Sharing our appreciation for music –
The impact of music making on the lives of children and young people is immeasurable. In our project, we will be involving children in workshop sessions in which they play/ sing, improvise, create and perform their own music. Through active participation, these experiences aim to engage, stimulate and entertain.
Working with students of different age groups would also give us the opportunity to tailor workshop materials to suit our audience, and to develop our workshop leading and communication skills.
Promoting Woodwind Playing -
While the piano and the violin are popular instruments to learn among children in Singapore, there is a general lack of awareness for woodwind instruments. These are usually introduced to students through wind bands at the age of 13.
Through our combination of instruments (Flute, Oboe, and Clarinet), we wish to encourage an interest for woodwind playing, from the primary age.
Cultural exchange through music-making -
We hope to emphasise our diverse cultural backgrounds, by presenting repertoire from each of our home countries. Besides working with our regular repertoire, we will integrate English and Spanish folk music into our workshop materials.
