DSA 2011

Hi sautille,
Yes, was instructed to prepare 1 fast & 1 slow piece.
Problem is my DD just started learning grade 7 pieces so not comfortable in mastering whole piece especially the slow piece.
Another option is to play grade 5 piece… still undecided… and her audition is on next Tuesday! -

For those attending RGS half day selection test this Sat, is the reporting venue for all Domains the same at
Cyber Learning Centre (CLC), Level 4 Block D, RGS (Secondary)?
Surely it would be a big crowd!
English domain is. Not sure about others. How big is the CLC? I haven't been there before. But I guess there will be another round of selection test, because there had been GAT on tue. -

IMHO, it is risky to audition with pieces that you are not familiar with or not confident to play because the judges' trained ears will be able to detect the hesitation. All the best for your DD's audition. -

Audition in SCGS.
It was quite a last minutes decision to attempt DSA thus was taking it easy till i receive the email notification today!
she has to put in more practise over the weekends and it really depends on her performance next tuesday. -
Anyone shortlisted for the selection camp for SST?

What does her teacher say? Can she perform her grade 5 pieces very very well? If yes, I'd say to do that instead. No point risking grade 7 pieces that she can't play perfectly.Hi sautille,

Please do ask the teacher's opinion. Also, do practise scales and some sightreading?

Thanks for all the well-wishes.
We are in a dilemma cos the requirement was to have Grade 6 practical cert but my DD only have Grade 5 cert and currently preparing for Grade 7 next year.
But I think you are right...better to play a piece that she is good in rather then something she barely learn...
