Oh, i c, so that's how they try to close the gap, if not, pointless to make all come together but can't play a proper tune together nor individually! Hopefully a few months later, all can be \"fully engaged\" at all practices. :celebrate:

yup by the time they can all come together and play a fine tune.....those P6 are going to step down liao

[quote=\"24hr-mum\"]wow, like that how to find time for tuition?

Must have tuition?? My boy in p6 only has to go for 1 afternoon of CCA now. But he also goes for the 3 mornings of CCA. Altho' he also has 2 afternoons of supplementary plus saturday mornings supplementary classes. So many classes - no need tuition already lah.

well well you will be surprised....a number of CHS boys are still having external enrichment classes for all subjects. I wonder how they cope. Mine already burnt out liao after the supplementary classes in school [/quote]

The p6s have no problem playing a fine tune, lah. But bc they are retiring soon (very soon), they have to make sure the juniors can do well enough lor. \"BeCheerful\" - your boy in CO too?

Hmmm only 1 afternoon of CCA now? I thought every Monday and Friday got CO practices :?[/quote]The p6s can choose whether to go Mon or Fri. You know they end up playing the very very basic pieces lor (bored). The other \"good\" thing is that they are given the role of teaching.

Haha - actually last time my elder boy did manage with his music lessons, chinese 2x/week, supplementary 2x/week plus math, science, eng enrichment during his p6 year. He was a great multi-tasker. But his younger brother cannot handle that sort of lifestyle, so we leave it as that for him.

Nah- that's my older boy. I don't generally check homework, by the way. Although I have to help my younger p6 boy along while he does his homework these days. Different personality and responsibility level. ;( This one quite lazy.

comparing the two boys (how many years apart?) do u find that the sch standard has increased over the years, phankao?

They are the senior. Some even went for grading exam and competition just like your son. What I mean is that by the time the young ones can play well, the P6 are going to step down....probably no chance to perform together esp under a new team of teachers and conductor.
