A Welcome Note
This innovative curriculum has been crafted as part of the Chinese Whispers project and developed through extensive doctoral research. The goal of this curriculum is to make learning Mandarin Chinese and exploring Chinese culture an engaging and melodious journey through choral singing.
The Singing Curriculum is thoughtfully divided into two categories of songs:
Core Songs: These songs are designed to help you grasp various aspects of the language, such as everyday expressions, family members, colours, animals, festivals, and much more in Mandarin Chinese. It also includes songs that are created in response to requests from dedicated schoolteachers and students. They serve as valuable tools for mastering new words and sentences, enhancing your language skills.
Concert Songs: Immerse yourself in the enchanting world of traditional and classical Chinese music. These songs offer a delightful glimpse into the beauty and richness of Chinese musical heritage, allowing you to appreciate the cultural depth of the language.
