Music Elective Programme (MEP)

[Ler]

a friend of mine, his son play very well in violin and have grade 8 merit certificate and can drawn very well too. Could not get into Sota dsa this round. It seems like they will only take in kids, who are extremely talented & musical in this area. Then they will groom them .

Hi can someone advise what is the syllabus like? I read through all the threads but it all seems to be how to get into the programme.


Is it a lot of practical or theory or analysis or history of music ?

And does MEP = O level music?

MEP prepares students for O Level Higher Music, but whether you actually sit it depends on whether the school offers IP (can choose) or O Level (must take).

I don't take the MEP myself so I can't be sure, but looking at my MEP friends, they have practical exams and study music analysis, history etc too.

Hi everyone,


There is a difference between MEP and Music at ‘O’ and ‘A’ levels.
The MEP is taken from Sec 1 - 4.
The Music at ‘O’ level programme is taken from Sec 3 - 4.

There are many other secondary schools offering Music at ‘O’ level: Chung Cheng High Main, Anglican High, Catholic High etc.

If you are looking at IP schools, Temasek JC offers MEP in their 4-year IP programme which leads to MEP at ‘A’ Levels. They also offer TJC music scholarships to those who take the MEP. For JC applicants, there is DSA through MEP. They will begin their 6-year MEP programme from 2013.

National JC also offers a 6-year music programme which leads to Music at ‘A’ levels.

I think in most schools, a certificate is not everything. They may demand an audition, I heard. Or even a diagnostic test.
