  IS NAFA or LASALLE Dipolma Course Worth it?
  
  For people who have study in the performing art, espcially MUSIC, since you are studying there or studied there, i'm interested in your Opinion and Advice on this, it's one of the option i'm considering. Do you think the time and money spent there is worth it or would it be better to take lessons at schools like Yamaha, Hark all those non MOE school or self study ?
  
  Bottom line, do you think based on your experience, that it pays to enroll into the Full Time Course or you'll learn more by taking lessons weekly from a yamaha or hark instead and self train/study.
  
  Thanks for reading and i hope you can relate your experience and thoughts about your time in NAFA or Lasalle.

  u need to have a certain grade to get into nafa music. not just newbies etc.
  if i m not wrong.. u need to have piano grade 8 etc..
  
  so bottomline, its not easy to enter music in nafa.
  
  so if u r a newbie. i think yamaha suits u more. get ur foundation n certs from there befor u enrol into music, be it at nafa or lasalle.
  
  you need to perform too. so get more work done n get ready

  What about fashion related industry? I am interested in that industry, but there does not seem to be any jobs out there in the newspaper. Moreover the fashion studies in NAFA is full time, and dunno whether it is useful. Can anyone advise.

  A number of students have gone on to create their own line of fashion accesories or clothings. same old sentence, in the arts industry, u must have the creativity and drive to succeed.

  Hmm.. Actually I was kinda interested in that too...?
  
  But seems like 'piracy' is so quite common in clothing designs nowadays.. and often people just go for the cheaper stuffs...?
