Desired Outcomes
In Peicai Secondary School, we aim to develop in students the competencies that will enable them to:
Learn basic music concepts and skills through Listening, Creating and Performing.
Deepen their appreciation for music from local and global cultures.
Express themselves through music creation and performances.
We support these endeavours through…
Equipping students with the necessary musical competencies in instrumental and ensemble playing. (ukulele and keyboard).
Engaging students in analysing and evaluating musical works through the Performing Arts -Based Learning experience.
Infusing technological skills in music arrangement and compositions.
We provide a two year lower secondary music curriculum to equip our students with theoretical knowledge and develop their musicianship. It is also aligned to the school’s Aesthetic Programme where music is seen as an integral part of students’ lives. We believe that every child possesses innate musical abilities and should be given the opportunity to develop his/her potential in creative expression through Music education in school.
Student use GarageBand for music arrangement. These lessons create an opportunity for them to infuse technological skills in music arrangement and creation.
Students are taught basic chords and different strumming patterns on the Ukulele and are given the opportunity to perform as an individual and a group.
Students learn basic music theory which is essential for Keyboard performance.
This theoretical knowledge equips them to play simple songs individually or in pairs.
