The Ministry of Education (MOE) and National Arts Council (NAC) have jointly developed Performing Arts-Based Learning (PABL), a new initiative that will be progressively rolled out to all secondary schools from 2024 to 2027. Here are five reasons why families should be excited about this innovative programme:
PABL aims to deepen students' appreciation for live music performances by providing them with the opportunity to experience bespoke live music in professional arts and cultural venues. This exposure can foster a lifelong love for music and the arts.
Students will be introduced to Singaporean artists and arts groups, including Cultural Medallion and Young Artist Award recipients.
This not only cultivates a sense of pride in local talent but also helps students understand the richness of Singapore's cultural heritage.
PABL strengthens students' ability to make connections between classroom music learning and authentic music experiences. By attending live performances, students can see the practical applications of their classroom lessons, enhancing their overall learning experience.
The programme includes a variety of engaging performances such as:
Our Singapore Songbook by Metropolitan Festival Orchestra: A guided listening journey that celebrates Singapore's multicultural core.
SCOTIFY by Singapore Chinese Orchestra: Inspired by Spotify, this programme allows students to curate their own concert playlist.
Expression Avenue by Singapore Symphony Orchestra: Explores how composers draw influences from their environments to create masterpieces.
Songsmith: Singapore Songs and Songwriting by The Esplanade Co. Ltd. and Inch Chua with Metronome Collective: Provides insights into Singaporean music and the art of songwriting.
By exposing students to local works and artists, PABL helps them forge a deeper sense of identity and community. This connection to Singapore's arts and cultural heritage can instil a sense of belonging and pride in their national identity.
With more than 12,000 students from 48 schools expected to attend bespoke live music concerts by the end of 2024, PABL is set to make a significant impact on the cultural education of Singaporean youth. Families can look forward to the enriching experiences and opportunities that this programme will bring.
