On Friday the 15th of December, the Secondary School students were treated to a dazzling Brass Quintet Concert and Lecture performance, led by Saint Maur instrumental teachers Jun'ichiro Murakami and Mariko Wakabayashi as part of their homeroom time.
Every year in May, many students at Saint Maur take part in Trinity Music Examinations. These are prestigious and internationally recognised performance qualifications issued by the famous Trinity College conservatoire in London. Students who are signed up to our private instrumental lesson program typically take part in the exams, as this gives the students an excellent curriculum to learn with the opportunity to record a solo recital at the end of the academic year.
In September and October, members of Tokyo College of Music's Jazz Ensemble joined the Saint Maur High School Big Band for two incredible rehearsals.
In June, 33 of our talented Grade 9 to 12 High School students embarked on an unforgettable cultural journey to London, immersing themselves in the world of art, drama, and history. For one week, the students, specializing in either Art or Drama, explored the vibrant heart of the city while participating in a range of exciting and educational activities.
At the start of this month, students in Middle School and upper Elementary School were treated to a sensational performance by one of Saint Maur's Music teachers, Christina Foster. This event was part of our Concert & Lecture series and featured a wide variety of violin music in a huge range of contrasting styles.
Last weekend, Saint Maur proudly hosted the inaugural KPASS Dance Festival. We welcomed approximately 100 students from seven international schools in Yokohama and Tokyo, including The American School in Japan, Aoba Japan International School, International School of Sacred Heart, Malvern College Tokyo and Seisen.
Before the Spring vacation, Saint Maur was delighted to once again host a joint Jazz Big Band Concert with Tokyo College of Music. This is the third time that the jazz ensembles have collaborated and once again students learnt a great deal from this inspiring experience.
We are excited to share a glimpse into the vibrant and creative world of our Middle School as we recap the spectacular drama play that unfolded last week Friday.
