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.

NPS Music Camp Speech by MC'06 President

.: NPS MUSIC CAMP 2006 :.

5th - 8th Oct
Assemble at Music Room, 12.30pm sharp
Attn: Have your lunch before reporting

Hey people! This is Timothy, President of Music Camp 2006. Along with my committee, I've organized a very fun-filled Music Camp for all of you! It is compulsory for everyone in NPS to attend the camp and many Alumni members are coming down for the camp too! Those who have not confirmed their attendance on the camp, pls contact Gloria or Kelvin immediately.

We are also making a Music Camp T-Shirt for everyone, so it would be great if everyone could pay $12 (which includes the shirt, food and other camp costs) for the camp by Saturday, 16th Sept 06, because we are rushing to get the shirts printed and the money collected so far is very little. So I hope everyone would cooperate with us and make this camp a successful one! See you all at the camp!


P.S. :

  • Those with attachment during the camp and only can come down after work in the evening, pls contact Gloria(94366043) or Kelvin(97369180)
  • Please refer to the entries below for the list of things which is needed to bring for the family concert.

Best Regards,
Timothy Ong
President of Music Camp 2006
