To qualify for the MEP at secondary level, you must irst gain entry into the Express course / Integrated Programme (IP) in the selected school. You should then apply for the programme upon admission to the school. You will need the following minimum qualiications:

How do I join the MEP? Frequently Asked Questions

Can I

use my Higher Music grade to gain entry to

a Junior College?

Admission to a Junior College is by merit and is based on the L1R5 ag-

gregate. MEP students at the Secondary level may use their Higher Music grade

in lieu of a Humanities grade in the calculation of their L1R5 aggregate

to gain entry into Junior Colleges.

Do I

have to learn a 2nd instrument?

You can sit for both the ‘O’ and ‘A’ Level Music Examinations with the

knowledge of a single instrument. How-ever, if you wish to widen your scope of musical learning, you are encouraged

to pick up another instrument, or join a music-related CCA in

your school.

Can

I leave the MEP at any time?

MEP students are expected to remain in the programme for four years (Secondary) or two years

(JC). A withdrawal is only considered under special circumstances and on a

case-by-case basis.

Thoughts from the MEP Alumni...

“The Music Elective Programme was a unique opportunity to go off the beaten track and explore alternatives to the Singaporean education treadmill; a great chance to learn and do something completely different. It’s certainly sowed the seeds for where I now work as an ethnomusicologist and teacher at Royal Holloway.”

Shzr Ee Tan (Dr.)Director, MMus and Postgraduate Diploma ProgrammesSenior Lecturer, Music DepartmentRoyal Holloway, University of London

“I have truly enjoyed my time in the Music Elective Programme. I gained a deeper under-standing of music, had multiple opportunities to grow as a performer and developed a keen interest in musicology, which I have later continued to explore at university.”

Chow Pei YanMEP Teacher

Anglo-Chinese Junior College

“MEP at A-Level was the most important 2

years of my early musical journey. MEP made

me realise that even though music is a tough

pursuit, I really was passionate about it and

that I wanted to make it my life. The rigour and

intensity of the program along with nurturing

teachers really helped to shape my mindset for

my current professional interest. I also made

lifelong friends along the way and I strongly

encourage any aspiring young musician to join

the program.”Diana Soh (Dr.)

Composer, NAC Young Artist Award 2015 Recipient

“I grew up with the Music Elective Programme,

being very clear that I would pursue it at both the

O and A levels. The programme is one which enabled

me to explore the diverse gen

res of music, spanning

historical periods and cultures. The programme stirred

in me the wonderings of a music analyst, t

he thinking

of a historian and the creativity o

f a composer. It

also instilled in me habits of mindful practice as

a

performer and respect as a crit

ical listener. It not

only helped me appreciate the connection

s between the

macro architecture of music and its inner workings, it

also taught me to always honour the creative process.

This has many applications for me as an educational

leader, now and for the future.”

Mary Seah-Wong

Principal of Tanjong Katong Girls’ School

“The highlight of MEP for me was the Malay and Indian music syllabus, which had a permanent effect on my composition career. I recounted the story of the legendary Malay sisters with asli and zapin dances in “The Sisters’ Islands” (Singapore Composer Award 2006), and weaved gong kebyar, pelog scales and Indian style melodies into “Conluence” (2009). Thus, through MEP, I developed not just as a musician, but as a culturally sensitive Singaporean musician.”

Wang ChenweiComposer and Audio Engineer, Wei MusicHead of Research, The TENG Company

“MEP opened up the world for me in an age

before the Internet. Absolutely life cha

nging!”

Ng Tian Hui

Director of Orchestra & Lecturer in Music,

Mount Holyoke College

― Victor Hugo
