As far as I know, the students are free to choose the instruments, except piano. Yet, you can ask the music teacher during the orientation day. I recalled that during the orientation day for my daughter (in 2010), the teachers explained in details the College's requirements in different subjects and ECAs.
My son will study S1 in coming September. I have no idea of the subjects in S1. Any recommendation of exercises to assist him to prepare for the coming semester?
Can he choose guitar as the music instrument?
My daughter was a boarder when she was S1 and S2 (until late May). We live in Mei Foo. The travelling time is around an hour (or more in the pm due to traffic jam).
