      Yup. But I especially like the clip where he was practising in a critter suit . He looks so cute in it. πŸ˜„ Should have tried that on my kids when they were young. Never mind, I shall let my daughter don her princess' dresses, haha.

          [quote=\"Imami\"]Metz :snuggles: no offense taken, no need to apologize. I have been reading your posts since the \"chamonix\" days. It was a tongue in cheek response. Regarding your earlier comments, i need some time to digest.


          Same here, I have been reading yours and Phankao's as well since ages ago. Her son just performed recently on a grand piano and a violin solo. He's done well, phankao! πŸ˜„

          LOL . Thanks! You saw the videos?[/quote]Where's the link?

                  Come Phankao, share share - u must have watched your kids perform countless of times. Is each performance feels as intense as the first one?

                  The other day after knowing our little bold plan, my hubby was commenting,\" u sure u want xx to perform solo??? U would cry leh..... Wait take graduation photo not nice la...\"

                    Bring keyboard cheaper.

                    My boy has performed at kindy concert. Also at some halls. I've seen his fellow kindy friends performed \" piano\" on keyboard. Previous years, they had my boy and another kindy friend just accompany the singing of the kids, so quite casual. Tis year, he did a solo. I accompanied him on keyboard for his violin. Actually I asked his kindy music tr to, but his principal said for me to accompany bc she said - \"shows the parental support\". Whatever lah . He's performed at chess event before using accompaniment CD track. Not ideal, but had to be done in that situation. I had no keyboard. And to rent one was like S$200 according to the organiser.
                    /
                    Oh. If I had known that the humble keyboard could be helpful in such a way, I would have bought a better one! Haiz..... :stupid:

                    Wow... Renting one needs $200? That's almost what I had paid for the keyboard!

                      As what Phankao has shared, the 2 suggestions are what most people would recommend in the absence of a piano. Let your little one know that once in primary school, he will have a higher chance of performing in front of the entire school. Besides, there are many other performing chances awaiting him. (Phankao has great recommendations.) Meanwhile, take the K2 year-end event as a training ground.

                      As to whether to let him take 2 instruments, let nature take its course. Remember I mentioned about accelerating my son on piano? My intention was to find out if he has any \"talents\" in piano, and if he had none, I could just stop the lessons and let him concentrate on violin. As it turned out, the one month of acceleration gave us a good indication of his interests and ability. Till now, he wouldn't even consider giving up either instrument. So, do keep an open mind.
                      There are more chances of performing in primary school- is it? How is this so?

                      Yup, I will keep an open mind and an open wallet (to fund his music lessons). πŸ˜† his opinion is valued and will be taken into consideration. So long as he is keen...
