After 4 lessons @ Yamaha

Today is En en's 4th music lesson at Yamaha. She learns to find the middle doh, re and me on the keyboard. For the past few lessons, her music teacher, Mrs Yeow, gets them to sing 'Mary Had A Little Lamb' in solfege. After today's lesson, we came to Grandpa's house (am still here now). She was very eager to complete the homework given.

After that, she opened the piano here and started playing that song. Last week, I played for her to 'copy'. This week, she managed to find the notes herself ! Mummy had a pleasant surprise!

Music Lessons at Yamaha

We went to our 2nd music lesson today at Yamaha. I am glad I chose Yamaha. I like the way they focus on the children's listening skills and slowly introducing the notes. The kids enjoyed watching the Yamaha DVD, I didn't even realise Reyanne has learnt to sing verse 1 of the song taught in class from the DVD. I thought she just watched. But I was surprised when she could sing the lyrics, of course the tune is not really right. I find her tune a bit monotonous. But she could sing the solfege better. Just that whenever she had to sing in music class, I had to strain my neck and stick out my eyes and ears to see whether she is singing out LOUD.

I guess she is still a very very shy girl. :)

Ryan, on the other hand, was the one singing out loudly when they were watching the DVD together. It is a new way to occupy them. :P

Recently, don't get much complaints about Ryan from his teachers. I guess he is growing out of that 'difficult' phase. But still, he could not pay attention for long. As his Chinese teacher said, he would only be interested when NEW things were being taught, he would stretch his neck all the way to see what's going on. But when it is something he has seen, his mind will fly... *sob* (Mummy : How to pay attention when you go Primary school ?? )
