      Definitely. I don't have the details yet - will check out with Yamaha in his next class.


      Recommending you this song テルーの唄 from you-tube - - very beautifully sang though I do not understand a word. It was my kid's first JSAC piece - and his grandma's favourite tune.

      Enjoy!

        very nice!


        just found a youtube video on the recent original composition by a SSAC student

        http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l9QBxBz5d3w&feature=related

        This girl was featured on one of the TV programs about kids learning music. The live performance was much better than the video here as you can 'feel' the music.

          Yes, her song is very catchy and memorable. Caught DS playing her song before his class starts and his teacher commented,\"you should be practising on your own compo\" 😜 This song won her 2nd prize in this year's Electone Festival. After watching the performance, DS exclaimed, \"I'll be there (on stage) next year\" !! That's inspirational enough for me as a parent 😄

            All who are interested in Yamaha students' performance...visit Yamaha showroom at Level 6 on Sunday tomorrow if you are in Plaza Sing at 4.30 pm. The graduating class of seniors is performing...the cream of the crop...expect great entertainment with original compostions

              Your son's hearing must be very good!
              He will do well in his exams...enthusiasm is the key!

                Thanks for sharing - missed that 'cos DS down with fever then ;-< Do post if there's another one coming.


                We're going however for the Yuki Wada performance tmr - free ! though you need to get the tickets from Yamaha.

                & thanks for the well wishes ! All JSAC kids have good hearing to start with anyway 😄 likewise for yours I believe. I find it important to develop their hearing when young - - playing/techniques can be picked up subsequently but apparently for hearing, I was told that once you miss the 'golden age' it's hard to train. So I particularly like the group class when they are being exposed to new song each week - - totally amazed at their ability to identify the motifs, instruments types, major/minors etc. Soon they will be so \"well tuned\" that it's like second nature to them whenever they hear any piece of music ! That's my idea of music appreciation alright !

                        Thanks! Yes, you are right about the timing though entire concert ended by 8pm. Is this conducted yearly? Love the kids to be exposed to every performance opportunities.


                        By the way, posted in another thread, but do you know of any software that allow and facilitates music writing/composition directly into the computer? Currently my kid has to write it manually onto the manuscripts and as typically requires revision/changes, I find it tedious and not productive.
