Last Friday, G5 led our Chapel time with fun songs, moving skits, and a truth-filled message. The Elementary students were really captivated and delighted by all the wonderful things that our soon-to-be graduating class prepared and presented! Thank you G5 for serving Elementary and using your God-given gifts to bless us! A special shout out to Mrs. Shyr for all her hard work with the class!
If you missed it, here is a link to the G5 Chapel. Enjoy!

Private Music Lessons Registration for the 2023-2024 school year begins now!
Private lessons at MAK are available to all students (both elementary and secondary). Lessons are scheduled once a week for 30 minutes and will begin a week after the start of the semester. This is a wonderful opportunity for students to receive one-on-one music instruction during school hours. Students enrolled in music lessons are encouraged to perform at school concerts and activities.
- Lesson Scheduling:
Regarding scheduling, private lessons are usually scheduled during recess, PE, Mandarin, library, and quiet reading time. You may indicate in the sign-up form if you have a preferred lesson time; classroom teachers and music teachers will find a time that’s most appropriate to schedule each student’s music lesson. However, all private lesson schedules are not finalized until the principal’s approval. Please note that private lessons are not available during ASA hours on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Students are welcome to join the strings orchestra or band during ASA hours.
- Choices of instruments:
- Piano
- String instruments (violin, viola, cello)
- Loog Guitar, Ukulele, and Guitar (for upper ES and above)
- Recorder, Shining Piper (plastic mini flute), and Nuvo instruments
- Band instruments (flute, clarinet, trumpet, saxophone, trombone, baritone, and tuba) *Students younger than 3rd grade are not advised to start on regular band instruments because of physical size. Please sign up to learn the recorder, Shining Piper or Nuvo instruments instead.
- Absences
Please notify your music teacher a week in advance if your child will be absent. However, only absences due to test-taking, illness, or family emergencies will be made-up. Lessons missed due to personal reasons will not be made-up or refunded.
- Lesson Fee
We guarantee up to 15 lessons per semester at the cost of 7,895 NT per semester. The fee is not refundable if students choose to withdraw from private lessons after the first lesson has been scheduled. Please do not send money with your child to school. You will receive a bill shortly after the private lesson scheduling is finalized.
- Instrument Rental Fee:
The fee for instrument rental is 1,200 NT per semester.
The following instruments are not available for rental and students will be required to purchase their own: Loog guitar, guitar, recorder, ukulele, and Nuvo instruments.
