Emily quit Junior Music Class with Yamaha last June. Basically I am not happy with the teacher because she is going way too fast for the children. Emily is also not enjoying the class. I believed lack of encouragement for her.

One thing that I do not like about the JMC Yamaha class is that the parent has to be there in the class. At this particular class, the time is also not right. It is right after Emily wakes up from her nap. She tends to cling on to me in the class and refuse to play at times. I had to do extra work during the work day to get her up to speed with her lessons. It was tiring for me and I decided to throw in the towel. By the way, the fees went up too for Yamaha.

Now, I have changed her to another music school. She will attend the class on her own with a few other children. Most important, the time slot is before her nap. Let’s hope the teacher is nicer and encourages her to play. In any music school, the teacher is very important. I wanted the teacher who taught my nephew. Imagine, my nephew takes very little time to practice and now he is playing so well.
