My DS is in String emsemble. Is it true u have to take private lessons outside for the new instrument that you are assigned to? So on top of the regular CCA time, you have to schedule time for private lessons? -
Yes. My DS is offered cellist post. He has to source for a cello tutor and I hv to pay for his weekly lessons costing approx $100 per hr. The cello will be lent to him for 4 years though. However, some seniors told him that they buy their own instruments to avoid lugging the bulky instrument to n from school. Apparently, those who are taking double bass classes are subsidized. What instrument is ur DS learning?

Most of the violinists would be having their own private teachers anyway, so why not all the other instrumentalists like violists, cellists, etc, right?naggo-nitemare:

My DS is also offered Cello. So did you get the tutor from one of the list of music centres recommended or you go to other music centre? Do you attend lesson at the music centre or does the tutor visit your home?
I have not enrolled him for lesson yet? Are they supposed to start lesson asap? -

My son has gone for his 3rd cello lesson at tanglewood music school located at fusionopolis because of location (5 min from my place), flexibility in booking lesson timeslots and professionalism. DS is pleased with his Armenian teacher so far. School charges him $45 per 30 mins. He has been advised by staff at the school to start with 30min sessions for now.
DS also mentioned tt the RISE conductor is arranging for those new cellists who hv not found a teacher yet to hv lessons in school, probably on Fridays, with an external teacher, one on one basis, 45 min sessions. No clue on cost yet. DS will stick to tanglewood.
And Congratulations to class of 2010 for doing so well in A levels! -
