Cristofori is having sale right now (2nd - 4th Sep) for Brand new and pre-owned acoustic and digital piano.

ABRSM has a long history and is the board that has set the standard. It is the most widely accepted board but unless the child intends to pursue music in future, ie to do a degree/diploma in music (or something related), it doesn’t really matter. Can always switch at a later point too.

Headache2010:

My DD started learning at age 4yrs 3mths (Mar 2010). Teacher/music school recommended a Casio keyboard.... right now, we are looking at upgrading it to an acoustic or digital piano as DD will be going for her exam next year.

I fullly agree with DD teacher's recommendation as I will only invest more when my DD shows great interest with music/piano.

Does anyone have any comment on ANZCA vs ABRSM? I like ANZCA because it's a lot more lively as compared with ABRSM. But I heard ABRSM is a lot more widely accepted but not ANZCA, say for DSA.

Thanks

Personally I would choose a teacher with ABRSM qualification. Asia-pacific qualification may not be recognized in UK or Europe if your child has the potential to further in music. Plus, application for DSA is using ABRSM as a benchmark. Consider carefully.

What is DSA?

[jce]

Direct school admission

[engp9337]

application for DSA need to use ABRSM then?

[jce]

For MEP perhaps? Or if entering via music-related CCA?

[engp9337]

sorry, what is MEP ??


do you mean can use ABRSM as privilege to enter schools having music-related CCA? when is this done? After PSLE results released?
