How much do you spend on the kids' tuition/enrichments?

foreverj:

yup, just started keyboard not long ago. $130 a mth.


as for the others, S&D - $200, ballet - $60, chinese - $112. altogether abt $500, excluding cc. actually u very good at budgeting leh. both daughter's expenses abt same as my one dd

Haha, they used to attend a whole lot more when younger. Between the two of them: shichida, phonics, chinese, abacus, music, kumon, chinese dance, ballet, speech & drama, gymnastics, various Art classes, swimming, blah blah blah. But I past the phrase of pumping enrichments, nowsaday I try to keep to a minimum :lol:

S&D $200/mth is expensive! Which drama school?

[foreverj]

hehe, yes yes i understand wat u mean. those brain training classes burns a big hole in the pocket :!:


JG classes for S&D plus phonics lor, also dunno if its really that useful cos these kind of classes - u dun really see significant benefit in short term. but we recognise the quality of teachers there r different from the others. n dd enjoys it so consider it as exposure to english language by native speakers haha.

For one instrument piano. Term fee is $1844.70 hence divide by 20 lessons multiple by 4 to convert to per month basis

Yours taking any musical instrument?

The lessons are not back to back. We bring her home for a break then back again.

Need audition. Passing audition is not difficult. However, surviving the course is difficult. Besides the sending/fetching twice on same day, we need to sit with her daily for home practice. Very high commitment and too stressful for us parents especially when we don't have much music background. Hubby already decided to stop after this term. I'm half hearted, want to see her internal exam results before making a firm decision. My dd is probably the only one who wish to continue :faint:

Indeed quite tough for a K2 gal however if she does have interest then dun give up since you travelled to where you are now.


My DS in P1 this year hardly find time to practice his piano. I feel it’s a struggle when they gets to primary school.
