Hello to all incoming and existing students of NTU. A new academic year is almost upon us, and we are recruiting! We welcome all string lovers of any level to join us, as parts of the groups below that make up our club.

Main Orchestra

If you have a grade 8 and above in any string instrument and/or at least 2 years of experience in a string orchestra/ensemble, we welcome you to join our Main Orchestra. We will be putting up our annual concert, Journey ‘09, on 3^rd October. Practices are held mainly on Saturday mornings, with additional sessions as the concert draws near. Sectionals are mainly conducted on weeknights.

Training Orchestra

If you have been learning a string instrument for some time but do not fall under the category described above, do join us in the Training Orchestra. This group is made up of our intermediate players and we will be presenting Stringendo, our Training Orchestra’s concert, for the second time this academic year (March 2010). This is a rare chance for intermediate strings players to gain experience playing in an orchestra and some improve so much that they move up to the Main Orchestra after some time. Practices are held on a weeknight and sectionals on either another weeknight or Saturday afternoon.

If you are interested in joining the 2 groups mentioned above, please do not hesitate to contact us at This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it .

 We will then inform you regarding auditions and the next practice date. You can also register your interest with us at our booth during Welcome Week (17^th-19^th August).

Beginners’ Group

If you have always wanted to learn a string instrument but never had the chance, you can join our Beginners’ classes. We provide group classes at preferred rates with our excellent instructors. The group showcases their newly-learnt skills during our annual A String Gaderian recital in June and move up to our Training Orchestra after that if they are ready.  We offer classes in violin, viola and cello.

Violin classes are held on Saturday mornings, while Viola and Cello classes are held on weeknights. Lessons will begin sometime between late August and early September. So do drop by our booth during Welcome Week to sign up and/or get more information about us.
