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.

intensive camp/additional practice

Hi all,
there will be a strings intensive training camp from the 2nd - 4th April 2009 (thursday - saturday).
This camp is COMPULSORY and is planned because the Repieno Concert is coming up and we need alot more practices to get you guys to improve more.
We hope that in this camp, you guys not only improve but also bond together. =)
Of course, there will also be games too! =)

*kindly inform me whether you guys are able to make it for the camp by 19th March 2009 (thursday).


Lastly, there will be an additional sectional practice on tuesdays starting 17th March 2009 from 1800hrs - 2000hrs.

This practice will be different from the rest of the practices. This sectional practice would prepare you for the ensemble practices on thursday so that you would be clear on what is going on.

However, attendance have been seriously LOW on all practice days. If you guys are not interested in strings anymore or would not like to play for Repieno, kindly tell me. If not, i would like to see all of you during practices.

*If for any reasons that you are unable to make it for practices for any reasons, kindly sms me together with your name and reason.
