During the first two years, students are introduced to the fundamental essentials of music making. They will be exposed to simple note playing with the Erhu. Students will be engaged in music and movement lessons to build up their sense of rhythm. In Art, students are introduced to Elements of Arts via drawing with oil pastels and painting.
Primary 3 and 4
In the next two years, the music programme allows for students to develop further in their music skills. Lessons are designed based on Orff Approach and students will be able to try their hands on instruments such as xylophones. In Art lessons, students will be able to appreciate Traditional Cultural Art and Craft such as Batik Painting.

Students proceed from music theory knowledge to music composition and music performing. In these two years, students embark on various platforms, such as music making through software app, to build and hone various music skills.
