It’s still early days for dd1 to decide on a sec school but I’m exploring DSA via String Ensemble. I read that TKGS accept DSA via Music so would like to find out more it.


If a student is successful in DSA application via String Ensemble, may I know how many days per wk does the student need to stay back for practise? If there are competitions, will the student miss academic lessons because of practise?

Thank you.

Hi, from what I know, String Ensemble will be under Performing Arts CCAs.
This CCA will hv 2-3 times practises each wk.
If yr dd DSA into TKGS, she will likely be put into DSA/ Sports class. Such class will hv different catered timetable esp during competitions. Make-up lessons planned for the missed class lessons. TKGS emphasises on academics, not too worry.
Sch will look at yr dd Pri 5-6 exams results other than her niche in String Ensemble.

Thanks for the info.

I am actually now. I want to position my P5 for DSA via band in TKGS next year.... I know they are looking at overall 70% passes in year end P5 and P6 mid year. But sometimes their school exam papers is set so high that passing rate is low.... with SA2 now.... I kept telling her that she must sure she pass the hurdle...... Never felt so stressed.
