[quote=\"realwhiz\"]my DD went for her violin audition at NYGH on Wednesday....now its just waiting... everyday she will ask me 'any email from NYGH'?? haha

Hi realwhiz

Just cusious, what your DD needs to do during the violin audition? She play her best piece or the school will give her a piece on the spot to play? What is the criteria for DSA via music?

Thank you

Hi blurDad,

School just called and informed us to prepare 2 pieces. No specific grade or piece etc.

She played infront of 2 teacher and they asked her few questions thereafter.

I think unless one is applying under MEP, else no specific criteria of DSA under Strings Ensemble. My DD passed Grade 5 and taking Grade 7 next year.[/quote]Hi realwhiz

Thank you for sharing.

I remember some schools DSA via Music Domain need to have at least grade 8 and must able to perform 2 classicial pieces for 5 mins without any fault. Also they will give you a musicial piece on the spot and ask the students do perform. I can't remember which school is that. It seems tough to me.

I guess u didn't attend the briefing / introductory for the Einstein club members last yr..

yes i didnt attend estein club briefing, was busy then. You mean to say that they told the parents who were there that estein club members are exempted from dsa camp fees?

Emmm ... I think so or from the DSA invitation email/letter they send the the Einstein club member ... When u first apply, u would still need to pay $50. If the kid pass the first test then they will refund the $50 .. Not too sure Abt the camp fees part ... Shd be free Ba????... I was teasing the teacher in charge tt we don't mind paying for the fees ... Just gives the kids co straight away without attending the test and camp ... She said got to be fair to other students so cannot ....

It is reflected as paid this morning. So there is some latency between payment and update.

I made payment around 9+ this morning but till now still reflected as not paid yet.

Hanging around NJC for 3 hours?!? Go get coffee at Greenwood or Guthrie House lah! Sometimes the parents seem more nervous and anxious than the kids.

The other day met a pair of kiasu parents who were speaking to some other parents they knew. According to them, they have applied for 5-6 DSA schools for their DS :yikes: who is in mainstream as they want to see how to better his chances of getting a CO before PSLE. Moreover, they said by going thru' the process, they will learn better and able to help their other DS in P5 now :shock: :faint:
