Christmas started early for the students, parents, teachers, and staff who are a part of the Northbridge Community Choir. On Sunday 4 November they sang at the Women’s International Group’s (WIG) annual Christmas Fair.
It was an exciting day for our singers as they got to see some other school and local community choirs performing. They also got to enjoy all the yummy food and Christmas knick knacks for sale as well as participate in some Christmas themed activities.
When the Northbridge Community Choir took the stage, they were a little nervous as it was their first gig! No one in the audience would have known that though as they sang confidently and showed lots of enthusiasm. Lots of grade 3 students came to join the choir in singing a Christmas favourite “Let it Snow” and a fun, more modern song called “Making Christmas Cookies.”
Thank-you to many people from the Northbridge community coming and being a supportive audience. Hopefully we can get more of the community up on stage with us in the future.
If you are interested in joining the Nortbiridge Community Choir please contact Ms. Jenn at jennifer.harris-lowe@nisc.edu.kh.
We practice every Thursday from 3:45-4:30. No prior singing experience is necessary, it’s a great way to meet others in the community, practice your English, and have fun singing!
Playing a musical instrument offers a wide array of benefits that extend far beyond the joy of making music. Whether you're learning to play the piano, trumpet, guitar, violin, or any other instrument, the advantages are profound and diverse, touching on cognitive, emotional, and social aspects of life.
Dance, an activity common to all cultures and as old as old can be, allows children at Northbridge International School Cambodia to simultaneously connect to a sense of unison and self-expression.
In today's academic climate of specialisation, the arts remain crucial for developing well-rounded, empathetic individuals, such as the students at Northbridge International School Cambodia. Drama deserves recognition for its unique role in cultivating the "whole child" from a young age.
The Northbridge International School Cambodia Choir had an extremely busy festive season at the end of 2023 and what a pleasure it was to lead them through this mammoth undertaking!
