      All these while, I've the impression that as long as one is being accepted during DSA & that the sec school offers IP prog, the child will be in IP regardless of the t-score. Isn't this the case?

      Regardless of t-score? Wah, then get t-score 150 also can, har? 🦆 :scared:

          Which school takes DSA under Piano?
          Hi,

          Not too sure about it. But I thought there isn't???

          So far it's either choir, CO or band. In band, there is no piano.

          But maybe for those top talent there might be a exception?

            Then what were those minimum requirements of Grade 5 practical/theory that you got for? Which CCA were those requirements for?

            And yes, I've not ever heard of DSa through piano.

              I think for RI…even though you have gotten a CO, the T-Score must be above 200.

                It applies to all schools. Not only RI.

                    It is actually for DSA via band. They requested for grade 5 practical and theory for a western musical instrument. So I think piano qualify in this case. I was just going through a couple of selected schools and it appears that only this school ask for this. In any case, it's good to understand from them that it's a nice to have if you have the relevant exposure.

                    Besides, piano, it's actually possible for one to get grading in their band instrument. But that means private tuition. Issue is this is a niche market and tutor fees can be expensive. Fortunately my kids are attending this MOE music talent thingy so they get their own instrument tutor.

                    But in this case, besides having grade 5 theory and practical, the criteria is to be in a school band and have participated in those competition, etc...

                        Although RGS requires Grade 7 onwards and score Distinction but guess what? During audition, all the girls have Diploma in Piano.


                        For SOTA, they are not looking what grade and what score. On the audition, they give music score and play on the spot.
