The Performing Arts team offers a wide range of programmes to cultivate appreciation and mastery of the arts. Our offerings include vocal and instrumental training, dance performance, theater studies, and music therapy, which uses music to address physical, emotional, cognitive, and social needs. We also provide specialized courses such as piano examinations, popular music production, film scoring, piano and string pedagogy and lyric-writing, among others.
In addition to performing arts programmes, we offer well-received Chinese culture courses. Our Chinese Tea certificate courses explore the rich history and traditions of Chinese tea culture, while our Wisdom of Chinese Classics series uncovers the cultural significance of ancient Chinese texts.
Whether through short courses or master's programmes, our dedicated team delivers a transformative learning experience that inspires individuals to excel in the performing arts and beyond.
