Symphonic Band
Join Our Band: A Journey into the World of Music
Our band offers a unique opportunity for individuals to learn how to read music and play instruments, regardless of prior musical experience. With the guidance of our experienced and qualified instructors, you'll be equipped with the skills you need to progress quickly. Additionally, our senior band members will serve as mentors, supporting you as you embark on this enriching, empowering, and enjoyable musical journey.
As a band member, you will not only develop musical proficiency but also grow as a person. You will become more confident, adaptable, and resilient as you explore various musical styles and genres. Practicing individually during sectionals or at home will foster self-discipline and independence, making you a self-directed learner. When you come together with the band, you will enhance your ability to work as part of a team, contributing to the collective sound and experience of the group.
Each band member plays a crucial role in the ensemble, no matter how small their part. Every contribution is vital to the success of our performances, reinforcing the importance of personal responsibility and commitment to the group.
Our practice sessions also emphasize mentorship and peer coaching, creating a collaborative environment where members actively support and uplift one another. These interactions foster teamwork, encourage personal growth, and cultivate a strong sense of ownership and responsibility within the band.
Join us and become part of a vibrant community where music brings people together, develops character, and inspires excellence!

Our Journey
Highlights of our CCA
"I chose band because I am interested in music and I wanted to try out what it would be like to join a symphonic band. After I joined band, I learnt how to play instruments and under the tutelage of the instructors and helpful seniors, we are able to learn a variety of theories, techniques in playing the instrument and values such as resilience.
Our CCA motto is, One Band, One Sound. That means we play and learn together as one band. Despite being split into different sections we are able to work together, as we believe that every person in the band counts. Even though we practice in separate rooms due to Covid-19 measures, we manage to learn together by helping each other out in times when we are having difficulties. This experience taught us how to persevere through the hard times, be more resilient and how to be a good team player.
My CCA helped me grow more as a person as it taught me to be more inclusive of others while working with then. With the help of my band seniors, I have been more active and motivated as a person. Thus I enjoy being in band." - Teo Eu Chia, Band Major (2018
