Music Opportunities

At St. Mark's, we believe that music is for everyone. That’s why we have been providing quality music education to all students of St. Mark's. It is never too early to start. So our courses for children are fun and enriching. St. Mark’s music curricula are designed to engage preschoolers and school-age children so that they develop a life-long love for music. Through a combination of imagination and exploration, your child will learn to enjoy and embrace music.

The philosophy of St. Mark's is to nurture the musicality that everyone is born with; develop their ability to create and play music; and encourage the joy of sharing music. Our comprehensive music education aims to develop abilities to play what you hear as well as written scores. The ability required to play what you hear is the ability to recognise the sounds you hear, to sing it in solfege, and to play the melody and accompaniment – being able to sing what you hear and play what you sing.

Timely education refers to learning at the appropriate physical and mental development stage. It’s our belief that the golden age to build a strong foundation in accurate pitch, rhythmic and instrumental training is from 4 to 6 years old, because it is at this stage that the hearing ability of young children is developing rapidly. That’s why young children naturally and effortlessly enjoy and absorb music.

Group lessons facilitate the sharing of the joy of music. Playing in an ensemble with friends allows them to have a rich musical experience and deepens the understanding of music. St. Mark's believes that group lessons are the most effective way to stimulate emotional and mental development of young children. Below are some of our students' musical performances.

Thai music has a character all its own and its performance requires an array of different instrumentation. Our students are taught the basics of Thai music, and we provide opportunities for those who wish to go deeper.
