[quote=\"limws1\"]Not all ballet students get to go to JA because the schools need to recommend their students. For ballet students whose schools does not offer ballet as a CCA, they won't have a chance to go to JA.


I thought there is only one TA. Why is there a first and second auditions?

Actually, your primary school doesn't need to have a dance CCA to for them to recommend you. You can just tell them that you are auditioning in sota and they will keep note! There is one TA but since there are so many people auditioning, they did a pre-audition for dance students so that it would be easier to choose during the TA / lesser people in TA.

Just curious but how many kids do they select at JA for dance TA/ 2nd audition? My girl doesn't think anyone in her class got selected.[/quote]Uhmm.. If you went to JA, the number of people selected is not fixed. If they see you have potential, they will select you. But in my class, about 3 - 4 people got the shortcut to TA

Does SOTA only select P6 potentials or they also interest in P5? Will they ask P5 to try TA when the students at P6?

If I'm not wrong, they mix P5 and P6 for JA and i have a P5 friend which was also selected to skip the audition next year but she needs to attend the JA again when she is P6 .

How will the student know?? SOTA gives them the letter immediately after JA or via school?

I always thought they would be told on the spot but as mentioned, my dd said no one in her JA class was told anything...which is quite hard to imagine coz none in a class of 20 were good enough? And besides, she knows that some were even CSTD summer school winners...surely they would be good enough to be called. :scratchhead:

SOTA JA invitation is via School recommendation…I am wondering how many Primary schools/NAFA arts school participate in this class. SOTA only conduct 1 to 2 Classes (size 20) each JA period?? Will SOTA consider student with 2 years of JA experiences for TA??

Hi, my DD (P6) is interested in Literary Arts (English) and she wants to take the audition for SOTA. She has a passion of creative writings and loves the literature. She is also one of the top scorers in her cohort (English) and got awards. But as a traditional minded parents, we are bit unsure what to do. As of now, we were thinking she should select her choice after completing secondary schools or later as this is too early. May be we are wrong..not sure... :scratchhead:


Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated.

What is the minimum grade to audition for SOTA for music (piano)?


Anyone can share what it is like there for those taking music?

Thanks!

Hello All,


My girl is in P6 from a neighbourhood school. She has been keen in Visual Arts for some years and would like to join SOTA. However, she is just an average student and I worry she won’t make it although she is confident with her artwork. I will go to the Open House tomorrow to find out more. Does anyone know the min aggregate for PSLE if any to join Visual Arts?

Thank you.

Farah23,hope you found out what you were looking for at the open house yesterday. SOTA requires that the child qualifies for express once they pass the Talent Academy. That said, I guess it would be best if our DC do as well as they can for the PSLE coz IB does sound rigorous.
