Music Recitals

This term will be hosting our final Music Recitals of the year. Learners of any age and ability are invited to participate to showcase each child's learning and musical journey this year. This terms Music Recitals aim to be a celebration culminating the hard work and effort that the tutors and learners have put in throughout the year.

Whilst we are still waiting to hear from the CPE if we will be allowed to host these live and invite parents to attend the performance, regardless we will be hosting this event in one format or another. The aim is for the Primary Recitals to take place Tuesday 4th May and Secondary Recitals Tuesday 11th May.

If you are having lessons within school, please begin discussions with your tutor, expressing your wishes to get involved; if you have lessons outside of school you are also welcome to participate however you will need to email music@nexus.edu.sg to express your interest.

What to do next:

Speak with your teacher
Decide on 1 song
Begin to practise
Finally be performance ready. (A polished and confident performance is required.)

ABRSM and Trinity Music Examinations

At Nexus, many of our learners play an instrument and participate in the ABRSM (Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music) or the Trinity College Music Exams (Classical or Rock and Pop). These don't just offer a platform to perform or an incentive to practise, they provide structure of learning and enhance instrumental and performance skills. Our learners that follow these examinations end up being those that excel in music and have a life long learning and passion for performance.

I understand many of our learners take these examinations whether they learn an instrument as part of the Nexus Instrumental Programme or privately outside of school, We would like to start sharing successes and welcome learners and parents to email us when results are received so we can share with our wider community. Many learners are still awaiting result, so if you receive them before our next newsletter please email music@nexus.edu.sg
