      If offered the chance to join either Chinese orchestra or string ensemble, which would u recommend my DS to join? he likes both genres of music and has to learn the double bass or cello from scratch as he only plays the piano.

      Personally, I will recommend the SE. The western music repertoire for string ensemble is voluminous. In addition to orchestral pieces, there are also plenty of chamber music pieces to explore and perform. Your DS can even propose (if it is allowed/encouraged) to play in piano trio or quintet where his piano skills will come in handy 😄

      I understand that you need to engage a tutor to coach your DS in the selected instrument (cello/double bass) and bear the cost.

              Hi I was just wondering…

              1)Other than O lvl, A lvl and ESP notes, would topics taught in the Galileo Prog. help towards preparing for the RA bio and chem selection test.
              2)Another concern is that i have not participated in any sci competitions and I will not be taking up a sci re proj. either. (i am not frm sci club. But i do attend the ESP prog.) Will this adversely affect my portfolio? Will this greatly reduce my chance of getting into the RAs? and is there anything I can do about it now?

                  Doesn't RI have its own shooting range in the school?
