His four years in the band set the path towards his passion for music training, he gained his experinece through performing with various orchestras.
A French Horn player, Mr. Tan was a member of the Singapore Youth Orchestra between 1974 and 1977. From 1967 to 1977, he played with the Singapore Philharmonic Orchestra. As a young adult, he continued his musical training by joining the Republic of Singapore Air Force Band where he remained for four years.
In 1982, Mr. Tan rejoined Victoria School Military Band, this time as a part-time instructor and saw its transformation into a concert band. His elevation to become its conductor in 1991 was a well-deserved one, for during his fourteen years in the band, he closely shared its glories and tribulations, and has shown many amateur bandsman the way to fine music making.
