With growing attention from parents on their children’s musical education, how do we make music fun rather than a burden? What do we most value in our musical education? What should parents pay attention to, and what should they leave to the teachers? How do we create a warm, nurturing and joyfully musical atmosphere?
On January 8, 2016, YK Pao School will present a panel talk with former Director of Music at Eton College Ralph Allwood, Violist and Professor at Shanghai Conservatory of Music Prof Jensen Lam and FM947 Anchor Ms Hong Yun, to discuss how educators can provide the best musical education for children. We warmly invite parents to share, exchange and brainstorm.
In addition, the 2016 Ralph Allwood Choral Course will be officially launched at the event. More information on the programme will be provided on site.
Date: Friday, January 8, 2016, 6:00-8:00pm,
Venue: YK Pao School Primary Division Auditorium (20, Lane 1251 West Wuding Road)
Event will run in both English and Chinese.
Free entry via online registration
