MPSPL and MSM team up to design new music programme for Methodist preschools

Music is an art that offers many proven benefits for the learning and development of the child. Research has shown that exposure to music from early childhood helps children speak with clearer articulation, develop varied vocabulary and grow depth in socio-emotional understanding. Music can also energise, induce relaxation and stimulate the mind. How then can music be used to teach God's truths in a seamless and holistic manner?

To this end, Methodist Preschool Services Pte Ltd (MPSPL) and Methodist School of Music (MSM) have teamed up to develop a faith-based music programme called the Methodist Music Odyssey (MMO). The pilot programme began in February this year for the K1 level and is slated to roll out at all MPSPL-managed preschools at both the K1 and K2 levels in 2024.
