Oh My Gosh:

[quote=\"ksks\"]Does anyone have children in DHS Chinese Orchestra? Can share the no. of times of training per week in Year 1 and then subsequent years?

A mummy told me before (her DD now graduated) that Kids in CO need to sign up for compulsory external training with a DHS's approved music school. You may like to call the school to find out more.

It's Shangyin Music School (844 Sims Ave, Singapore 400844), and the DHSCO music instructors are all instructors from there if I'm not wrong.

Besides the music school training, there's sectional practices and orchestral practices as well. Usually once you're involved in the JH orchestra, the main practice timings are Monday (sectionals) and Fridays (orchestral). Nearer to the annual concert trainings will be more hectic, especially if you're involved in more concert pieces.[/quote]If a kid is already taking private lesson on his/ her own, do they still need this external music school training?

Does anyone know if DSA via Maths, Science or languages, does the child need to be committed to any CCA or activities/competitions? How about DSA via UG? Must join the UG?

Must join UG for sure.
Not sure if 4 years or 6 years though. senior high got NO UG right?

Only have to commit for 4 years. In Y5 and Y6 there are also students in UG.

This is very informative. DSA thru UG only requires one to ‘serve the bond’ for 4 years. That’s a fairly good deal compared to other academic and sports domains. Hmmm…

Thanks.

If I did not recall wrongly, it is during class curriculum. As the whole class will be under the Bicultural Studies Programme, hence their curriculum will be specialized. Best to call DHS and confirm though.

can anyone share experience of DSA (STEM Domain) through DHS? For example, are there any tests before interview? Thanks.
