Hi all,

i am desperately looking for a good and patient piano teacher who is willing to come to my place in Novena/Balestier area. i have two kids, aged 9 and 6, and we currently have a piano teacher coming to our place now. But alas, i think from my kids’ perspective, there may not be any chemistry between them.i get the same phone calls every week asking if piano lesson can be postponed blah blah. kids have feedbacked that teacher raises her voice too - i am not sure how true is that but my helper have heard her voice from the kitchen. i know that my kids are not so much into piano and not motivated to practice, but the teacher has feedbacked that my kids are doing OK and in fact my son is ready to take his grade 1 practical exam this year. i am at a loss now. it will be such a shame to give up based on a teacher whom my kids dislike but i also need to find a good one who is willing to come to my place. i am open to most weekday slots except Tues and Friday. Can you please pm me if you have any recommendations ?
Thanks a lot in advance.

err, base is already $1000 after subsidy. this 20% now incorporates the GST (which was not previously charged) and of cos the base increase. so will be close to $1,200 after subsidy and GST.

is this petition still on? i just received a letter from the preschool last week informing us of a 20% fee increase! reasons being they ‘built a new structure’ etc. to me, these are capital expenditures which should be not a recurring amount charged to the parents. the govt shld seriously step in to provide some sort of governance framework re fee increase.

hi ice78


my boy is in p1 too and takes the school bus. so far it has been OK, but i did notice that he is one of the few P1s on the bus. i warned him that the older boys on the bus may spew vulgarities and more ill behaved etc. and true enough, he experienced it himself. i told him you can hear what they say but do not learn from them. is it the boys on the bus that is bothering him?? i noticed that the older boys do ‘usher’ my son to the seat when he boards. so they’re not so bad, but yeah school buses can be stressful so need to find out the root of the problem.

hi P1 parents,

wld any of you know the rationale of the boys being separated into diff classes during chinese lessons? any of your sons in P1 Gabriel for Chinese?
also, any of your sons in P1 Anthony? perhaps we can exchange some notes here. thanks!
