We are fortunate at Boutcher to have the opportunity to learn a range of instruments and enjoy weekly singing sessions. What does learning an instrument and / or singing mean to you? What do you think are the benefits for you and your classmates? 

I feel lucky to have the chance to learn instruments like the piano and drum kit. For me, learning these instruments means more than just playing music – it helps me express myself, improve my focus, and feel more confident. Playing the piano teaches me patience and discipline, while drumming helps me with rhythm and energy.
I think music benefits all of us in different ways. It helps build teamwork when we play together, and singing in a group brings a strong sense of community. Music can also improve our memory and mood, and it's a fun break from regular lessons. Overall, learning instruments and singing makes school more enjoyable and helps us grow in creativity and confidence.

I am really passionate about violin 🎻 and piano 🎹. I like to learn piano with miss Lam who is always helping us to achieve our goals. In my opinion, music means a lot, I really benefit from both instruments as it always makes me feel happy. I am always determined to pass my exams and I really like practicing new songs. I think it will be good for all of us to learn an instrument as it will brighten up our future.
