Our aim of Performing Arts Education is to instill a love of Art, Dance and Music and to develop a child's intellectual faculties i.e. imagination, memory, social skills, self-expression and self-confidence.

Through singing, the child can relieve internal tension and becomes emotionally balanced. Learning the words, melody and actions of a song also help develop the child’s memory. Via musical games, the child learns to express feelings, act out roles and create imagination. Friendship is formed when the child has enjoyed taking part in an activity. As a result of music instrument playing, discipline, flexibility, physical strength, fine motor skills and co-ordination are developed. As a result of musicianship, the child is able to read, write, hear and think music, which are viewed as the foundation for effective and lasting musical education.

Our Montessori goals are to develop independence, inner discipline and to foster a sense of competence through a prepared environment.

In the Practical Life domain, daily living materials are designed to develop independence. The materials are introduced to the child by demonstrating the precise sequence and methods of practical exercises such as pouring, buttoning, caring for plants and preparing a table. The Sensorial materials are to provide stimulation for each sense and to sharpen perceptual skills. Equipment is used to emphasize visual, olfactory sense and auditory discrimination. For Conceptual Development (Academic), language, reading, writing and mathematical skills evolve from repetitive manipulation and understanding of more basic skills. Equipment such as sandpaper letters are designed for the child to see and feel, number rods of varying lengths and golden beads are used to develop mathematical skills in a tactile fashion. Geography, History and Cultural activities will be introduced to the child in a later period based on their interests. All of these subjects contribute towards the child becoming a knowledgeable and wellrounded person.

The Yip’s Music & Montessori approach to educate is a perfect partnership, which allows the development of the whole personality of a child.
