As such, some playing skills and knowledge of music theory is essential. We welcome those who had taken up courses at a music school like Yamaha Music School, Cristofori, etc to join us.
Q3: Does TPGC conduct beginner class ?
Our club’s philosophy is to encourage the sharing of knowledge and techniques amongst members. TPGC is not a music school and thus we do not conduct regularly scheduled classes, but holds regular weekly club sessions where members play together and learn from one another. In addition, we organise guitar workshops, master-classes, where various topics are shared.

The repertoires for our guitar orchestra include classical, Latin-American and some pop music. Members are encouraged to form their own groups and try out other music like jazz, bosa nova, pop and contemporary.
Q5: What are the activities which TPGC organise for members ?
Our main activities are our annual Share Concert, Music Camp and Annual Camp.
