Hi Tingmum,

Is it expensive to purchase the percussion instruments?  And, do you think percussion is easy to learn?  

Ar... I am considering an easy instrument for my daughter.  I don't think she co ...

我都報左PERCUSSION. 不過唔知可唔可以JOIN指定老師果GROUP呢?

hello everyone!!
hello little princess!!
i did go to camoes submit the documents... they did only take the documents they mentioned... no portfolio.
even i knew that already... i still prepared one just in case... of cause, i didn't force them to take it... since i saw some parents have their portfolio which composed with more than 50 pages of certs. and awards, 30 recommendation letters form the most top people of the high level society, in a hard cover 4 color print folder and put it inside a well crafted paper gift box.... (all we should mention within the lesson of PCSP).

to be honest... i'm very happy that they don't accept any portfolio at all!!

Hi flostangraphy,

What a brilliant idea!  

too bad... I just read your message.  Did you go to school last Sat?  I missed the chance to ask you to do me a favour.  I need a brilliant pigeon to deliv ...

How did you know what was inside the "well crafted paper gift box" ?

You possess X-ray vision ?!!

Little princess，
Percussion Course ( Glockenspiel & Practice Pad )成套大約係三千幾蚊. 都叫容易學, 易上手, 如小朋友覺得學樂器難，用ｐｅｒｃｕｓｓｉｏｎ做開始都好．

學敲擊樂對小朋友將來學其他樂器會有幫助, 我仔仔一直有學鋼琴,上了 percussion course後，對他彈鋼琴時的拍子同大細聲是有明顯有改善.

silvia_ng ,
我唔知是否可以JOIN指定老師，　仔仔提過他的ｐｅｒｃｕｓｓｉｏｎ老師好嚴，另一ｇｒｏｕｐ的小朋友說他的老師有要求．我想舊年倆位老師應都差唔多，如今年老師不變，倆個都ｏｋ，你放心！

X-ray vision? ha ha ha!!! i do wish i do!!! :lover:

just as every parent do... we all take the document out and final check everything is there...
of cause, mine with only 5 pages are easy and fast to control...
as for the others... i can say i have enough time to go through from 13 to 29 with them, after i lost the number... :badfeel:  they just sit in front of me when waiting. :omouth:

flostangraphy,

1) Frankly speaking, it is a better idea NOT to accept portfolio as some parents in HK are spending too much time in doing that unduly attractive and going to the extreme!!   
A nicely-packed portfolio normally implies the parents have used a lot of time, efforts and money in preparing for it.   
A kid with that kind of portfolio may not necessarily mean that he/she is talented in particular.   
On the contrary, another kid who does not have such kind of nicely-packed portfolio does not mean that he/she is not talented in one way or the other.   
Personally, I think portfolio should not be placed with too much emphasis in the admission process.     

2) “portfolio which composed with more than 50 pages of certs. and awards, 30 recommendation letters form the most top people of the high level society, in a hard cover 4 color print folder and put it inside a well crafted paper gift box”.   

To me, this sounds like the annual report of a public listed company.   
I think many parents in HK are going too far these days.   
Such game is really going crazy year after year.   
I had seen portfolio like that few years ago and it looks like such practice is still very prevailing now.   
I think this is something that we need to put a halt on it to prevent the vicious cycle to happen again in the time to come.  

3) May we know what is “PCSP”?

4) Even though you are so luck to possess such
“X-ray vision”, I highly recommend you to keep it to yourself only.   

Otherwise, I am afraid that you will be a very lonely parent even though your son can be admitted because no TSL parents dare to meet with you in person!!  



Sorry, just joking, no offence!!

ha ha ha, you are completely right! i'm sure camoes has the good reason to not accept any portfolio, even though, i have prepared one as well.... (a very tiny one, i have to admit... )
but well, every parent has their own PCSP, Political Correct Strategy Process) to do what they think the best for their child...
moreover, the competition to get into a good primary school is so hard nowadays...  

WAHOOOOO!!!!! WAHAT!!!
aplication no. is 29xx....!!!!!!
Panic!!!!
Au secours!!!

Do I need to buy a Glockenspiel to my daughter if she decided to take the Western Percussion course? And what is the size of it?

Little_Princess

Thanks, TINGMUM!

You mentioned that the 2 teachers are strict but good.   Do the kids enjoy the class?  To me, letting my daughter learn musical instrument is just for fun.  Her musical sense is really........

Opal,
I believe the teacher in charge will provide you the details very soon.

Little Princess,  
My son enjoyed the course v. much. However, he just quitted it last week.  He said he wants to spend more times on his science research this year (sounds like a PHD student ). He is doing self learning on some of science topics at the moment. As long as he is not doing something bad, I let him to make the decision by his own.

TINGMUM,

Congratulations!!  

A P2 kid can do science research on his own (i.e. cleverer than a PhD graduate)!!
Perhaps he can skip primary and secondary school life and go straight to any university next year!!

Well done!!

TINGMUM,

Although you edited your post this morning, I saw your original post before I slept but it was too late for me to reply to your post last night!!  

As we always criticize the new generation nowadays that they do not have any goals in life, you should be very glad that your son has set such clear goal for himself when he is so young.  

As an old Chinese saying puts it,
<寧欺白鬚公, 莫欺少年童>.

That’s why I always have a great regard for young kids.

Salute, TINGMUM,

Your son is really brilliant!  

Ops.. that means you have a set of the percusion that you may want to sell to me as second hand.

Anyway, I haven't made up my mind of which instrument yet.

估唔到你夜瞓睇左original.

每個小朋友都有叻同弱的特點, 當孩子找到目標 同自我肯定的價值,  生活對他們來說每天都是有意義, 時間也總是不夠用:time:.

我個女同仔的不同之處是:
女女每日會問  我想她做些什麼,
而仔仔每天會告訴我  他想做些什麼

TINGMUM

Little_Princess ,

如學樂器, 學校會派一本小手冊, 上完堂後老師會mark低要回家練的樂曲, 家長要mark 低每星期練了幾耐時間比小朋友上堂交給老師查看. 個做法幾好.   據個仔說 他 percussion老師上堂時是有 smiling face的, 老師只是對沒有回家練的才會嚴d.

我只買了鼓和鼓棍(約百幾蚊). 而片琴則是高年班家長借用, 己還.  你可以上音統處個網, 比你囡囡再聽下不同樂器的演奏, 問清楚你囡囡喜歡學什麼樂器才決定吧.:loveliness:

TINGMUM,

Yes, every kid has his/her own character and even for twins, the brothers/sisters may not be alike in many cases.

My kid is somewhere between your daughter and your son.
She sometimes said “I want to be this or that in future” but she always changes her mind.  

Anyhow, we should be glad if our children can find out what their real interests are and set clear goals for themselves and then go for it.
