development of young learners, offering a myriad of benefits. For children as well as learners of any age, engaging with music enhances cognitive skills such as memory, attention, and pattern recognition, fostering a more robust foundation for learning in general.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Additionally, exposure to music from various cultures broadens a child&#8217;s cultural awareness and appreciation, promoting a sense of diversity and inclusivity. The process of learning to play an instrument or participate in a choir teaches discipline, patience, and teamwork, essential skills that contribute to academic success and social harmony.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Moreover, music provides an emotional outlet, allowing young learners to express themselves creatively and understand the nuances of different emotions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">At <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/owis.org\/sg\/suntec\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">OWIS Suntec<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, our young learners in Early Childhood and Primary School thoroughly enjoy their music lessons. We plan the music curriculum to ensure that children feel a sense of challenge and achievement in mastering age-appropriate instrumental techniques as well as feel a sense of curiosity about how cultures around the world incorporate music to evoke joy and camaraderie.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Here is a snapshot of the interesting music lessons our Suntec students have been engaged in:\u00a0<\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Our students in Early Childhood 1 and 2 learned<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> about rhythmic patterns and how to use body percussion to perform them. As part of our transdisciplinary learning approach for the Unit of Inquiry into families, our preschoolers learned about animals that live in the Treehouse family, and we explored creative movements to clap and tap out various rhythmic beats.<br \/><br \/><\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Grade 1, Grade 3 and Grade 4 students have been learning to play the keyboard and\u00a0 the recorder this term. They worked on establishing a strong foundation in finger technique and developing good hand coordination skills. This helped students to build finger dexterity and enhanced their fine motor skills. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">They have also learned to identify notes on the instruments and play songs like \u2018Mary had a Little Lamb\u2019, \u2018Jingle Bells\u2019 and \u2018Happy Birthday\u2019 with rhythmic accuracy. Towards the end of the term, students will learn to play as an ensemble and develop their teamwork skills.<br \/><br \/><\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In Grade 2, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">students at our Suntec campus have been learning to use their voice as a primary instrument to learn rhythmic patterns and solfege notes, along with singing to a strong steady beat. Students have learned about how rhymes are used as a natural contour to write a melody in a song. In one of the music lessons, students learned to sing songs related to healthy food. Then, they worked together as a group to compose their own song with rhyming food words, such as \u2018rice\u2019 and \u2018spice\u2019, and \u2018potato\u2019 and \u2018tomato\u2019.<br \/><br \/><\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">During the first few weeks of the school year, Grade 5 students learned about African music. They explored instruments like the xylophone, hand drums and shekere and practised different African songs and rhythmic patterns. They also practised and performed an energetic African song called \u2018Zimbole\u2019 for International Day.<\/span><\/li><\/ul><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In essence, at OWIS, we have found that incorporating music into the education of young minds not only enriches their lives with a profound art form but also nurtures skills and qualities that are invaluable for their holistic development.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section
