LMasA at year 5?????!!!!!

yep, there are many talented kids out there!

Jashua Han, the Korean boy, obtained his LMusA in piano when in Year 5 (his elder brother got his LMusA in violin in Year 6).

Another Chinese boy also passed the LMusA exam in Year 5.  He started this year in Barker College on full scholarship.

My kid (also a boy)could have done the same in Year 5 as well.  But the teacher does not like her students to go for LMusA at too young an age.  Every teacher has her/his own way of teaching.  And we agree with the teacher.

does your boy like piano or music? does he need to be reminded when he does his practice? are you or your partner musician? and most important: how many hours does he practise every day? : )

he is a great kid in any sense : )

你们这些asian parents又把奖学金的bar提高N个level

没有最高只有更高

看来有些家长要受不了再次移民了

奖学金对asian 和对白人的衡量尺度不一样。 人家一个leadership potential就把asian kids给逼回去了。

好像没有leadership奖项，有学术、艺术、音乐、体育、社会服务等专项，就是没有领导奖，估计因为无法量化

请教，有哪些区是值得做backup的校区房？

hmmm...这个流行趋势我们就不赶了。。。一条路走到哪儿算哪儿了。。。

回眸一笑

太佩服这些做父母的，有这样的毅力和吃苦耐劳，其实不要把精力全放在孩子身上，做其他什么都会成功的。然后让孩子轻松一点，不是很好吗，这样父母有事业的成就感，孩子有幸福的童年

I think he likes computer games better than the piano!

But what he has going for him are (1) being a fast learner; (2) a natural aptitude for the piano and (3) a good memory.  So, even though he usually practises only one hour a day (more during school holidays), he has been able to progress quite quickly.   

He sort of started with the piano on his own initiative at age 4.  It has been such a part of his life that he has become used to the daily practice.  

Both my partner and I are not professional musicians, but I played a couple of orchestral instruments in my youthful (and stupid) days from high school till I finished postgraduate study in China.

以上套路暂时一个也没有。看来我是不走寻常路的。

我家孩子也是四岁开始自主学琴，没人教，自己边听边学，学了好几本书，几十首曲子全都背下来了

跟了一个很好的老师。我觉得老师太注重考试比赛演出之类的，很多时间都花在上面

他完全可以弹更难的曲子，不过老师不让，总是准备考试，耗着。

而且曲子扣的很细，每个音符每个细节，非常耗时间


你家孩子是这样过来的吗？还是只要他能弹高的曲目，就让弹？乐理过了四级吗？

是呀，他耳朵很好使，使几个键同时弹很容易听出是那几个键，记忆力也很好，听几遍弹俩遍就记下来了，所以sight reading极差，用不着眼睛呀

真不算牛蛙，去钢琴比赛看看，这样的孩子乌央乌央的。所以俺也不推了，老老实实好好学习吧
