School Of The Arts, Singapore

[Mrs Cheng]

jajnj - no, I don’t know anyone who got in thru Chinese orchestra. You can check with the school.


Just to add on, this yr, the school reduces the sch hours, so my son comes back an hour earlier per day. Some days, he has homework but some days none. From that perspective, it’s manageable. Probably will be more stressed from Yr 3 onwards.

My son is in SOTA VA yr 2. Like many parents, we were apprehensive about him going into SOTA as we were not sure if he can cope with IB prog (his psle results were not good), if he will enjoy the school life, etc. In fact, we were extremely surprised when he received the confirmed offer. In the end, we decided that he should enter SOTA since they must have seen the potential in him during the audition in spite of his poor academic results.


Having said the above, i guess SOTA is not for everyone, putting aside the art form. For my P6 girl, she will prob do better in a sec school with more structured curriculum.

Thanks for sharing. Do you know of anyone who got in thru chinese orchestra?

I remembered one of the SOTA admin person told me (1-2 months ago) that there were students who got in through Chinese Orchestra. Can't remember the instrument, may be Suo Na or Yang Qin? You can call them and ask them. The person I spoke with was very friendly (can't remember her name either). :oops:

Wondering if anyone can advise. For music applicants, they are required to submit 2 contrasting pieces and within 10 mins.


Does anyone know if recording of 2 mins + per piece is good enough?

I have close friends in music. Let me ask them and I will get back to you as I don't think they have accounts or check this forum. It won't take long. I will try to get the answer as soon as I can .

What’s the standard of CL in SOTA? As in does it follow the usual sec school syllabus or is there a different IB standard? Don’t think I have heard much on this before.
