Hi, these few days, when I gently use my fingers to stroke my right side of my body, there is a sunburn pain. I went to see a doc who suspect I may have shingles but there are no rashes. He ask me to monitor these few days. I went to take chest x ray as instructed but everything is normal. Can you be having shingles without rashes ? Or should I see a specialist instead of a GP?

Any privste a level students here ?

Hi, I was an ex-Edvox student since their early years. I still remember I first stepped into Edvox Music School at Hougang and I was talking to a plump gentleman sharing with him what I wanted for my violin lessons. The plump gentleman turned out to be the Principal of Edvox, Mr Foo. Very nice guy. And I started attended lessons taught by him. Due to my lazy nature and procrastination habit (very bad I know), I stopped going to lessons. Then Edvox started opening a branch at Marine Parade and since I am living at Marine Parade, I signed up for my violin lessons again, under Ms Rosemary. A very nice, patient, lady. I spent like 4, 5 years under her before I stopped my lessons due to personal reason. Years passed, Edvox opened a few other branches at various places. Recently, I am thinking of continuing my violin lessons at Edvox but was disappointed to learn that their course fees are highly expensive. I still remember I paid only $250 for my Grade 7 violin practical course fee a few years back and now is $321 per month. And also need to pay a refundable deposit of $150, a 2 months upfront and a registration fee of about $40. A total start up fee is about $880. Omg ! I wish to return to Edvox as I believe they are professional since their teachers are degree holders. But the course fee really turn me away.

Do you really need to take the ABRSM exams ? What is the purpose of spending the extra money on exam registration ? I have heard of ppl with Grade 8 ABRSM Exam Cert who has never touched the piano anymore after the exam. So what is the deal here ? :?

Hi, are schools like Cristofori, Ossia have the cheapest piano lesson course fee ? I asked Cristofori, is about $107 per month for even beginners. Otherwise, for other schools, the rates are like > $120. Is it worth it ? I am trying to save money. :rotflmao:
