Hi Lock, didn't know RL offer violin class... is this for P1 as well? Any additional cost?

Lock:

Next yr will try to brainwash boy boy to take up violin (though he wants to continue with robotics). Will see how the negotiation and bargaining go.

Calligraphy is partly subsidised by sch and the rest paid thru edusave. Think need to pay cos they get outside trainers.

I am like PR Mummy, Chinese standard half bucket. Dun want my kids to learn wrong things from me, especially the pronunciation (now my kids r forever correcting my Z, zh, s sh, n, ng...u know wat i mean). I find if i try to speak CL to them will surely use EL to replace CL vocab that i dun know (and I dun know a lot.. )

So, better leave the job to professional. The Beijing tutor used to be a teacher when in China, so her diction and pronunciation is perfect and she doesn't speak with a heavy accent. Her speech is very clear, like news reporters. Ha. Now my kids speak with very clear diction as well (when they want to speak, that is and with their limited vocab...). I mean they dun sound like Singapore Chinese and are often mistaken as from China cos their 'creative' daddy also choose a single word Chinese name for them.

Once my dd told me that her oral examiner asked if she is from China. I was thinking: Die lah, if examiner thinks she is from China and still cant speak with bombastic vocab sure minus many many marks..haha...

Ya. Violin is one of d enrichment classes being offered to P1& P2. Must pay cos got external trainers to teach d kids. N cannot pay through edusave. Must come out frm own pockets. But d cost is cheaper than pte lessons. I thought exposure at minimal cost. They provide d violin too.

Thanks Lock... good that they provide the violin too...do u happen to know the per month cost? But why just P1 & P2? So if take up violin, got to give up at P2?

Erm..I am not sure about continuity cos my ds only P1 this yr. But i know each enrichment course is only abt 10-12 lessons. After the lessons, the enrichment will stop. I forgot the pricing. I suppose if in P2 want to continue shd be able to. The enrichment courses are more like an exposure to the kids. Maybe help them to decide on their interests and subsequently a more permanent CCA when in P3/P4.
