Hi Mummies,
I attended the trial class at MYC Sembawang with Teacher Fang. I found the class very interesting and engaging and offers opportunities to bond with our kids. However, yes, the course fees is expensive and it takes quite long, min 4.5 yrs to complete before our children can take ABRSM grade 2 practical and theory grade 3 exam and parents needs the stamina to sit in for every lesson for these years, but ultimately, parents can register for the exams too! I am not musically trained so I cannot tell the difference for normal music schools or MYC, so I am also torn between MYC and others like Cristofori or Yamaha, I find Yamaha too many with 10 per group and wonder if my 4 yr old boy can sit still behind an electrone and have lesson for 1 hour each week. I am not sure with Cristofori as there is no trial, but the teacher really matters as if the teacher kills the interests of our children in music with hurting words or actions, then it may destroy the genius in our child. So I think it is better to have a course where we can accompany so we can observe?
Anyone can give more advice? I am thinking of MYC Sembawang as it is the nearest, but there are some bad comments about 1 teacher there? May I know the teacher's name? My child's teacher will most probably be Teacher Fang, any comments about her?
Anyone knows about this Semipi Music school and any comments about this school? Seems quite established from its website....
