The practical application of the
Montessori method is based on human tendencies - to explore
and share with a team yet retain independence and decision
making abilities, to create order and develop self-control
and to assimilate abstract ideas from experience and use
the creative imagination to perfect one's efforts.

Children delight in music, dance and movement
the
combination of musical rhythms, exhilarating movements and
dance steps bring great joy to their heart and soul. However,
music, dance and movement is not seen as merely satisfying
the children's artistic expression, it is an important aspect
towards understanding the life style, civilisation, culture
and custom of the different societies in our world, past
and present
thus the programme opens the children's
horizon in many aspects by giving them opportunities to
expand their explorations into these areas.

The basic elements of music are introduced through physical
awareness and creative movement
the children embark
on personal journeys up the pathway of self-understanding
and musical growth. In the course of their expedition, they
hone and refine their listening skills, broaden their study
of rhythms and tones and reinforce their sentiments on music
appreciation and artistic impressions.

The Children soon come to a realization that dance is a
joyous and gratifying channel for self-expression.

Whereas the drama programme schools the children in teamwork
whilst integrating at the same time skills in reading, writing,
memorizing and public speaking.
