有同学了解 sydney conservatorium of music 的 rising star program 吗？值得去吗？

人在呢

儿子学钢琴两年多了，前一阵子听人介绍去了 rising star 的 audition，本来只是想试试看，没想到被录取了。现在反倒很纠结，有没有去过或者了解这个课程的同学帮我分析一下，主要有下面几个问题：
1. 上这个的是不是多数以后就要走专业路线？老师要求会不会很高？每天要花多少时间练琴呢？
2. 每周六要坐火车去city上课，大半天时间都用掉了，其他的活动（主要是体育活动）就很难安排了。
3. 学费每年五千还是都点小贵，而且只有32周有课。那不上课的那些假期时间还要单独找老师上课吗？

我知道这个课程的老师都是很专业的，对钢琴水平提高很有好处，但是我们真是没有想过要成专业钢琴家，最大的梦想也就是考个私校奖学金啥的。所以真的很犹豫啊。

没有人能帮忙吗？

1. 我表弟原来就是上这个rising stars, 不是说上了这个就要走专业路线。他是准备读法律或医的。并没有把音乐放在第一位。每天基本不练琴，要上课前练一练。其实最关键是看进去后跟哪个老师学琴。
2. 表弟在那上了一段时间，跟了几个老师。觉得最后跟的那个老师很好，就一直跟她学下去，没有参加这个rising stars了，直接上她家。这样就不用周六上课。

太谢谢啦，现在不能加分，以后有了一定补上。
还有几个问题：
上了之后跟哪个老师是随机分配的吗？还是自己选的？老师是不是都是音乐学院的老师呢？
在这里学老师会帮助考级，参加比赛，甚至准备私校奖学金考试吗？
听说有奖学金，是不是很难拿的？跟老师上小课的费用大概是多少呢？

不好意思问题多多，谢谢谢谢。

老师不能自己选，是随机分配的。至于比赛什么的就不清楚了，我表弟当时没有想考级比赛什么的。就是准备曲目，每个学期都有个concert。奖学金是你考进去的时候，有就会给你，不用另外考。跟老师上小课的费用就看老师了，每个老师都不一样

Fees

In 2014, the fee for the Rising Stars program will be $2,945.00 (incl. GST) per semester (2 semesters per year). This will include:

    16 – 1 hour instrumental lessons,
    16 – 50 minute Music Skills classes,
    rehearsal workshops and concert performances.
这个应该是senior的那一组，好像可以参加每周六下午的表演

In 2014, the fees for the Rising Stars Junior program will be $2,610.00 (incl. GST) per semester (2 semesters per year). This will include:

    16 – 1 hour instrumental lessons,
    16 – 50 minute Music Skills classes,
    Gala concert performance at the end of each semester.
这个是JUNIOR的，16次1小时的课（应该是一对一的吧），还有16次50分钟的小班课（我的理解应该是类似音乐理论之类的课）。最后还有学期末的表演。这样算起来，如果孩子已经是5级以上，现在就要上1小时主课的， 费用不算太高。

We also run a Rising Stars Junior program which identifies budding talent in young people. After developing technically and musically in the Junior program, it is hoped that these students will later progress to the full (Senior) Rising Stars program where they will be ready for regular performance opportunities.

In 2014, the programs will run for 16 weeks per semester, for 2 semesters each year.

The Rising Stars program focuses on three essential elements:

1. Individual instrumental lessons

Rising Stars Senior and Junior students receive individual, expert tuition from a dedicated member of Conservatorium staff in weekly, 60 minute instrumental lessons in the studios at the Conservatorium. Tuition is available on the following instruments.

Strings: Violin, Viola, Cello, Double Bass, Harp
Woodwind: Flute, Oboe, Clarinet, Bassoon, Saxophone
Brass: Trumpet, Trombone, Horn, Tuba
Keyboard: Piano

Students are also permitted to use the Conservatorium’s many practice rooms for their private practice time.

2. Performances

Rising Stars Senior students present weekly Performance Platform concerts during the semester. Students are encouraged to perform in these concerts as often as both the student and their teacher feel they are ready to do so. Students are supported and accompanied by professional associate artists. The concerts, which are free and open to the public, are held on Saturdays at 11am and 4pm in the Conservatorium’s state of the art venues. The concerts provide students with invaluable experience in rehearsal techniques, pre-performance procedure and stage presentation.

Aside from performing, students are part of the ‘behind the scenes’ concert activity, learning about concert procedure, etiquette and stage management. All Rising Stars students are expected to attend the concerts each week not only for inspiration but also to broaden their knowledge of all instrumental repertoire.

Students in the Rising Stars Junior program do not perform in the weekly Performance Platform concerts. At the end of each semester, they have the opportunity to perform in a Gala concert, accompanied by professional associate artists.

Each week the Rising Stars students perform in concerts held in the Sydney Conservatorium’s state of the art facilities at 11am and 4pm. The concerts are open to the public and are free to attend, and young children are particularly welcome. We encourage anyone interested in applying to audition for the program to attend.

For concert dates please visit our What's On.

3. Music skills

All students in the Senior and Junior programs attend a weekly Music Skills class on Saturday mornings. Working together in small groups with the Conservatorium’s highly experienced teachers they study music theory, music history, aural, sight singing and musical analysis. These areas are essential in providing a sound background for all musicians and are vital preparation for advanced musical study and a successful musical future. Advanced students attend the Advanced Seminar classes which are presented by professional musicians and musicologists.
Junior Rising Stars

For students not yet ready for the rigors of regular performance, the Rising Stars Junior Program provides the Individual Instrumental Lessons and the Music Skills Classes. The Junior Rising Stars students present a concert at the end of each semester.
