Champion, thanks.. okok. got it.. i also thk the stickers must be some rewards or kinda. k k..


i ask the lady do i need to buy keyboard, she said no need, if intend to progres, but the piano itself.. she said keyboard only will use for first 3 months??/

my other frens whose child with JMC all bought keyboards,. why?

For my case, I bought those \"cheap & durable\" keyboard from kiddy palace for DD1 to \"play & practise\" in the 1st 1.5 year into Yamaha...In fact teacher encouraged to use piano so it only thereafter we bought her a piano and she being practising on it.....

No, I went to Cristofori Warehouse at Bedok Industrial Estate to buy a 2nd hand piece - parts made in Japan....Can't remember the exact price but recommended by the Sales to be used till at least Grade 6

Yamaha uses Electone ELB-01 for JMC/JXC classes. I think brand new is >$3K.
For a start, a keyboard is enough for normal practice. Yamaha sells keyboards with price range of ~200+ to 300+. If your DD shows interest to pursue music later, you may want to consider getting a piano instead. For piano, I think Yamaha U1 (Japan made) is good enough but depends on your budget.

thanks jon00. for you gals… any of u go direct to piano ? i thk keyboard first better ? since we wont know whether our child will have interest for long

[radiantmum]

Keyboard first. As you said, not sure whether interest sustainable and if in Yamaha, your kid may choose electone instead of piano later.

[micollh]
