Corona Virus Disease (COVID-19) Updates

[zac's mum]

Today waiting outside kiddo’s school, parents & caregivers still not standing safe distance away from each other…all kancheong squeezing to be the first to grab their kids out of the school. VP finally stepped in to remind especially the vulnerable grandparents to stand further apart…I find it weird that people need a box or a line to be taped on the floor (or a stern person to remind them) then they will obey.

Swimming & ballet, cannot e learning.

For ballet, let's say u stretch your leg wrongly. Tr got to bend your leg back to the correct way or correct angle, then u learn. Tr got to adjust your posture on the spot, still need that personal touch guidance to guide, tell u specifically which dance step mistake made wrongly

Violin, piano also cannot e learning. You place your violin bow on your shoulder at the wrong angle, Tr got to tell u shouldn't do it this way or that way. No lah, not everything can be learnt e-learning way.

For academic subjects,
some subjects' components can accept taught by e-learning way, but other subjects cannot. For those cannot, go for private tuition

For piano, as long as the student already knows the right posture and how the fingers should bend, e-learning can be done. The higher the level is, the easier to do it in e-learning because usually only need to correct the dynamics and tempo on certain parts to emphasize some expressions.

The sound transmitted online and those directly from piano is different. The articulation and expression will be lost in translation.
For lower level, to go through scales and technical skills, sight reading, OK. But not everything

Maybe need a better microphone? Of course the quality of live and recorded is different but so far we can still hear the articulation and expression of those recordings of piano pieces on cd, spotify, youtube, etc, right? I honestly think it is easier for upper level to learn piano via e-learning than the lower level. Maybe Grade 5 onwards? Just need to tell the student which bar needs to improve what/how then the student should be able to apply the teacher's input. No need to even show the student how to do it.

The problem with students switching to online learning is some families do not hv access to WiFi.


Recently, some M’sians who used to work in SG, was told they can still work fr home. But many bosses realized many M’sians are not able to do so even after eyers provide company configured laptops.
