Community

ONCE A LASALLIAN

Our SJI International alumni community is strong and remains connected globally.

Music is a universal language. It opens up a world of imagination that engages and inspires children, igniting a natural connection to rhythm and melody with the power to elicit thoughts, ideas and deep emotions. Music tells stories, paints pictures and engenders cultural unity. It has sustaining ingredients to help build the social, physical, emotional and spiritual aspects of all who listen and make music.

Ensemble Music Programme

Musical ensembles, either vocal or instrumental, are excellent opportunities for children to experience the joy of making music with others in their school community. Outstanding music tutors and faculty members lead our various ensembles.

Children develop a sense of belonging and take pride in learning and developing their skills to contribute to the excellence of each ensemble.

They also learn commitment and respect as they realise the importance of punctuality at rehearsals and how essential individual practice is to the success of each ensemble meeting.
 

 

The String Ensemble meets weekly and is open to all violinists and cellists. The ensemble performs regularly at assemblies and annual concerts.

The Junior and Senior Choirs form the SJI International Elementary Choir. Each Choir meets weekly for separate rehearsals, then combines as and when necessary in preparation for various performances. The Choir performs at the Annual Elementary Concert and Crib Service.

 

Instrumental Teaching Programme (ITP)  

(ITP) offers instrumental lessons to our children during the school day. Currently, we can offer lessons in Piano, Violin, Flute, Clarinet, Saxophone, Guitar, Trumpet, Voice, and Drums. We have a team of outstanding music tutors who are passionate and highly qualified in their specialist subjects.

Many opportunities are provided for our children to perform on their instruments, from the familiar classroom environment to the Annual Elementary School Concert and sometimes in public venues. Some pupils may take music examinations conducted by the Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music (ABRSM) and Trinity College of Music, London (TCM).
