Joyfulhands:
The same class is at Book 4 now!! At least my boy can identify the correct intonation of the notes now under this tutor. He can tell me that the note is flat or shape and then ask his poor Mummy to tune for him when I know nothing about tuning. He is playing scales now since it's one of the areas that will be tested during the exam. It's quite boring actually just to play scales lesson after lesson.
That's high expectation for a 4-5 yr old kid :scared: Looks like you've made the right choice to switch to pte teacher. Does he practice on his own? This is something which we can't get DD to take initiativeScary:
Joyfulhands,
Almost forget to reply you.
My DS used to learn suzuki violin. The teacher was good but only if you have lots of time in practising. She expected the kids to be able to play a piece well within 1-2 weeks (suzuki violin book 2). DS was only 4-5 yrs at that time. Too stressful for me and she actually ticked the parents off in front of the whole class if the kids can't play well. I couldn't afford sitting there with my son for an hr everyday as I was working back then. My poor DS had to wake up every morning at 7am to practise 10-15mins with me. Also, DS's posture was all wrong as she didn't focus in correcting them.
Now he is doing non-suzuki method with a pte tutor at home. Will be going for Grade 1 exam next yr.
My DD is learning under a Suzuki teacher, and she's at book 2 now. While my DH is more gan cheong about her violin lessons, I can take the backseat to relax. After all my reason to him is that I'm not musically trained :evil: On those areas that he's not interested to coach, ie academics, I will emerge and take over.
Do you intend to let your DD go for violin exam? -

The week of 24th-28th Oct. This is only for the Paper 2 not sure about Oral and Paper 1. -
Not reading the post for sometime and miss out the BBQ.
The oral dates should be around wk 4, 3 - 7 Oct,
Sa2 paper 1 & 2 – 24 Oct - 4 Nov (should be similar to SA1, pp1 then continuously follow by pp2 - no break in between)
according to the CCA timetable given to my ds.
My dd enjoy the camp but according to her — the pail of soapy water to wash their utensils is extremely dirty and oily before they can rinse it under tap water. Guess what she used the wet tissue to clean the plate follow by the toilet paper that she brought from home.
