The Performing Arts team offers a wide range of programmes to cultivate appreciation and mastery of the arts. Our offerings include vocal and instrumental training, dance performance, theater studies, and music therapy, which uses music to address physical, emotional, cognitive, and social needs. We also provide specialized courses such as piano examinations, popular music production, film scoring, piano and string pedagogy and lyric-writing, among others.
In addition to performing arts programmes, we offer well-received Chinese culture courses. Our Chinese Tea certificate courses explore the rich history and traditions of Chinese tea culture, while our Wisdom of Chinese Classics series uncovers the cultural significance of ancient Chinese texts.
Whether through short courses or master's programmes, our dedicated team delivers a transformative learning experience that inspires individuals to excel in the performing arts and beyond.

This programme provides students with the opportunity to acquire advanced piano teaching skills by training them to develop their own teaching philosophies and methodologies as professional piano teachers. Topics on teaching methodologies, issues on private and group teaching, piano repertoire lists, studio policy and business will be covered. Observations on private and group studio teaching will be included in the programme.
This programme serves as a platform for students to share their musical experiences and knowledge through performing during the lessons. It provides students with an opportunity to perform in front of an audience (the whole class), and receive feedback and suggestions from the lecturer and other guest lecturers. The recital opportunity will further enhance students’ skills and musicianship, broaden their repertoire knowledge, and develop their interpretational abilities.
The programme explores representative solo keyboard repertoire from the Baroque period to the 20th century, ranging from the elementary to advanced levels (ABRSM Grade 3 to diploma level). Special attention will be given to stylistic distinction in representative keyboard works in relation to the socio-cultural context in which the music was created and performed.
The programme aims to prepare students to achieve advanced technical skills and competence as a piano performer and teacher. In addition to providing specialised training for students to improve their performance in piano playing, the curriculum also drills on students’ pedagogical knowledge and competence in piano teaching so that they can develop a range of teaching approaches when delivering piano lessons. The programme also covers research techniques and methods for students’ future pursuit of research.
