Hi sleepy


How long yr dd been learning cello?stop for two years will it be a bit too long??string instrument need a lof of practice this is what I think!!!my ds only in grade 1 after one year.yr dd playing full size cello?

Existing one is a 3/4 size.
She has grown taller so we would probably change hers to a full size when it's time to resume lesson.

She learned 1 year in school as CCA in p2 which is practically a waste of time, not much technique being taught. The good thing is it established her interest. At her request, we hire a private teacher for her. So another 20 months (with many breaks in between) with private teachers when she was in p3 & p4.

Her progress is rather fast with one to one coaching (probably because she's older). I believe it shouldn't be a problem for her to pick up again in future, provided she can spare the time to practise daily.

Problem is there is not much spare time. Higher primary kids have lots of homework and need stay back in school often. I foresaw her workload increasing further in p5 so I persuaded her to put her music on hold last year. Have to prioritise for her if it means she can sleep earlier. She has other interests so I feel that it's alright to put music on hold.


It's good that your ds starts so early before school workload gets overwhelming.

Grade 7 is scales only. I think exam pieces still at grade 5 or 6
Her teacher is not very demanding, so allow to progress faster

Yes, attempted grade 5 this year. Passed with merit. Her cello teacher only touch on practical so need to engage separate teacher for theory.

By the way, there's no need for your ds to sit for grade 3 exam.

Both my kids go direct to grade 5 exam. Save some exam fees

according to his cello teacher,will take grade 5 n grade 8 only.hopefully by next year can take grade 5.
