This session will be a sharing of Derek and Carmen’s experiences as a Band teachers-in-charge in developing student leaders of the band with 8 skill-groups in focus, as part of the student development plan at Anglo-Chinese School (Independent).

Harnessing on the events and concerts organised by the Band, the student leaders are given the platform to work with teachers and conductors and to exercise their leadership to bring these concerts and activities to fruition, with teachers tasked to mentor and oversee students’ progress, with the goal to enhance teacher-student relationships in the process.

Through their band journey in ACS(I), we hope that our students will be equipped with soft skills that are very important in life, as well as some knowledge of arts and concert administration that will be useful for their future artistic endeavours.
