Instrumental Music Training Scheme intermediate and advanced year-one courses start recruitment
******************************************************************************************
The IMTS provides training in a wide variety of string, wind and Chinese musical instruments including violin, viola, cello, double bass, clarinet, oboe, bassoon, trumpet, French horn, trombone, percussion, pipa, sheng, suona and yangqin. Courses on musicianship and music theory are also included.
One-hour group lessons, conducted in Cantonese, are held once a week at the Music Office's five music centres in Wan Chai, Kwun Tong, Mong Kok, Sha Tin and Tsuen Wan. Annual tuition fees of $3,377 for intermediate level and $4,312 for advanced level are payable in four instalments.
Online applications are available at www.lcsd.gov.hk/musicoffice. Course pamphlets and application forms are now available at all Music Office music centres. Applicants must have attained the required music qualifications. Qualified applicants will receive the details of the recorded video audition by June 12, and the submission deadline for the audition video will be June 30. Applicants will be notified of the results in early August and the training will commence in early September.
In view of the class suspension made necessary by the COVID-19 epidemic, the current instrumental training scheme will be extended to July next year to ensure the learning progress of trainees. Thus, this recruitment for intermediate year-one and advanced year-one trainees serves primarily to fill existing vacancies.
