graded exam

The fee on the website is the listed fee. For volume committment by school, there may be discount. Need to check with teachers in charge.

For non DSA students who has no music background, fees start at about $150 per month. For students who will be starting at higher grade, higher fees apply.

Meaning if we join guzheng cca in dhs, it is a MUST to go Shangyin for lessons still even if our current private teacher is a very well known / established trainer? :roll:

Not sure about guzheng. You can check with the teachers in charge.
For CO, the instructor need to know the strength and weakness of all students so as to deploy them effectively in performanance and competition.
From what I see, Shangyin's teachers are very well known and established in the CO circle.

Yes, for CO, you will be strongly encouraged to go Shangyin for lessons.... though not sure what happens if you don't (haven't heard of any case so far). The rationale is to ensure uniformity and consistency since most shangyin instructors are also DHS CO instructors. Nearing concerts and competitions, the instructors will also focus on CO pieces besides the graded exam pieces.

any student play Liu Qin here, in Chinese Orchestra ?

http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liuqin

Which one easier to play : Liu Qin or pipa or Guzheng ?

personally i feel that pipa is really hard...liuqin, prolly require smaller hands

Agree! Think pipa is difficult esp for beginners. Liuqin should be easier

They say that boys often play Erhu, girls play Guzheng, inside Chinese Orchestra.

If girls want to learn Erhu : easy or difficult ?

I dont think there is a difference in gender for Erhu. One of the Erhu instructors, 王桂英老师 ,is a lady.

Edit to add...

Based on the chinese version stated in DHS website n from my gal's pic of the slide presentation...

264 (65%) 考生考到4个A

Congrats to all the 2014 Dunmanians.


DHS’s grades are improving each year, especially for Economics which someone previously (if I remember correctly) mentioned that DHS is not good in Economics.

So those who are keen to come to DHS, pls don’t believe in hearsay but statistics.
