Hlanganani’s choir explores cultural songs
"Children who sing in choirs at the school get significantly better grades, improved memory and homework habits and are better team players."
Hlanganani Preparatory School‘s choir led by Buyi Xolo and assisted by Mbali Makaye and Thoblie Hlophe, is a vibrant and lively choir consisting of learners mostly from Grade 6 and Grade 7.
The choir is busy practicing accapela songs and exploring different cultural songs. The learners are exposed to popular music and the choir tries to incorporate these popular songs. Learners are also encouraged to compose music as this may help them to discover hidden talents.
According to different studies, children who sing in choirs develop advanced skills in teamwork, leadership and perseverance. Children who sing in choirs get significantly better grades, improved memory and homework habits and are better team players.
Singing in a choir not only adds the beauty of music to a child’s life but also lifelong skills, and character traits that will have a huge influence on the choices they make as adults.
The netball and volleyball teams are wished all the very best as they prepare to play at the Port Shepstone Senior Primary winter sports day this Saturday.
