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.

moving of clubhouse

hi all including alumni

i believe most of you have heard about the demolition of block 73 and canteen one..
the area will be replaced with a culture theatre. thus by either the end of this year(dec) or beginning next year,
we will not have our music room and clubhouse anymore!!!! *sobx*
so you guys better cherish the place and freedom we have in our clubhouse now.
and keep the clubhouse and music room clean..

please please..please.. tell you all so many times already!!..
hahaha....
our new clubhouse..might not have this advantage (slacking in the clubhouse or just sitting around chatting)
that's all.. see you around in school and STRINGS TOO!!
please say hi to each other when entering clubhouse..!!!
and practise more.. EVALUATION coming!!
