Will each of e students be performing in class in front of everyone or it’s really 1-1 examiner? The examiner will be e class teacher herself or other external parties? I m clueless abt tt n wish to find out more n wat do they test in class. Thanks.

Are you referring to FSS? During my kiddo’s time,


1. Playing - play 2 repertoire (choice of electone or piano)
2. Reading - Identify & read notes (limited to the pc played earlier)
3. Singing
4. Memory singing
5. Listening - Identify chords (only 1 series)
6. Creating - play own accompaniment/LH chords

There is no fail or pass - it is just an evaluation ie survey of skills learnt during the 1st 2 years. Results were grouped simply as good, solid and excellent.

No prior preparation required.

From FSS, Yamaha will also select potential candidates to the Yamaha JSAC auditions.

A JSAC teacher and own teacher was be present in FSS then.

Hi


Has anyone DS or DD currently in JXC course?
DS is in P4 of JMC currently and am still considering whether to put him next level. He is an average student, needed to push for practicing, cried when practicing new song in book 4. Am wondering can he cope in JXC? The investment is heavy cos we need to buy electron for him.
Any advise?

my child JMC teacher said in preparation for the JMC assessment test after bk 4, she suggested to let child play on piano that allows them to control the strength used on the key notes to produce beautiful music with soft/loud etc… if use electone wont have such effect… piano will also train them to have sensitive ears to the sound at this age… im now still using yamaha keyboards… any suggestion which model of yamaha piano to start with that can last as long as they can go ?
