A week for and with music at SUIS Pudong

Music Week 2015 focused on experiencing music as something we all can do – something that naturally lives and breathes within us. Give it a stage, a microphone or a few art supplies and you will hear it!

Five (!) concerts were held and gave students’ talents the chance to be in the spotlight of a full auditorium – stage fright, goofs and roaring applause inclusive. Not only were the performances exciting, but the selection of Western and Chinese instruments and music, including a rendition of New Zealand’s “Haka” by our KS2 Choir, were as well. Prior to the concerts, students had been busy recording a wish. Speaking wishes for others into a black box, 468 voices created sound art and filled our school with the notion that our own happiness is also the happiness of others.

Building various instruments at the Art Station and enjoying different musical genres at one of four Listening Stations completed an exciting week. By combining different musical experiences – listening, performing and instrument building – Music Week accompanied our students to learn through creativity, sound and interaction.
