Guitar Ensemble

The Dunman High Guitar Ensemble (DHSGE) was established in 2007 as an interest group by no more than 10 students in the pioneer IP batch. With a strong passion for music and much diligence, they were dedicated to striving for excellence. DHSGE, known for both its expression and diversity in music, has been consistently awarded Certificates of Distinction at the Singapore Youth Festival Arts Presentation (SYF). This achievement would not have been possible without the support of the school, teachers, conductor (Mr Kevin Yeo) and parents. The entire journey to the SYF is not an easy one. For most of us, it is our first time learning to play the guitars in Year 5. The preparation for the SYF has shown us the importance of teamwork. Everyone is important and has a part to play. It is not about how well we can play as individuals but rather it is how well we can work together as an ensemble. 

The strength of the ensemble is only as strong as its weakest members. DHSGE strives to provide a fun yet enriching platform for amateur guitarists to develop their musical potential. Priding itself on the versatility of the guitar, DHSGE performs a wide range of pieces, from self-arranged, modern pop songs, movie theme songs to classical pieces at various events including concerts and various performances for charity. DHSGE will continue to do our utmost best in the coming years to bring our ensemble to greater heights.
