Unleashing every student’s musical potential with Canadian International School Academy of Music

Canadian International School (CIS) recently launched an Academy of Music, which aims to nurture aspiring musicians by enhancing existing musical opportunities in school and creating new possibilities for CIS students to train, learn, and perform.

Under the Academy of Music, students will have varied opportunities. Primary and secondary students can participate in ensembles such as orchestra, choir, modern band and even music technology workshops. Other exciting activities include participating in external competitions, attending masterclasses with faculty at the local music conservatory, and having private lessons with professional instructors.

One of the academy’s unique offerings is school-day instrumental and vocal lessons, where students can learn how to play an instrument. They can also take buddy lessons with one or two friends from the same grade level. 

The Academy of Music builds upon CIS’s well-established music and arts programme, which offers numerous performance opportunities across different platforms such as concerts, musicals, and solo acts in recitals. CIS’s music programme has enabled many students to hone their musical skills and pursue music after graduation with acceptance into prestigious universities such as the Royal Academy of Music and participation in distinguished international programmes. Five IB diploma programmes students, for example, were recently accepted into the summer music programme at Berklee College of Music in Boston.
