The National Junior College Music Programme started out in July 2006 with levels IP1 and IP2. The programme has since grown considerably, extending its levels from JH1 (equivalent of Secondary 1) to SH2 ( the equivalent of JC2). The interdisciplinary curriculum is specially designed to encourage independent inquiry and active listening experiences, and the programme believes in providing students with a holistic learning experience. The student performers today consist of a selection of our JH music students. Please sit back and enjoy the music-making!

Admission is free.
