Piano concert

Natalie had completed two years of Junior music course (JMC) with yamaha and next year she will move on to the intermediate level without having the parents tagging along. As a parent who didn't possess any musical background the courses conducted by yamaha sets an extremely good foundation for the kids for we had to accompany them and ensure that they learn and practice the techniques at home properly. So strong foundations coupled with family support were set at the forefront and parents too get to learn music at the same time. The philosophy behind this makes the course successful in instilling interest in Little children making them unafraid of hardship and with the year end concert in place they are given an opportunity to show off their talent to the rest of the family members.

Natalie enjoyed music and she is such a systematic student that I don't even have to ask her to practice, and she always manages to find time to practice before she sleeps. I love the fact that she can now organise her own routine and she don't't need to be stressed by a pouncing mummy who had to nag at the kids all the time to get work done. I am glad I never have to go down that route either as it is tough for the parent to want to be in control all the time and it makes you an unpopular figure in the house as well. -"Thank you darling for not transforming mummy into a tiger mum. "

Nathan seems to love music too. He attended jie jie's performance last week and couldn't resist dancing to the beat! Everyone watched on with amazement as he grooved and jumped in front of the class.  We had such a good time that day!

Natalie had been practicing her techniques on a key board and given the perseverance she displayed over the last 2 years,  we felt she can now handle real responsibilities and be rewarded with a real full height piano. The salesperson Anthony was such a persuasive guy and played such wonderful pieces which mesmerised us into agreeing to purchase the piano for her. The piano came on 24th and it was the biggest present that we have gotten for the kids thus far!  Natalie the ever responsible one dusts it each time she plays with it without me having got to remind her.

Thank you Jehovah for giving me such wonderful children and please continue to care for us despite our shortcomings.
