Based on my experience, throughout the two-year period of the course, about half of the students will leave the course in the first 6-month.  After the course starts for around 2-3 months, it is better for the child to practice the songs at home so that she will enjoy more in the class.  Moreover, it will be more desirable if you can attend the lessons with your child instead of leaving them with the maid.
My daughter already completed the JMC in last year.

Happy Bee or all other experienced Ma,

Did U hear the teacher of Suki Chan of Tom Lee (TST/Cheung Kwan O)?  I would like to know whether she is patient, experienced in teaching pre-school music or not?  It is because she will go to have the class in Tsing Yi.  So, if have any comments, pls advise.

I studied Music Wonderland before and quiet believed that teaching such kind of method is highly depended on the quality of teacher.

Totally agree !!
To my personal experience, I feel quite disappointed with the teaching skills of the teacher. Her presentation skills are not smart enough, making that the children do not enjoy that much and even we as adults cant follow what she wants to teach.

She is just very rush to finish all the steps in the lesson in order to cover all the teaching tips. However, she cant teach all the steps in a creative way. And to be frank, I do not think that the course is worth for that quite expensive tuition fee.

So i will change the location for my girl, hoping that there will be a better teacher.

我請了私人老師上門教

Because I found the progress of the Tom Lee Class is too slow especially if majority of the classmates did not practise at home.

Golf,

I didn't know Suki Chan as my daughter took the course in Wan Chai.  

I really share your view that the quality of the teacher is important.  For my case, I had took the course of Music Wonderland.  The teacher of that course (Miss CHUNG) was good. She could attract the kids to play attention on her face and words.  I found most of them enjoyed the class very much. For the JMC course, the quality teacher is just OK.  Maybe she was good at music knowledges but not the teaching technique and the skill for handling kids of 4-6 years od.

HappyBee,

I also joined the class of Miss Chung for Music Wonderland.  She is a good teacher and know how to handle the kids of 3 yrs old.

Soooo, I hope I can meet another good teacher in Tom Lee.

Dear all Ma ma,

If anyone joined the class of Suki Chan of Tom Lee, pls give your comments.

Tks so much!

早兩日都想跟仔仔報名玩下 (Shatin)，殊不知那位小姐說現在只會放在 waiting list, 大約要等1年至年半才有位，嘩..... 即時打了'突' 。

我還說若有位時，仔仔可能已過了3歲半班那怎樣辦？ 小姐答 '有可能架，咁就會掉去排4歲班囉'。

Tom Lee 得好嗎？咁受歡迎？ 還是現在玩音樂很吃香呢？

Sue,

I am also at the same situation like you.  I am not sure Tom Lee as good or not, by the way, I queue-up first and now I am joining the Little Mozart Music Group in Parsons first... :wink:

sue,
其實我個囡現在讀個班(4-5歲班)都有個小朋友都就快5歲啦，其他小朋友大部分都是剛4歲。
我個囡都係未夠三歲就巳經開始排4歲班。
之前3歲班就未夠二歲就排，不過因為要去太古城返，所以無讀。

我路過的, 我個女都讀緊Tom Lee JMC course, 其實佢地所謂waiting list 係要你個小朋友夠歲數, 同撞

我個女今年頭剛剛讀完JMC四歲班個課程，好與唔好要視乎個別老師，我個女在香港仔CENTRE個老師就麻麻喇，冇耐性教啲跟唔到的學生。我本來是幫她報讀灣仔CENTRE的三歲班的，但等了九個月才有位，當時我女差兩個月已經四歲，所以TOMLEE幫她轉讀香港仔的四歲班。唔知是不是香港仔少人讀，學生年歲好參差，有些好像六七歲，聽說是讀小二的，我個女就最細，重讀僅k2，有些女孩子還學僅私人鋼琴，所以他們學得很快。我個女都算資質唔差，唱歌和聽音都幾好，但一到學彈琴的時侯，手指就唔夠靈活，但個老師就唔多理佢跟唔到，一味只顧住嗰幾個彈得叻的學生。我個女因為跟唔到，又唔明老師講，成日話唔讀落去。其實我每次都陪佢上堂，後期讀BOOK 4有時都唔係好明，何況我個女。所以我就要每次上完堂在家重教一次，還要督促佢練琴，終於讀完成個course攞埋証書。

但我有聽人講太古城CENTRE有些老師就教得幾好，學生個個都是4歲至五歲。所以好視呼那個CENTRE和個別老師。

課程方面，BOOK 1像唱遊，比較多跟拍子唱歌做動作和聽CD。BOOK 3 和BOOK 4就較多彈電子琴和聽音。我個女嗰班讀到BOOK 4衹剩下一半人，另一班祇剩一兩個，要合併入我個女嗰班。因為後期好多女孩子都轉去學鋼琴，因JMC所教的樂理和正式鋼琴有唔同，JMC教的是YAMAHA日本式，而鋼琴老師教的是歐洲式。JMC教睇譜是學DO RE ME...，但鋼琴老師教的是C,D,E,F,G..調，每個調個DO音都唔同位置，但JMC教的就固定位置。我因為無學過鋼琴，唔職講，只衹知兩種方法有唔同。我個女現在開始學琴，琴老師話佢聽音和拍指就好好，但就要執佢手勢和睇譜要重頭學過。

Yes, Ms Chung is very good.  My girl promoted to JMC becuase she doesn't enjoy it as much as before.

I think a good teacher makes the world of difference. I am thinking to drop out. Waste time and money if no progress is made.
