Aesthetics: Music
Our Philosophy
The MCS music education aims to enable every student to have creative expression, allowing them to communicate through music and able to appreciate local and global music. The music curriculum also provides the basis to develop an informed and life-long involvement in music for our students.

MCS’ Got Talent
Similar to the concept of America’s Got Talent, MCS’ Got Talent is our in-house competition for students to showcase their talents in singing, dance or playing a musical instrument. Interested students go through the audition process with a solo or ensemble performance. Students who are successful in the audition, will get to showcase their performance during Teachers’ Day celebration and/or other events.
