Music
In UPS, we believe that music, alongside visual art and physical education, is an important part of every child’s holistic education. Hence, all our music programmes are geared towards providing our students with plenty of opportunities to explore, develop and share their music talents and skills.
The goal of the Music Department is to promote, encourage and develop the love for music-making amongst students through engaging, challenging and fun-loving activities, in line with the standards set by the General Music Programme Syllabus.
The Music Department hopes that every student is be able to confidently sing, play instrument and appreciate music through dance and movement activities. Every music lesson should be a celebration of students’ effort, creativity and artistry. Everyone should be able to support and show care for one another, lifting each other up to achieve synergy, harmony and unity.
Key Programmes
To ensure all students have good foundation in music, our learning outcomes are organised around overarching Learning Objectives (LO).
Our students learn these LO in an integrative manner, where elements and concepts are discovered sequentially through active musical experiences.
Our P1 and P2 students learn music foundation through singing activities, musical games, movement and non-pitched percussion instruments.
Our P3 to P6 students are offered opportunities to learn to play musical instruments such as the recorder, xylophone and ukulele.
Aside from various music experiences in the classroom, all students are also encouraged to showcase their talents during school events such as National Day and for the P6 students, during their Graduation Day.
Unity Got Talent
Unity’s Got Talent started in 2017 to provide students with opportunities to hone, express and share their talents. Students step up by auditioning, rehearsing and performing during National Day. Through the experience, it inculcates school values, civic literacy and national identity. It is an event that both the teachers and students look forward to, where contestants compete and represent their house colours, proving that they have the talent and heart for the nation.
