Music has always been the essence of Kinderland’s curriculum. Formed in 2010, the Kinderland Preschool Marching Band takes pride in being the first and only preschool marching band in Singapore. During the pandemic, Kinderland Preschool Marching Band formed the first virtual marching band. Music plays a vital role in the development of every Kinderland child and being part of a marching band reinforces the children’s musical knowledge and motor skills. It also fosters discipline and teamwork and enables children . These elements are crucial for the healthy growth of a child.

Song List

Consider Yourself

This song is symbolic and timely given how we are transitioning to post-pandemic life. We faced many challenges that we endured and conquered. The song represents the strength in all of us as one family and exhibits the children’s enthusiastic spirit and strong friendship. We have selected this song as it showcases the musical skills children hone from playing the drums (snare, tenor and bass drum) and other instruments like marimba, xylophone, glockenspiel and portable keyboard.

Doraemon

This song is a familiar tune that never fails to put a smile on people’s faces. This song showcases the children’s understanding of a formation and their excellent drumming skills. The formation also allows for ample display of spatial awareness and directionality.

Both tunes seek to empower, train the children’s motor skills and reinforce their musical knowledge.
