Music as an essential element of human expression is a rich and diversified art form.

Beyond its cultural merits, musical education also reinforces the learning of linguistic, listening, reading, analytical, creative, motor and social skills. This is why music is an integral part of CFIS’s educational programme starting as early as Preschool.

The main objective of the music programme is to develop music literacy (i.e. the ability to read, write and think music) and to nurture the student's appreciation for quality music. All students from Preschool to Grade 6 receive music instruction from a full-time music specialist. Junior High students may choose music as one of the two Arts options and are taught by a full-time music specialist.

All students participate in performances throughout the school year at assemblies, annual concerts and special events. Our award-winning Band Programme begins in Grade 5, offering both concert and jazz-band options.
