Music is a performing art. The general music program at ISPS
provides students with musical learning experiences which seek
to maintain a balance between musical knowledge and performance
skills. This is done through various learning activities
including singing, listening and appreciation, music theory,
improvisation, movement (responding to music), and learning to
play an instrument. Students can begin learning, or continue to
play a range of instruments including percussion, recorder,
violin, viola, cello, guitar, keyboard, drums, and the steelpan.
Students in the Elementary School are engaged in all aspects of
the program. Middle and High School students focus on music
theory, singing, and instrumental ensembles. The flexibility of
the program offers both Middle and High School students who can
already play wind or brass instruments the opportunity to
participate in the instrumental ensembles. Weekly after school
classes are held on Tuesdays and Fridays in String playing and
String Orchestra.
Throughout the year students are required to perform and
showcase their skills at scheduled programs. These include Town
Meetings, International Day, Holiday Concert, Carnival, the
Annual Music Recital towards the end of the academic year, and
community events such as the Biannual Music Festival of Trinidad
and Tobago.
