As children develop independence, we encourage them to continue their activities with Music Wonderland Programme, which provides a foundation for a structured and enjoyable study. By the end of the Programme, children will have learned a series of musical skills, which they will be able to apply to their chosen instrument.
The programme is divided into 2 levels as listed below.
