NAFA School of Young Talents - Discussion

[kathyh]

hi thanks for your reply. I understand now.

satyagraha:

Each semester starts & ends closely to the (MOE) school's semester. Meaning, june school holidays = SYT's holidays, dec school holidays = SYT's holidays. So... :imcool: ... when you can. How differently can the counter & teacher respond? :scratchhead:

Of course, do factor in the date of your kiddo's external exam with ABRSM. That is, if you had arranged it to be in early July, then don't go on hols too near that date.

cheers

Do NAFA teachers take private ABRSM diploma students? for violin and if they do, is it conducted at their house?

Can anyone pls advise where I can get a copy of 2011/12 exams piece for grade 1? My son justed started with NAFA and apparently the school wants them to use the old copy. I have tried many places, going around singapore, like music essential, crestar, critophori, yamaha, etc but nowhere carries a copy. just wondering why NAFA can’t help us with book purchase?

Hi Catloh,


I don’t think they would be carrying this syllabus as the new syllabus has just been launched. Perhaps you could try to find out anyone at this forum selling the "secondhand" copy. I am using ABRSM Grade 1 for 2011/2012 but my gal is taking the exam in Sept.

Hi, I have read the earlier posts on this thread few years back that the environment in NAFA is quite tough, teachers are strict and scolds the child even if they can play well. Also the focus is mainly on exam pieces. Has the situation changed now, or is it still the same? What’s the current feedback from parents who have kids in their program?
