skyjuice:

My nephew has been accepted into SOTA via DSA. He was told in an email his PSLE has to be a \"high Express T-Score\" to qualify.

Does anyone know what that means? I thought as long as qualify for Express stream (like 200) and tat's sufficient. Could SOTA, offering IB, require a higher standard?

If your nephew has been given a confirmed place. As long as you hit the Express stream COP, you are safe.

Eh...\"high Ex T-score\" is to encourage students to continue to study hard for PSLE.

Jtoh is right about the statistics.

There is no music mep in SOTA. If your current teacher happens to be a faculty teacher in SOTA, you can get back the same teacher. Otherwise, they allocate music teachers according to their instruments randomly. If you desperately wants to go back to your own teacher, you have to pay your own tuition fees besides the school fees.

I personally do not encourage so as School fees + Tuition fees can amount to great $$$. Also, there might be communication problems between school syallbus and private tutors etc...Since the school provides qualified tutors, go for it.

Music faculty is one of the most rigorous art form next to dance but rewarding if music is your passion. Be prepared for long hours ie. up to 6pm everyday. Those who truly love the art form will endure and survive the programme. Those who got in by \"chance\" probably do not. I've seen a few cases and they have already switched to mainstream schools.

The current music students enjoyed their curriculum thoroughly and most have just returned from summer camps in the US. Their progress are tremendous in my view.
