zephyrfei:
My gal is under Teacher Janice at SBW branch and she loved her teacher. Not sure about the other teachers though. Will try to go home and see if I can find the school fees.I saw the price is 420 for 3 month in some other forum, but that was 2009 price. How is MYC different from other much appreciation class? it's like twice the price of Yamaha or Cristofori.
I wonder if there is anyone who's going to MYC Sembawang branch. How do you feel about the program and the teaches there? I saw some negative reviews. -

Serendipity:
What has she learnt when she completed Sunrise programme? How old is she now? When can the child take the grade 1 exam? Thinking if to switch child to MYC.Hahah... no lah, what i have is based on the limited info i gathered. You might be able to find out more.
She started with the Sunrise programme at 3. -
Hi baobei,
In Sunrise, it can be considered more as music appreciation. Kids are exposed to pitch, beat and rhythm etc through singing and games, and are introduced to different percussion instruments like the triangle, drum. It’s really more of play and fun and exposure to music.
Only in Sunshine lessons do the children do more serious learning and play the piano / keyboard. They move through various stages of the programme, and if they do complete the programme to the last level (Moonbeams III), I found out they are then prepared for the ABRSM Grade 2 practical exams. It can be a long process (a few years) though, depending on the age your kid starts. If they start at a younger age, they’ll take longer cos lessons are paced at a slower pace. -
Oh, my DD’s 4 yo now.

Hi baobei,
I reckon my girl will be abt 7 / 8 yo by the time she finishes Moonbeams III (if we stick to it!).
By the end of Sunshine I, they’re just beginning to play songs with two hands, but at alternate times (not together yet).
Maybe you could call up the centres and ask which class your child shld join. They shld be better able to advise you, esp since your child seems to have some music background already? -
Hihi, is the program more of music appreciation or playing of the instruments for young children?
