Hiva Kakala - Tongan Bilingual and Music

Courses Description

Head of Pathway: Mrs K. Lousi.

Our module will allow students to develop and enrich their knowledge in Music and Tongan culture by integrating the two areas together. Students may perform as a soloist or as a member of a group. This will create an opportunity for students to develop musicianship skills and be able to sing Tongan songs (traditional & modern songs). 

By performing in a group, you will develop and show:

  • Literacy skills (reading & pronouncing in Tongan)
  • Technical skills in their musical performances
  • Musicianship skills 
  • Listening/aural skills
  • Interpretation of the performance items
  • Confidence and presentation skills
  • Communication - listening & sharing ideas
  • Participation, contribution within the group 

Students from any culture are welcomed to join our class
