Don’t worry as our coach and club exco will help you out, especially if you are preparing for showcases and competitions! When our coach isn’t available during training time, the exco conducts a workshop series called “The Basics” that serves as a revision of essential piano technique and music theory! Those who desire more targeted guidance may also join our buddy mentor programme, where you will be mentored by a more experienced fellow member.

There are three upright pianos in the Basement Studio (BS) at LKCSB and one baby grand piano in the Arts & Culture Centre (ACC) at SOE/SCIS2. The BS is our usual facility for training, studio recordings and small recitals, while the ACC is normally used for medium-scale performances and preparing our members for large-scale events like our annual production. When not in use for any of these, members may book the facilities for self-practice as and when they are allocated to our club.  

Nope, we play whatever we want! Aside from classical music, our repertoire thus far includes jazz, pop, movie and video game music! 

The only commitment is performing in at least one showcase per academic year, such as Klaviesta, Vivace, or Arts Camp. Members who are not ready to perform are welcome to contribute as helpers instead ( production crew, MCs, page-turners, stage support) and this fulfils the commitment equally. Much of what we do centres on ensemble and duet work, so a large part of being in IK involves playing with other pianists rather than alone. ExCo will support you throughout the year — choosing repertoire, finding a duet partner, or working through preparation.
