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.

Strings Side please take note of this. From the start of holidays onwards, all freshies in Intermediate Beginner/Advanced Class MUST join the Main Ensemble practices on Thursday 7.30pm to 9.30pm and Saturday 12.30pm to 4pm. So, ALL INTERMEDIATE CLASSES WILL CEASE AT THE START OF MARCH. Because march is holiday time, so it will be a better time for all of you to adapt to a newer timing that will be fixed from Year 2 onwards. I hope that all of you will try your best to make it for both practices as they are compulsory.

*Please pass this message on to everyone you know. Thanks
*For people in Shar's class. Practice will start at 7.30pm instead of 6.30pm.

This is an update for all guitar practice days.

Practice dates for February: 5th, 6th, 12th, 13th

As all of you are now part of the main ensemble, Tuesday classes will stop and everyone is to come for Thursdays and Fridays. Mr Alex class on Friday is COMPULSORY!

Practices will resume on the first week of March after the exams. However, Tuesday class might resume if you all want it or if we feel that the progress is not up to standard. I understand you all will be busy for this month and all but I expect everyone to be in tip-top condition for the holidays once the exams are over so there is no need to come back trice a week.

All the best for your projects and exams!
