MUSiC The quality of music-making in the College is outstanding, with students performing at an exceptionally high level, and a significant number progressing to careers in music. The curricular music programme is supported and extended by the Activities programme, available from Grade 2 to Grade 12. The goal of the Activities programme in music is to provide students with a path to pursue music at increasingly high levels, by enabling them to get involved at their individual ability level and giving them opportunities to perform. There is a broad range of ensembles at the College, covering choral music, orchestral music, jazz and rock bands. There are both participatory and auditioned ensembles, allowing everyone the opportunity to take part while providing the more advanced students with the opportunity to make music at the very highest level. 24 Students taking Associated Board or Trinity College exams last year Students taking instrumental music classes at the College Students and staff performing at the Esplanade in Opus 2011 The main focus for the 2010/2011 year on Dover Campus was on building capacity, particularly in those instruments that traditionally students have not chosen to study, including the lower brass and lower strings. This will result in more balanced ensemble groups and the ability to expand the repertoire. With students from Grades 2–6 eligible for the Activities programme on East Campus, the focus in 2010/2011 was on providing students with the opportunity to perform in ensembles. Instrumentalists and singers participated in bands, string ensembles, the recorder ensemble or any of three choirs. Performance opportunities In 2010/2011, as in all years, music ensembles on both campuses were in high demand to perform at assemblies, events, fund raisers and parent evenings. All students had the chance to experience this important part of their musical development. Opus 2011 was the highlight of the musical year on Dover Campus with 540 students and staff performing at the Esplanade. Infant and Junior ensembles performed at assemblies, while intermediate and senior groups performed at dedicated concerts on campus. In Term 3, every ensemble performed at the Yong Siew Toh Conservatory of Music at the National University of Singapore. The ensembles also supported two major musicals from the Drama Department: Oliver! In Term 1 and Oh! What a Students involved in the music part of the activities Students participating in the Instrumental Teaching Programme Lovely War in Term 3. Rock musicians performed at two concerts, Acoustica and Electrica, as well as at events and assemblies throughout the year. East Campus ensembles also performed in assemblies and at concerts throughout the year, culminating in a Night of Stars concert featuring all ensembles at the Yong Siew Toh Conservatory of Music in June 2011. Instrumental Teaching Programme Both campuses offer an extensive instrumental teaching programme which, as well as developing each student’s individual ability, increases the standard of ensemble playing across the College. Students also take Associated Board and Trinity College exams. Number of instruments offered
dRaMa The drama Activities programme complements and extends the curricular programme, allowing students to get involved in all aspects of drama production, from performance to design and technical support. All drama productions at the College are extra-curricular, so that productions are open, resulting in dramatic activity that is not connected to any single department or group of students. Performers are encouraged to see themselves as part of a broader College company—the United Arts Theatre. The goal of the drama programme is to give students the opportunity to develop those skills of confidence, presentation and communication that will support them whatever path they pursue in the future. The immense creativity of the programme is showcased through a series of productions that evidence the drive towards excellence in the programme—productions that elicit the reaction: “I cannot believe they are students.” Middle School students involved in drama activities and production in 2010/2011 High School students appearing on stage in a variety of productions in 2010/2011 25
