        My niece is almost old enough for lesson. Since we never cook, how much does it cost to build one in the kitchen?

            Haha, Dr Evelyn Lim, our SSO organist, told me last time that believe or not there are children who are actually quite enthusiastic about playing organ. But of course the barrier for entry is a lot higher than piano since the cheapest electric organ (NOT electone) i think is around 30K+ the last time I checked in Parklane. But anyway, actually those places that have pipe organ will gladly let you in to practice them since those organs need to be played often if not they will go out of tune.

            A joke about organ:

            Why did JS Bach have so many children?

            Because his organ has no stops.

              If you have to ask, you can't afford it. 🆒

                Reminds me of the first few years of me learning piano. My lessons were free by a kind teacher. Then everyday, I would go to different neighbour's house to ask if I could use their piano to practise. 😜 Until mom bought me a piano for S$400 that i used for many years even until gr 8. I only bought a \"new\" (2nd lah) piano when I got married and was already working.

                  I have observed a negative correlation between the quality of my students' piano and progress. Those who have the most 'decent' pianos slack the most. Scarcity seems to bring out the best of most human.

                      Third or fourth hand in 1975, why not?

                        im also interested in this thread. my DD will be turning 6 and I think she is old enough to study music. she wants to learn violin but i want her to study piano first. maybe because i think learning piano is easier? i really dont know too. hahaha.

                        im now currently googling for schools where they offer affordable lessons. might try out first for a few months.
