Curriculum Overview
Our curriculum is primarily divided into three main areas:

It integrates diverse experiential music elements, including music knowledge, music appreciation, vocal music, sight-singing, percussion, world music, music history, and more.
2. Module
- Different musical experiences and activities will be arranged for various grades, including Chinese drumming, African drumming, handchimes, Cantonese opera, computer music, and music composition
3. ELA (Extended Learning Activities)

Learning Scope
The main learning scope is divided into two parts:

2. Adapted Curriculum
- Primary 5 to 6 will use Longman Music teaching materials, which are adapted according to students' abilities and incorporate school-based musical elements.

It guides students to progressively learn different musical knowledge from a foundational to an advanced level, including sight-singing, sight-reading, electronic music composition, world music culture, history, and music appreciation, in order to meet the needs of our students.
