Music Teaching
Build the Pathway to the IGCSE
There will be three main parts in each music lesson. We will have the listening part, the learning part and the instrument-to-play part. In the listening part, students will listen to different styles of music, western music and some classical music. In the learning part, we will follow the British curriculum, learn stage by stage from the very basic theory and hopefully to build their knowledge. So eventually they can build the pathway to the IGCSE. And for the instrument-to-play part, each year, they will learn at least one instrument. They will learn the basic technique how to play the instruments and also relate to the knowledge definitely they learn in the learning time. My job is helping you to be the password from the very early stage step by step. So in the future, you can find out that you have the strong knowledge background to to do the IGCSE.
Susan
I always felt lucky as I learnt and am working on something I love, music. I walked a long way to be able to deeply admire the might and beauty of classic music, and I am always more than happy to share that with my pupils and others around me. Classic music is very often wordless, and thus purer and deeply touching, and as I always believe, emotion forms important part in youth development regardless of race and nationality. So I like to make the type of music that’s commonly shareable and can break through fences between hearts.
