I actually think it's too early for a 3-year-old kid to join different classes, they're too small that they actually dont know what's going on..

No, my son is 3 years old, I think this is the time they get expose to different things. He actually learn something from his music class, 'so', 'fa' names, how to bow, stand up in front of a crowd.....There is an open day for a dance school in TW on Friday, so i see on the top of this section. I plan to go and see what is available. But I think you need to call the school first to register!

我個仔都係三歲，佢學跟跳舞同戲劇式普通話班。因為想陪養佢主動D，同埋夠膽面對人群。
其實三歲都係細，都唔係真係想佢哋學識跳舞或者講到普通話，但我發覺上咗呢D班一D都唔悶，以活動同故事歷奇為主，學咗之後個人開心咗，社交能力好咗，都感染到少少音樂感，同埋唱到普通話歌，有少仲講番老師講的故事，都好開心呀!

可以學綜合藝術、創意畫、音樂班等, 我小朋友都是於3歲的時候學綜合藝術和音樂, 不單止開心, 仲學到獨立和跟同伴相處。我見她學得幾好, 所以都繼續跟那些老師學。

and i didn't know lo fung have classes for 3 yr old!? and i've heard in order to enroll to their class, you need to be put on waiting list for at least 2 to 3 years??? is that right for your case???
and i'll enroll him in either ABC pathways or British council's english courses early next year (2nd term of K1) any comments on either program??

Hello! Nice to meet you here.
We're attending our 4th lesson of Music Wonderland at Tom Lee (Metro City branch) this week. I personally have quite a strong belief in the Yamaha music education system particularly regarding ear training and acquisition of general musicianship. My boy enjoys himself in any kind of interest class/activity and likes all of his teachers; hard to tell if this course is particularly good from his perspective. The only complaint from me is the size of the classroom - just too small for 12 pairs of participants. Our teacher, Miss Ha, is very cheerful and experienced. And the lessons are well-planned - with well-developed, interesting materials and music to take home for review over the weeks. I've assumed our long-term commitment to the Tom Lee music programme anyways.

Being too focused on western classical music and instrumental playing myself, I really hope to introduce my child to a diversity of interests. I don't care if he would like to become a professional dancer some day. However, I hope he can learn to respect whoever teaches him and to be disciplined and responsible. To me, attitude is most valued. In the first place, I'll put him in a ballet class which is supposed to be strictest and most demanding in dancing.

Regarding Lo Fung, I really appreciate its good value for money and reputation. $420 / 4 lessons (1.5hr).My boy was put on their waiting list in Dec 2008. I called them up again a month before his 3rd birthday and let them know that he could take up any weekday class. Once he turned 3, they rang up offering a place on Wednesdays. So, it wasn't that long, in my case.

I've read poor comments on British Council's kindy programme from other BK moms. Already put off. Isn't worth the money and time of travel.
Heard so little from ABC Pathway. Kinda over-priced in my opinion. There're a couple of learning centres in my area which are well-received by parents and students alike; they present very good public exam track records too. What's more, the child's language ability depends greatly on the environment and his reading habit.

and thanks for the comment on english programs. i was hoping to expose my son to more native speaking english environment. i guess i will research a bit more first then.
and i just realize, how come your son can enroll in MW for a month already? thought the child has to be at least 3 yrs 2mo in order to enroll? coz i went to TL and ask for course info last week, the receptionist ask me the exact date of my child's dob.

In fact, my boy's reaching 3 yrs and 2 mths tomorrow. I asked the staff about that at enrollment in March - I said that the time of that particular class would be perfect for us whereas classes commencing May/June/July couldn't do the same. I also told her that my child had been attending other music and interest classes and was very settled in any environment. Finally she agreed to admit him.

my son is not going to any "famous" kg, just the ones close by home (coz his health condition, his grandparents dont want him to go too far away from home for just kg)
therefore, i want to and i will and i must enroll him to some kind of good english program. and also wants him to take either music or art for long term.
how about your son? all set for next year k1 yet? coz i assume all kg are registering these days for coming september's new school year.

But they've put your girl on their waiting list, right?
I remember their Kwun Tong branch used to accept kids no younger than 4 years (or 3.5?). I was surprised too when they offered a place to my son in March when he was just celebrating his 3 rd birthday.

I like to hear more from parents of ABC Pathway, too. See if it's worth trying. Personally, I only remember their relatively high prices.
Frankly, I believe I can get something quite the same and of the same quality at a cheaper price in the other learning centres in my area.

I am registering my boy with TKO Methodist Kindergarten this week. My target primary school is Kei Wan - a subsidized school on the Island. So, I don't bother spending too much on his kindergarten education. $700/month - this kindy includes Montessori, JELIC and Orff Music in their main curriculum and has a good Christian tradition!
Being a single mom and a self-employed music teacher, I need more flexibility in utilizing my economic resources. I dare not commit my son to a school which charges a substantial fee. I'd rather let my son try more interest classes when I am financially capable; in another word, whenever I am worse off, I can suspend it and resume when I am better off.

Hi, ohmygosh! As I know you're a professional musician, how do you think of Suzuki method?
My daughter is about 2 and I'd like her to join Tom Lee/Parsons/Yip's. Their prices are reasonable for me.
I've heard about KinderU Suzuki Music Acadamy is offering music playgroups in Suzuki method currently. It costs ~$300/session. Class size is small, about 4-8 which I think is good. What do you think about this? It's quite expensive really. Just don't know if it's worth.
Or just don't border until she's 3?
By the way, did your son join Kids Playhouse's baby storyland as you mentioned? I'm interested in that course as well. Can you share some comments about this?
Thx!

I prefer Tom Lee and Yip's due to their long history of providing such courses, clear focuses, and relatively reasonable fees.
Parsons music courses are centred on Alfred's materials. Honestly, being a full-time instrumental teacher (graduated from a British university with a music performance degree), I've introduced my son to violin and piano playing with some better books! I am not particularly a fan of Alfred's publications.
Suzuki... is not my cup of tea, either. It encourages playing by ear. New pupils who come to my studio with Suzuki books are often weak in sight-reading and normally need to learn reading the dots all over again. (P.S. I don't know much of Suzuki method in depth. Just from my experience of recruiting new students and a basic glance at the Suzuki books) After all, I don't believe in the 'claimed' magic of Suzuki Method.
Furthermore, I heard so many poor comments about KinderU when I took my son to different playgroups in the past years...not worth the high fees...
Better save up $500-800 each month for concert/show tickets! Don't rely too much on the courses.

I've blacklisted 'Graceful Hands' after hearing quite much...about it from other BK moms.
Do you live near Po Lam? We live at Hang Hau. I am quite interested in the Trinity and Cambridge English courses organised by Shine Kids Studio near our residence. Rate is around $200/hr, class size: max 6-7. Native speakers. Sounds pretty good and experienced with students' public exam results displayed at the centre. However, I've enrolled my child in too many courses already. Hardly let him try this one.

Glad to know that you've registered your little one for MW.
Haha... I grew up in Island East (Taikoo Shing). But my parents moved to Tseung Kwan O when I was studying abroad. So, when I came back, I could no longer go back there. Since I need their help in looking after my son when I am teaching, I must live close to them. In fact, I won't consider the primary schools in TKO area - probably only those in Island East.
Kei Wan (Aldrich Bay) is said to be better.

It's a shame that we haven't had a chance to try "shine kids studio" yet. Haven't come across anyone who has tried it, either. It just seems good. Wish to hear from parents of this studio, too.

Hi ILBC, sorry if I had intruded, but I just want to share. I do have piano training (all the way), my son is now taking Suzuki at Prince Edward. I realize they learn more to play by the ear, and perhaps they are weak at reading notes, but I really appreciate their encouragement, their way of teaching, and the kids have good ears, good listening skills and really appreciate music. It really help boost confidence and self-esteem in a kid. My son has taken their kodaly and now their Suzuki piano course, he can read so fa names at 3 y.o. I think it would be best to start with Suzuki, then when they need more skills, I may consider transfering back to traditional way.原帖由 ILBC 於 10-5-18 02:01 發表

Thanks for your sharing!
I learnt one parent here saying it's good so I just wanna know more about it. I'm checking the KinderU Suzuki centre in Wan Chai. Don't know if they're the same?
The piano courses are very expensive for me. $16000/18 lessons!
My daughter is just 2, I'm not considering any specific musical instruments learning at the moment. But yes, I want to arouse her interest in music first and just don't want to join music playgroup with more than 10 kids in a class. As my girl is very active and easily be distracted, small class size is much suitable I think.
Yes, I'm thinking about joining Suzuki at her early age for better ear training first. When she starts learning an instrument later, may switch back to the traditional one.

佢地(explorer Island) 既 phonics 係用Letterland 既教材(我prefer letterland 既教學多d ) 星期一至五 $160一堂, 而星期六,日就 $180, 佢有補堂, 補堂可以單對單教, 教既過程係睇左 (當日要教既字母) Letterland 既片先, 之後就做練習, 講吓故事..等, 係由一個加拿大藉外籍先生教, 阿女都係上了兩堂, 未知好唔好, 不過我見個price 都比出面平而且最多都只係4個小朋友開一班, 所以就試吓先囉....

I should say $16K for 18 private and 18 group lessons in 18 weeks for piano, violin, viola or cello.
No, not 2.5 yrs old but 3.5 if the kid is capable after assessed by the teacher.
I don't think I can afford the instrumental classes but consider its Prelude ECE classes for younger children.

the suzuki music my son went to is different from Kinder U. He is going to HK Suzuki Talent Education Center. They have schools in Prince Edward and Tai Wai. I can't remember exactly how much I paid, but i think is roughly $200/lesson. The director there is quite organized and does have a passion for music. He teaches in English and there is about 10 couples. My son hasn't started real piano yet, I think later they will start individual class, but he does learn to bow before he sits on the piano and is learning how to use his fingers, not only on the piano but ring bells, nose, tummy...etc. We have home work each week, very easy just a list of task and you are just suppose to tick each day if you have reviewed the task. He is now 3, but I think he is actually learning something rather than music playgroup. I had been to Orff too, which I think is fun, playgroup style which exposes the kids to songs, instruments such as drums and other percussion instruments. I also visited the Suzuki in Wanchai which is only for Violin. I think they are too expensive though!原帖由 ILBC 於 10-5-19 18:23 發表

Actually I was living at Po Lam be and now moving to the Lohas Park.. my girl is also going to Po Lam (greenville) for N Class... actually, I get the seat from both GH and KV, but I am consider to be stay at greenville too due to I like their complex educational system and they can offer whole day school for my girl. By consider to be going to KV, I will then need to found some good english + mandarin courses for my girl then... am still can't making my final decision upto this moment... Ai.....
Anyway, why you have blacklisted Gracful hands, I did joint their easter playgroup which seems to be ok and I will also joint part of their summer course too.
In terms of Shine Kids Studio, do you means the one at La Cite noble (the small shop near enopi) ?? that shop seems to be so small by compare of explorer island...Any other good recommdation of english course at TKO area ?
besides, did you know A+ at Po Lam,I do call them today by checking their summer course schedule.. but the attitude of the receptionist was pretty bad...
so I might not consider this shop too.

dch_07 ,
Thanks for your sharing. But the transition from playing by ear to reading the dots on the page can be quite a headache. And learning to read the score itself doesn't exploit the child's listening skills and music appreciation. On the contrary, it can even enhance those skills and improve the child's self-confidence! That's all from my teaching experience - there're so many real cases in my studio.

其實我當初係見好多bk媽咪討論邊種phonics好﹐看了許多留言﹐最後自己便相信Hooked On Phonics應該很不錯﹐是上上之選。見新都城Parsons有﹐報名也沒怎麼理會價錢﹐但後來計下條數﹐tuition+materials每堂要成三百蚊﹐好似貴左d﹐有想過轉學其他phonics。但因為不想個小朋友從頭學過(問過其他centres話要)﹐而且我個仔真係學得好好又開心﹐記得'sai' 所有教過的 letter sounds﹐仲識得運用於日常生活﹐老師(男性﹐美國白人)也很好﹐富經驗﹐教學又有系統﹐所以我都決定讓他繼續學下去﹐除非有日我捱不住啦。

My son learnt Kindermusik, The Music Class, Handbell and Orff Music before 3. Don't bother changing if you think your child's still learning something from the current playgroup. You can go straight into MW later (at 3y2m). Music Toddlers is not in the Yamaha Music Education System - just a music playgroup created by Tom Lee themselves. However, if you prefer small class size, more interaction with the other coursemates, want the child to attend the class independently, or our child can hardly be settled on a piano stool, MW would not be your cup of tea.

Better start individual instrumental tuitions at 4.5-5. Don't rush it. My humble opinion and from my real teaching experience: at 3-5, let your child grow up in some quality music classes, sing in a choral group/choir, take him to concerts and variety shows weekly/fortnightly, foster his positive attitudes towards learning anything, sense of responsibility and discipline!
Regarding individual tuitions, the background, qualification, experience and personality of that particular teacher is much more essential than which particular studio/shop it is.

Hi, Ohmygosh,
My son is now ~2.5yrs old. I am planning to put him for music class..From above, noted you put ur son to Yip's..How could you compare Yip's to Tomlee or Parsons? Too much choices, donno which one is better..Hope u can give me some advices..Thanksssss
作者: ohmygosh 時間: 10-5-28 00:00
HealthyB
To me, Yip's is more like a music school. I am looking to let my child enjoy group learning and the different performance opportunities in there. So, I expect to keep him in Yip's for some years - first, in a pre-schoolers' music class (currently attending), then violin (to start at the age of 4)...For choral singing, I'll eventually put him in the Hong Kong Children's Choir.
My son has been doing CPS-L1 since April. He attends the class independently that I can only get to know what he's learnt through his worksheets, music and his own sharing after class. In my view...that's a mix of singing, learning of hand signs, note recognision (both letter names and time values), and clapping the rhythm. Not bad...actually hard for me to comment since I am a demanding music teacher myself and I've taught my child much more than that. However, I've planned to let him go through all the levels of the pre-schoolers' course.
Never tried any music courses at Parsons. Not interested either as I myself can, if I wish, teach my child with those Alfred's music books - and in fact, I am already using other better books for my child.
Tom Lee offers the Yamaha music education system which mainly and famously contributes to good listening skills and musicianship of the child.

小朋友都三歲喇﹐我傾向揀d有得長遠發展的項目﹐從語文﹐音樂﹐視藝﹐運動/舞蹈這幾方面入手﹐事前多問些其他家長的意見﹐找一些內容合適﹐有系統﹐教學有口碑的課程和中心﹐我通常對短期課程興趣不大﹐一般都會選擇常規課程﹐並計劃起碼在該中心上一段長時間(起碼幾年)。其實小朋友的喜好不太重要﹐家長有責任嚴選課程/學習項目﹐認為對孩子有益的話﹐便要堅持﹐並教孩子尊重每一位老師﹐及認真對待每一個興趣班/學習機會。

My son was put in some Mandarin playgroups (2-3 days/week) at Le Beaumont (Hang Hau centre) at the age of 6 months for a year. The teacher was very good, nice and patient, willing to communicate with parents, from Xi'an(北方口音),國家語委一級乙﹐married with a Hongkonger, and is mother of a 8 or 10-year-old girl. Later, she left the centre; I didn't like the new teachers so I withdrew my son from the centre. That lady is now teaching privately only in her home centre (寶寧花園). She's a full-time tutor and has lots of pupils - children and adults alike.

From Dec 2008 to April 2009, we were attending a Mandarin playgroup weekly at QQ Club. There were 7-8 pairs in the classes. Little interaction.
In May, I let my little boy learn with a private teacher - from Shanghai, 國家語委一級乙, married to a Hongkonger. At the age of 2, my boy could sit still, be settled and very focused at the table for 1.5 hour learning to read Chinese words and speak Mandarin. However, the other two boys (older than my son)in the group couldn't sit still and learn properly that we had to quit after a month. I always wished to find a good partner for my son to have tuitions with that lady again. But that wasn't easy.
6 months later, my son learnt at Joykids (Tiu Keng Lang) for 2 months. Again, the other child in the class was very active and unattentive. We left again.
At that time, I was lucky to meet his first Mandarin teacher again at a shopping mall. I got her number and supposed to let my child go back to learn with her. However, her place is slightly inconvenient. Also, I've already enrolled my child in too many activities/courses. What's more, in September, my little one will be going onto kindergarten where he'll surely have some mandarin classes every week. So, I don't bother putting him in a Mandarin class outside now.
