[quote=\"raindropsonroses\"]Hello there, I'm enquiring. My daughter got accepted into GUZHENG AND CHINESE ORCHESTRA in DHS. She has problems deciding which to pick. Firstly, she has quite a lot of commitments with third language and tuitions (she's a little of a slow learner). Her original choice was CO followed by GZ but the teacher in charge told her that because it's hard to get into Guzheng and since she has, the teacher would like to give her a chance to change her choice. She has totally no music background and is not sure because she is worried that if she joins CO, she will not be given a CCA of her choice. Since she doesn't have Guzheng experience, do you know if she will have a chance to represent school team sometime and what do you think about the CCA management?

Hi, would like to share a bit on this. My girl has no music background as well and after the cca interview, she got into Guzheng cca as well. It's a small group and they only accept 9 students from year one last year. Including herself, there are 3 of them who are totally new to Guzheng. Every students have to attend Guzheng lesson in external music school organized by the school (for CO as well). They also need to take the Guzheng assessment (考级）every year. Since it's a small group, everyone has a chance to participate in any events. Think it's a great opportunity.

Hi sg.angel,
May I check with you, if we are already learning guzheng from another private teacher other than the external music school organised by the school (是上音吗？), do we still need to attend this music school's guzheng lesson?[/quote]Sorry, I'm not so sure. You have to check with the school.

My DD1 went Kota Tinggi too. Raining these few days, hope they still get to enjoy the camp safely. Missing her already, but got to wait till tomorrow to see her.

Why is Monday a holiday for the school?

Heard my DD says it's because of good A level result so the Sch declare one day holidays for them.
