I thought of getting a private violin teacher for my DD, but not sure where to look for a good one.

Heard from friends before, there is teacher from Singapore Ochestra teaching violin at Tampines area (maybe Tampines mall?)

jce:

If the child is enjoying and not stressed up by all the enrichment, and financially you're not stressed up by the amount, then I guess it's alright. $700 for so many things is not ex. I know many others who spend a lot more.

Thank jce...sometimes I feel stress instead of my DD. I'm worry whether she can take so many things or not. It seems she enjoy most of things. Maybe I can cut the one she is not so interested in. Like Biligual...

How about the other parents...Do you think it's a normal, or I'm too kiasu and got crazy...

Our kids are same age

Mine $400/mth, attending

Chinese (creative writing)


Next year if time permits, may be continuing with swimming and piano. Both stopped for quite a while, no time. May be adding french. Still trying to work out her schedule. I'm trying to pursuade her to drop Orchestra in school. Twice a week practice is taking up too much time

It's not easy to find a good speech classes...

I just heard there is a grade exam set by UK Trinity Drama and Speech Examinations, just like piano, violine exam.

This enrichment center has related training for P4&P5 students. I called this center, 80% teachers are from UK. The rests are mostly from US, Austrilia, and 2 of their teachers are local.

I don't know whether I should enroll my DD for this center or not...time seems not enough leh...

Hubby told me if I go back to work, kids will need tuition for more subjects...on top of that, need to hire a maid as well...so I'm now maid-cum-tutor.
