Enriching and extensive learning experiences in the study and application of Music are provided to enable students to attain advanced levels of musicianship, and to deepen their passion and understanding. Each student will become a musician in the truest sense of the word, equipped with the skills to analyse, compose, perform, research and critique.

Curriculum
TJC’s MEP also offers H3 Music, an intellectually challenging course which exposes students to the wider scope of music as a discipline. This is taught via a multi-dimensional approach to elicit critical thinking and discussion.
Beyond the curriculum, authentic learning experiences are provided to equip our students to be practitioners and advocates of the arts, and to apprise them of areas of study at tertiary music institutions and career opportunities in the music industry.
