Music
at AST is an important part of school life from
elementary through to Grade 12. There is an
articulated curriculum that covers both performance
and theory aspects of music, with the mandatory
Elementary classes focusing on vocal and piano,
while Middle and High School elective classes
offer a choice of vocal and Hand Bells.
There
are two major concerts each year and several
lunchtime recitals. Each participating music
student is required to perform at the winter
and spring concerts, whereas the lunchtime recitals
are voluntary, and give an opportunity for all
AST students to share their musical talent with
their peers. In addition, our students regularly
perform outside the school campus for the broader
community, and give exchange concerts with other
schools in Taichung and Taipei.
