Nadine has been attending Yamaha's junior music course since April. The course teaches children 3 elements of music - rhythm, melody and harmony, through hearing, singing and playing.
I had initially wanted to start Nadine on the piano immediately. But our neighbour, a piano teacher, said that Nadine will probably be bored to tears if she takes 1-on-1 classes at this age, and she suggested that we send Nadine to Yamaha. So we took her advice.
Despite the variety of things, there were certain segments of the lesson that can be quite boring, and Nadine will sometimes tune out and be in a world of her own. Nonetheless, she can now play do-re-mi-fa-so on her right hand, and can play some of the songs quite well too. The challenge is to keep her interested in the class, and in learning music, for the next hopefully many many years!
