Hi, seems like no one has heard about Karlchonderg from Chiu Piano. According to my coll, she bought it cos the Yamaha teacher at Thomson Plaza (which is just opp Chiu Piano) recommended it. The Yamaha teachers said her peers also recommended this brand.


Wonder if this is true. Any parents with kids taking lessons at Yamaha Thomson Plaza, could u verify? Thanks!

Hi is the yamaha Clavinova Series of piano, eg CLP 430 or 470 an exam grade model? Which grade can it be used until? It is much cheaper than U1. Wonder why no one has ever talked about this model. Thanks!

Hi, has anyone heard of this Korean brand called Karlchonderg? Also, where is brand new Hailun piano available? Thanks!

Hi 2ppaamm

Thanks for the link. It gives sound advice. But I can’t be like her cos I really have ZERO music knowledge. At least she had learnt to play different instruments (maybe not piano but others) in school.

Hi parents

I have zero music background. My 6 yr old boy is learning piano. I find it hard to supervise him because I don’t even know which piece he played, and whether he played correctly or wrongly. I can only encourage him to practise. What can I do (other than sending him for more lessons) to help him progress? Thanks!

Hi Lisa

Do u need any referral to go to AWWA? Or u can happily walk in and ask for therapy? How long is each session, and is it individual or group? Thanks!

Hi Deminc

Sorry to have gotten your "name" wrong.:p
Do you know whether igard or orthovision offer visual therapy via physical activity or game, ie non computer-based? I share your view that it’s better to develop vision in the real 3d world than 2d world. Actually I wish to try simple exercises or games with my boy at home, to improve his visual and motor skills (btw he has sensory integration problems). But he knows these are his weakness, so he always refuses to do them no matter how I bribe or threaten. Plus I’m working full time so I have little time to spend with him. How did you get your kid to do visual exercise or game? I’m sure there was resistance right? Thanks.

Hi bluebell

Like Lisa, I am parent of mild special needs child who is entering mainstream Pr 1 next year. He has visual processing difficulties. Other than occupational therapy, I have not done anything else for him. Could you share what other things that may help? Thanks!
PS: anyone has experience with igard which offers visual therapy? Could you share your views?
