Phonics

& Speech

Adding trusted ingredients such as phonics to enhance the quality of the oral presentation. 

Pronunciation

We incorporate aspects of phonics in our syllabus, based on the IPA (International Phonetic Alphabet)  to  hone students' pronunciation. Through vocal exercises and recitation practice, which target specific sounds, learners will improve their enunciation of phrases and learn to speak audibly and clearly.

Modulation & Vocal Power 

Through vocal training children will understand how to modulate their voice, articulate punctuation devices and correctly stressed syllables in words. Exercises will also focus on how to sustain vocal power through breath control and projection thus improving oral presentation on stage.

Drama

& Text 

Combining theatrical spices to prepare performance material and ignite learners' potential.

Literature​

The drama programme is inspired by popular fiction such as Roald Dahl or dramatic literature from play texts and musicals. Students will be exposed to a rich vocabulary 0f language and will learn to convey understanding of texts - content, subtext and context through body language, facial expression and vocal variety skills.

 

Theatre

Our syllabus involves a mixture of dramatic forms such as puppetry, physical theatre, musical theatre, as well as multi-media and animation to cater to different learning styles.  Learners who complete the drama  curriculum will have the confidence to interpret and respond imaginatively to dramatic literature  and master audience awareness skills.

Music

& Dance

Bringing together a seasoned team of musicians and dance choreographers to nurture star quality in each child.

Music

In our music programme, learners will understand how music may be used to underscore the mood or foreshadow events in the narrative of the text. Students will explore percussion instruments as well as sound effects to create atmosphere. ​Music is also used to guide learners' vocal variety skills as they vary their tone through an exploration of pitch, dynamic, speed of reading etc.

Dance

Through dance children will improve their expressions and coordination skill as they master  sequences in line with musical beats.  Dance forms such as contemporary dance, hip-hop and Latin dance maybe chosen  based on the style/ genre of text.
