RE: mummyjes


Roughly how many music students are recruited each year or as many talents as the judge recognize? Thank you and hope to hear from you soon.

For the writing and interview part, all your daughter needs to be is articulate and coherent. During my audition as a Year 1 student, the writing part was just a english composition we had to write based off a single word prompt. The interview is usually during the audition and the panel will just ask a few questions about your daughter's character (i.e. what is your greatest weakness in your opinion?)

I strongly recommend that your daughter auditions for the instrument/course she is passionate in. She will be doing 6 years of intensive training in this instrument and it is absolutely VITAL that she loves what she is doing, be it voice or piano, because it is very easy to get sick and tired of an art form you do not love but are forced to do it everyday. As for the audition, you may sing any song (there have been auditions where singers sung 'When You Believe'. You get the idea.). Foundational training will indeed start in Year 1.

Every music student will be given chances to perform. We have lunchtime concerts that students can apply to perform. Competitions are optional and up to the music teacher supervising the student (in your case, the piano teacher) to suggest or push for. As for the number of our music cohort per year, there are currently about maximum 30 music students per year out of the 200. In my year where we are the 2nd batch to graduate, there are 20++ students out of 120. We are one of the smaller faculties.

Hope I answered your questions adequately.

Thank you so much for the info, appreciate your sharing. I know my dd have always have passion for piano and music related stuff but her piano teacher has been very demanding & fierce but a good one I suppose. We went to the open house and sat thru the Music Theory workshop and find the lesson very interesting, and she's humming the songs/rhymes when we're walking out. Like every mum, I just want her to enjoy her lessons. Thank you once again.

Hi, i am a year 5 music student graduating from sota in 2014. if you have any questions regarding, i'd be happy to answer

Hi, my dd will be submitting her application as music student as soon as she got her SA1 result these few days. She's quite nervous with the audition, writing and interviews. May I know what is expected from her during the writing and interview part... sorry a little kiasu here.

She will probably audition for music - instrument - piano (as she has a ABRSM Grade 5) but she prefer to sing but didn't have any formal training nor paper qualification for it, can she just sing any songs? Heard that everything starts from the beginning from Year 1, to build strong foundations, rite?

Will every music students be given chances to perform or take part in competitions or only selected ones?
