Dearest Ashley,
Last night's Lion King Musical truly blew us away! The performance was world-class! The actors, actresses, dancers, musicians and the lighting crew were awesome. You were singing and reciting the lines with Simba in the waterhold part. I could sense your excitement as you sang along with Simba throughout the 2-hour Musical.
Though you did not share with me, I could sense your disappointment that you were not selected to play the Simba role. Every experience is a good experience and each one brings you one step closer to your dream. The secret to Success is keep trying and improving.
The WWKK Chinese Musical is a wonderful experience for you, isn't it? You've learned so much throughout the 4 months of intensive rehearsal. Am sure this experience will stay with you forever.
You're very fortunate. Many kids at 10 years old still do not know what they want to be when they grow up. Same for Mummy. In fact, I have no clue what I want to be even in the University, let alone becoming a Head Hunter and an enrichment centre co-founder.
You're very exposed too. At a young age, you performed in several professional events and musical such as the 2 voices, 10 fingers and The Adventures of Wei Wei Kang Kang, etc.
Luck is when preparation meets opportunity. When you're well-prepared and well-trained, you will be lucky in your next audition. If you wish to pursue Music Elective Programme, you have to meet the following criteria:
Music Elective Programme (MEP)
The Music Elective Programme MEP is designed to enable pupils with both academic and musical abilities to undertake a challenging Music programme. It aims to develop pupils’ conceptual and analytical faculties as well as creativity. This is achieved through the practical and theoretical study of Music. Immersed in a musically enriched environment, pupils are developed in the skills and knowledge of performing, composing and appraising music from a range of different cultures.
The MEP is a four-year course that prepares pupils for the GCE ’O’ Level Higher Music Examination. Pupils selected for the programme will take Music (MEP) in place of Design and Technology and Home Economics at the lower secondary level. In the mainstream schools, MEP pupils are expected to complete the 4-year course and offer Higher Music as a subject for examination at ’O’ level. MEP pupils in the Integrated Programme (IP) schools offer H2 and H3 Music as examination subjects at ‘A’ level or the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme Music at Higher Level. They may opt to sit for the ‘O’ level Higher Music examination.
MEP is offered only at the following schools:
Anglo-Chinese School (Independent)
Catholic High School
Dunman High School
Raffles Institution
Pupils interested in the MEP are advised to select schools offering the programme among the six choices of school. They are encouraged to select an MEP school as their first choice.
To qualify for the MEP, the pupil must first meet the entry requirement of the Express course in the selected school. Upon admission to the school, the pupil must apply for the programme at the school. The pupil will also need to have attained at least:
■EITHER A pass in Grade Three Practical and Theory or Practical Musicianship examinations of the Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music (ABRSM) or the equivalent standard from other examination boards.(Application must be accompanied by certified copies of music certificates or mark forms.)
■OR in the absence of the qualifications stated above, a pass in both the written selection test and practical audition on an instrument (e.g. piano, rebab, erhu, sitar) conducted by the selecting school.
Higher Music in the GCE ‘O’ Level Examination is equivalent to a Humanities subject. Pupils who offer Higher Music will be allowed to use the Music grade as a Humanities subject grade for admission to a JC/MI.

Ashley, Mum & Dad are very happy to support your dream. We'll be even happier if you put in the necessary effort to realise your dream. Good Luck!
Yours,
Mum Dearest
