perfect ears

Tracy says:

Tracy says:

not everyone has it loh

siew sian says:

oh. ya i just realised it

siew sian says:

sight reading

siew sian says:

eh ya sumtin i hav not noticed yet

Tracy says:

yup

Tracy says:

they are very poor cos everything go by ear

siew sian says:

oh. fair enough. i think need both individual lessons and yamaha together

Tracy says:

correct

siew sian says:

they complement each other

Tracy says:

and the individual lesson, the teacher must make them read

siew sian says:

so true.

siew sian says:

in nz rite they dun hav yamaha system

Tracy says:

reli

siew sian says:

not that popular

Tracy says:

so sad

siew sian says:

ya i feel so too

Tracy says:

coa a lot of kids like the course

siew sian says:

it sustains my interest in music

siew sian says:

otherwise ehe individual lessons sure guarantee lose interest

Tracy says:

yeah

Tracy says:

cos it's very boring

Tracy says:

most kids say group class better

siew sian says:

i agree
