New Voices Join the Choir · Training Team Auditions · News

The music journey at Hsinmin Elementary never stops! Although the sixth-grade choir members have graduated and moved on, a new chapter is beginning. This year, the school successfully applied for the national "Arts and Aesthetics — Choral Education Promotion Plan," and a brand-new Choir Training Team will be formed at the start of the next school year.

The Training Team will meet every Tuesday morning during the school's morning activity time, filling the campus with beautiful music. Auditions for this new team were held on June 29, with a total of 13 enthusiastic students taking part — including students from Grades 2 to 4, and even two first-graders who couldn't wait to try. Their courage and passion for music was truly moving!

The teachers were so proud to see every student step up with confidence and give their very best on the spot. We look forward to seeing these young singers grow and shine on stage in the new school year. Keep working hard — we believe you will amaze everyone! 🎵🌟
