JEMS Learning House(JEMS = Junior Excellent Members of Society)向以「培育社會傑出小成員」為己任,其品德教育課程以「Identity」、「Relationships」及「Community」三大元素為中心。今個夏天,JEMS Learning House將舉辦品德教育x古典音樂夏日暑期課程,由美國引入的課程集品德教育以及古典音樂元素,以舊曲新詞的形式為古典名曲填上關於誠實及堅忍等富意義的品德歌詞,為孩子貫注正面良好的價值觀。

課程將由JEMS Learning House創辦人馬露明校長,聯同三指鋼琴家黃愛恩親自教授,帶領4至8歲孩子探索古典音樂的世界,認識世界著名的作曲家及他們的作品,並從富意義的歌詞中學會誠實和堅忍的美德。黃愛恩縱然手指不健全,憑藉對音樂的熱誠考入香港中文大學音樂系,畢業後遠赴美國加州大學洛杉磯分校修讀民族音樂學,取得碩士及博士學位,並在香港多間專上學院教授世界音樂,更於2010年度榮獲十大傑出青年。

品德教育x古典音樂夏日暑期課程分為兩部分,各為期3日,適合4至5歲孩子的M1課程將教授一首名為《說真話》歌曲,以創意十足的歌詞配合小約翰‧施特勞斯的藍色多瑙河圓舞曲,教導學員誠實的真諦。黃愛恩博士將在適合6至8歲孩子的M2課程中分享她的故事及堅毅的重要,並透過約翰內斯‧布拉姆斯及舒曼的作品配以和主題有關的歌詞,鼓勵學員學習永不放棄的精神。

JEMS Learning House創辦人馬露明校長表示:「今年最新的夏日暑期課程為JEMS Learning House首次舉辦集品德教育與古典音樂於一身的課程,更特別從美國引入教材,期望孩子能藉欣賞古典音樂的同時,從富有創意的歌詞中學會誠實的美德,並透過黃愛恩博士的分享學會堅忍。」

Renowned as the expert of Character Education for children up to the age of 12, JEMS Learning House launches new programmes this summer in partnership with Dr. Connie Wong, renowned pianist and music educator. Based on the U.S. Character Classics curriculum, the values-based music programmes teach children important values such as honesty and perseverance through matching meaningful lyrics to classical music.

The Summer Music Programmes will be jointly conducted by Ms Christine Ma, Founder and Principal of JEMS Learning House, and Dr. Connie Wong, who will lead children from 4 to 8 to explore and learn to appreciate classical music, learn about composers and their work, as well as essential life values. Despite her congenital deficiency, Dr. Wong graduated at the Chinese University of Hong Kong in music. Then she earned her M.A. and Ph.D in ethnomusicology from the University of California, Los Angeles. She is currently teaching world music seminars and courses in various tertiary institutions. Dr. Wong is also a winner of the Top Ten Outstanding Young Persons of Hong Kong in 2010.

The Summer Music Programmes feature two 3-day programmes. Through the M1: Honesty programme for children aged 4 to 5, students will learn about Johann Strauss Jr. and his famous Blue Danube Waltz. Set to this musical number is “Tell the Truth”, a song about the importance of being honest. In the M2: Perseverance programme for children aged 6 to 8, Dr. Wong will share her personal experiences about the importance of perseverance and inspire students to apply perseverance in everyday life. The students will learn about Johannes Brahms and Robert Schumann and their exemplary work. Set to the musical pieces by these composers are songs about perseverance.

Ms Christine Ma, Principal of JEMS Learning House says, “The new values-based music curriculum is our first programme combining character education and classical music. Based on the Character Classics curriculum from the U.S. with modifications, students not only enjoy discovering the beauty of the melody but learn the importance of being honest through creative lyrics. They also learn perseverance from the sharing of a wonderful role model, Dr. Connie Wong.”
