Hi there,

Any parents or kids in the music program who would like to share your experience in SOTA?

Hi there I am not a music student but from what i hear from my friends who are in year one music,the music students have pretty long hours,on fridays they usually have concerts which could stretch up till about 10 pm.They also frequently have lunchtime concerts to watch and they have only about 15 mins to eat then and they have to go for the lunchtime concert for the rest of their lunch,music students are also split up in to two groups,the performing track and the creating track,generally from what i hear is that the performing track mainly just focus on performing but the creating track go deeper into it and compose their own pieces,the creating track are usually deeper thinkers and
Composers rather than just performing,however of course the performimg track will get more oppourtunities to peform compared to the creating track.They also have individual sessions with teachers when the teachers can help them privately,there are practice rooms where music students can go and practice before their art form starts,however they are sometimes also left to practice on their own and could get kicked out of class or be failed for their entire component if they do not take it seriously or do not practice if their teacher is very strict,i do not know much about the music faculty being from theatre but i can assure you that it will be very tiring and taxing taking on the art form in sota but still overall enjoyable as long as u can manage your time well and be disciplined

I got in!!

But my mom has some questions about the school,thank you for answering my questions
1.What are the school rules?

This is a vague Q. What rules do you want to know exactly?

2.how are the teachers there like?

They are just like any other teachers in school. They are nice if you do your work.
Thank you for answering my questions,when i asked about the school rules i meant that is SOTA quite strict?As i heard from some of my friends whom studies there that the new principal is stricter and imposed some new rules
3.Is it true that before the students various art froms start they have a one hour break and they are allowed to leave the school compound and come back?:)

I'm not sure if it applies to all yrs. According to security, school officially ends at 1.15pm most weekdays and they are allowed to sign out to go for lunch.

4:How stressful is life at sota like?

It really depends on how well you manage your time. Pls do not expect to be in wonderland all the time. You'll find it less stressful if you are consistently working hard from the start.

5:I heard some people there are mostly \"Rich\" so im a little worried they might look down on me for being just middle class

Your thoughts are unfounded, just be friendly and be yourself.

Lastly,thank you

Congratulations! Wishing your well in your endeavours. :xedfingers:

I am also going to the junior academy but under theatre i am trying to gather as much information as possible.I heard that the junior academy is though as some students walked out crying saying they were given too much stress my friend says that the teachers there will give you challenges like suddenly just ask you to dance something
