I always hope that my children would learn piano or any other musical instrument and that music could keep them company even into adulthood. Have been asking DS since he is 3 to learn piano and the answer is still NO!

:sad:

dorisp,
i always hope for my kids to learn someform of musical instrument too. had asked ds1 since he was 3 too. now at 10yrs old, his answer is still No. he does not have any hobbies, although he likes to doodle; i hope he'll find some lifelong interest in the CCA which he just joined and go on from there. then my husband hope for his sons to learn some form of defense (TKD, wushu). ds1 tried for half a year and gave up, just not his cup of tea.

ds2 on the other hand shows interest in both musical pursuit and martial arts. but i couldn't possibly let him join both in P1 next year as CCA (his sch has both cca offered to P1 - Band and TKD) unless we are willing to commit 3x a week training for both ccas, minimum commitment of 3yrs each. hm....will see what he is interested in ba (but probably going for TKD since he can learn piano at home).

You are very supportive mummy... Well done! I only started my DD1 on swimming. Used to send her for piano then gave up half way. Now I don't trust them to have sustained interest in anything... All 5 minutes fever. I'll wait till she goes into primary school. If she can handle a hobby beyond her school work, then I'll consider.

Wow, swimming…had yet to get my DS to learn swimming. But he likes to go to the pool and beach alot…

Club 2006, Happy Valentine’s Day to all. Wish everyone have a sweet sweet day ahead.

Hi Jedamum, looks like kids have a mind of their own these days and they will boldly say No and most of us respects that. Don't know if it is a good thing or bad. I recall during our days, our parents tell us what to learn and we usually follow and most time dare not stop half way as we are afraid of our parents. :scared:

Happy Valentine's Day to you too, ks parents! :rahrah:

Hi Club 2006, anyone DS / DD pursuing music? Piano, violin, organ??


I am thinking to switch my DS out of Yamaha JMC, his class size of 11 shrink to 6. Also lots of trouble maker in the class. Thinking of switching him to violin, wondering which centre or teacher is good.

My DD plays guitar. A little regret coz it's a little more difficult for young children as certain technique require fingertip strength. Should have start with a more' child friendly ' instrument.

maybe not too late to switch?

I play the guitar. A painful experience. Have to keep playing. If not the finger tips soften then the process of toughening them starts over again
