MEP replaces the Food & Consumer Education subject in Lower Sec. At Upper Sec, for both SEC and IP track, students in the MEP offer Higher Music as a G3 exam subject (at the Singapore-Cambridge Secondary Education Certificate (SEC) examinations).

Beyond MEP lessons, MEP students will be involved in concert attendance, workshops, masterclasses, and MOE-MEP events.

MEP students are expected to contribute to the Aesthetics scene at MGS by joining a Music Performing Arts CCA (Choir, Handbell Ensemble, String Ensemble, Guitar Ensemble). They can also take up a second instrument for example, cello or double bass. Although a second instrument is not compulsory, this can be a performing option for ‘O’ level.

Lower Strings: To encourage more cellists and double bassists in the String Ensemble, there is a subsidy of 12 lessons of 1-hour duration for new cellists and double bassists in Sec 1. This subsidy does not apply to Sec 2 to 4 and students are expected to continue lessons on their own until CCA stand down in Sec 4.
