The  MEP  provides  students  with  the  opportunity  to  engage  in  the  world  of  music  as  lifelong  participants.  The  school  holds  an  annual  concert  ‘ACSpressivo’  where  MEP  students  from  both  the  ‘O’  Level  Music  and  International  Baccalaureate  programme  put  up  solo  and  ensemble  performances.
