Regular CCA Session Overview:

Wednesday Sessions: - Wednesday sessions are dedicated to combined practice under the guidance of our renowned conductor, Mr. Low Cher Yong.

Beyond music, students use this time for discussions related to leadership assignments and Values-in-Action (VIA) projects.
Friday Sessions: - Fridays are all about sectional practice, where students receive specialized instruction from our talented sectional instructors. Each section of the orchestra is led by a dedicated tutor: Mdm. Yan Yu for the pluckstring section; Ms. Janice Chua for the woodwind section; Ms. Guo Suwen for the cello and double bass section and Mr. Low Cher Yong for the Huqin and percussion section - These sessions allow students to refine their skills, technique, and musicality within their specific sections.
