She is ok to do theory through the 4 years.. i heard it is 80% theory. I heard from the teachers in some schools, they need the kid to tske up a music cca and the reason little applied is not just hard but is the interest, so not many are chosen.[quote=waiyean post_id=1924842 time=1564559426 user_id=53639]I understand your line of thinking, just that it depends on the school's objective with the MEP class. Does the school really want to do the noble things by giving equal chance to all students regardless of the students' access to resources? Or would they want to hand pick their MEP class with the strongest students to sweep all competitions and awards related to music, and to churn out big names in the industry when they leave the school?
I believe most schools will tend to do the latter if they have a choice.
Theory wise, she finished the grade 8 last year.
I guess theory is important when doing advanced studies on her instruments.
Most of the schools don't really provide practical lessons for the instruments, other than SOTA I think.
Yes, there will be assessments done by the schools for the instrument, but predominantly MEP is about theory.[/quote]Actually my DC loves music too! But never take any exams...
. Any parents Have the latest info?
