Early Years
At Skill Stork International School, the music curriculum offers a progressive learning experience, starting in the Early Years. Children engage with music through activities like singing nursery rhymes and playing percussion instruments such as tambourines, maracas, castanets, clave sticks, xylophones, and shakers. These activities develop rhythm, melody, and motor skills while fostering a love for music.
Primary Years
In the primary years, the program broadens to explore various musical genres, from pop to classical. Students focus on improving their singing techniques with proper pitching and vocal control, and they learn the elements of music, such as rhythm, melody, harmony, and dynamics. They experiment with instruments like keyboards, bongos, djembes, and cajons, encouraging self-expression and creativity. Teachers provide guidance, helping students build confidence and a strong foundation in music performance.
Secondary Years
In the secondary years, the focus shifts to refining techniques and performance skills. Students learn to accompany themselves on instruments like guitars, keyboards, and drums, and practice vocal techniques using karaoke tracks and microphones. They analyze songs, exploring aesthetics, emotions, and expressions, deepening their connection to the music. The program emphasizes both practical and theoretical aspects, with students composing music and collaborating in performances. This approach builds teamwork, artistic presentation, and stage presence.
