Aesthetics (Music and Retail Operations)
Goal:
To develop every student to be a creative, innovative and collaborative life–long learner
Key Programmes:
Our department seeks to provide our students with authentic learning experiences as well as expose them to varied career and education options:
Music and Mother Tongue Broadcasting Collaboration
The broadcasting collaboration gave Secondary One students an opportunity to create music through technology and to understand the use of music in news broadcast.
Music and Literature Rap Collaboration
The collaboration enabled Secondary Two students to develop multiple perspectives and synthesise their knowledge of the two disciplines.
Music Preparatory Course
The Music Preparatory Course was started for students from Band, Choir and Guzheng CCAs. The course aims to develop students’ musical literacy as many students had no prior music background. The students sat for the Trinity College London Grade 1 – 5 Theory Examinations in November 2018.
Flea Market
This event provided a more authentic learning experience for the Secondary Three and Secondary Four Retail Operation students. The students managed the logistics, sales and marketing for the whole flea market experience.
Partnerships with External Organizations
These partnerships provide more authentic learning experiences for the Secondary Three Retail Operation students as well as selected music students. They also allow for more internship opportunities in the retail sectors and masterclasses to learn from the music professionals.
Highlights / Achievements:
iPad Band Performance at Sree Narayana Mission Home (SNMH)
Selected Secondary Two students performed for the residents at SNMH and taught them how to make music on the iPad.
