a variety of percussion instruments as well as recorder. Opportunities will be provided for pupils to perform in ensemble settings so that the experience in collaborative music-making would enhance their abilities in listening out for accuracy, blending and balance.
Creating
Pupils create and improvise rhythmic and melodic phrases as well as sound effects. They will be guided to notate their compositions in conventional and non-conventional forms for performances.
