Since my daughter was 2, we found her very attuned to music. She can hum pop songs we hear on the radio barely after hearing it for more than 3 times. So when she turned 3, we signed her up for Music Wonderland with Yamaha Music School and she’s still there now, currently on book 2 and will be 5 years old this year.


While she is on book 1, we found that she lagged behind others in class because we don’t have any piano/keyboard at home so we decided to buy one.

Since buying the piano, she plays almost everyday. Although in class, teacher emphasise on team playing with parents, she tries to play the songs by herself using both hands. She can also sight-read C major scale notes 80% of the time.

I’m still not sure if she is really talented in music, but I’m wondering is there anything more that I can do as a parent to nurture her interest and find out if she is really talented.

Can anyone advise me on this?
