Hi,
I'm new to this forum
My 4.5 yr old daughter has been having individual piano lessons, for past 9 months, so far progress is ok, finished Lina Ng Book 1, just started on book2.
now I am also considering sending her to YJMC,as it is supposed to train hearing,solfege & pitch? think that helps in aural tests in future?
& also, in the 3rd & 4th year, improvisation & composition will be covered..think that is helpful for her Grade 5 theory which has a section whereby you need to do simple composition right?
However, I look through the YJMC book 1 & 2, think it's VERY simple for her,& I think her current standard is ard book3,so I am afraid that it may be boring for her to go through book 1 & 2,& may be a waste of time?
but the Yamaha teacher said that note reading is only a very small section in their weekly class, is it true?
Is it true that solfege, pitch & hearing training is very hard to be trained in individual class? what about improvisation & composition?for people whoe went through the 4 year course, are the students really better in hearing?
thinking of changing my daughter's individual lesson teacher also..as she just recently have the 1st teacher changed..
Anyone has recommendation for a good motivating teacher,patient & good with young kids, ard [b]CCK [/b]area?
I am ok to go teacher's place or at my place..
bt panjang/hillview/bt batok/bukit timah/clementi/woodlands/jurong/thomson area are also ok for me
Thanks in advance!!

RE: Comparing Pre-school English Reading and Phonics Enrichment
Hi! I am VERY new to this forum..Decided to pull my girl who is now 4.5yr old,out of Jan & Elly,coz they going to increase fees,even for existing students by $70! which I feel is not acceptable to do this for existing students,coz we parents have weighed the pro+cons of each school,including fees,before making our choice. Thus very upset with Jan & Elly..& anyway,found that the course is rather slow in progress..
So I look through this forum+decided to let my daughter try icreative,had a long chat with its founder,but unfortunately,the last vancany at CLEMENTI WEST,for weekday night was just taken up,JUST before I called in!! omg!!
She said she is trying to form a WEDNESDAY class at either 3pm or 5.30pm..need total 8 students,so with me in, NEED another 7 students!!
So parents who have kids at K1,THIS IS YOUR LAST CHANCE to register for ICreative,coz by end of May,if not enough pple sign up,
THEY WILL NOT OPEN NEW CLASS FOR 2005/K1 KIDS!! coz they have a fixed amount of syllabus to complete before the kids go Pri 1,within the next 1.5 years..so if they start class later,won't be able to finish syllabus!!
Fyi,fees are $295,for every 8 lessons(1.5hr per lesson)
So if you have K1 kids, born in year 2005,& able to take
WEDNESDAY 3pm or 5.30pm,
PLEASE quickly go to their wesite to send a message, or call at 63007945! Don't Wait!! coz only 2 weeks to end of MAY!!
