ICSN MUSIC
At ICSN, we believe music is a powerful tool that nurtures creativity, discipline, and self-expression. Through music, students build confidence, develop teamwork, and engage deeply in cultural appreciation. From Kindergarten to Grade 12, students are invited to grow as performers, creators, and lovers of music.
