Applications open for Music Office’s music training programme Innovative Music Making: MO x e-Orch

     The Music Office of the Leisure and Cultural Services Department, in collaboration with the Education University of Hong Kong, will rerun the music training programme Innovative Music Making: MO x e-Orch from October to July next year. The training programme aims to promote the integration of music and technology on school campuses. Interested primary and secondary schools are invited to join the programme.
 
     Training targets of the Innovative Music Making: MO x e-Orch programme are Primary Four to Primary Six students and Secondary One to Secondary Three students. With the use of tablets, participants from each school will form a digital music orchestra (e-Orch), learn musical knowledge and music creation, and receive training on ensemble performance and collaborative creation. Upon completion of the training, students will join hands with the Western and Chinese instrumental ensembles of the Music Office to perform on stage at a public concert. Various awards and certificates of attendance will be presented to participating students at the public concert as encouragement.
