another mini music concert



Arina had her 2nd concert for ymh's jmc class part 1 end of June, of which Daddy-0 couldnt attend. So these are some photos of her during her mini concert.
1st photo: she was getting ready to start
2nd photo: really trying hard to hit the notes right
3rd photo: the group playing various instruments
4th photo: she ran to me excitedly showing the choc the teacher gave at the end of the show

Now she is in the 2nd part of the course..and it is getting tougher..as in now she has to learn to play both left and right hand together. she is still trying to get the hang of it, controlling her left fingers whilst her right fingers playing the melody. On her first try, she got frustrated and started banging the piano notes, i had to tell the teacher to guide her because the more i try to show her the right way, the more angry she gets and the more harder she banged the piano.

Anyway, she's improving so far and can manage to play the music on her own. It might look simple to us but i guess for them, doing it for the first time can be quite daunting hehe i still remember my first few lessons at home, then later, when i got older, my mum sent me to this very 'garang' teacher who would hold a metal stick to guide our fingers/hand whilst playing the piano. Even daddy-o has a 'garang' one too i was told.

Right now, a parent has to attend the class with the child; up until probably when they finished part 4 if not mistaken. I cant wait for that too..but then again..i then may have to go through it again with the adik when it is her turn.. oh well..that's how it goes, isnt it?! And to think this is just one out of school activity so far ;)
