History Of The Club

Ngee Ann Polytechnic Strings and Guitar ensemble (NPS) was established in 1992 by Mr.Gan See Wee, with the goal of promoting classical music amongst students. The club started out with a meagre 10 members and has since developed progressively to lots of members currently.

Ngee Ann Polytechnic Strings has performed at many outdoor events and functions. The main annual events are Virtuoso and Family concert. Other than performances, Ngee Ann Polytechnic Strings also organises various activities like the annual Music camp and Tea party to facilitate more bonding and a sense of unity between the club's members.

And to facilitate our new members, we also organise Guitar/Strings Fairs where we bring guitar/strings products and accessories to our club from vendors like Synwin, Maestro Guitars etc. This is to give them an opportunity to try and test the instruments with ease and also buy them at more affordable prices.

In the year 2006, Niibori Guitar was introduced to our club and has also played the instrument for the first time during our Virtuoso 13th Concert.

The club also aims to further inspire the club members to strive to bring the club to greater heights and to further enhance the reputation of Ngee Ann Strings by constantly performing at various functions outside school, which would bring greater glory to Ngee Ann Polytechnic.

Update For Strings Side

Hey guys, congrats and well done to all who made the Family Concert a lovely success...I am sure everyone plus their respective family members and friends who they brought along all enjoyed themselves.


And not forgetting to congratulate Gina and the rest of her Family Concert 2005 commitee who did a fantastic job.



Right, so whats in store for the Strings side of the club?

Practice for freshies for this week (31st Oct - 5th Nov), well....

Take a break guys, no practice has been scheduled for you guys, as a whole new practice schedule is being drawn up, so enjoy the first week of school!

You will know your new practice dates by the end of this week...similarly, the new info will be posted right here online and should be on the notice board as well.



For String Seniors however, practice resumes as usual on Saturday(5th Nov) at 12pm, together with the ENTIRE cello section.

Yeap, thats all.

Sorry guitar people, I am not too sure about your practice times, so rather than posting something that might not be accurate, go ask your instructors ok?


Cheers.
