New Guitar

You seem to be very keen and excited to learn your guitar. And you asked to buy an acoustic guitar, offering to pay for it on your own. You have accumulated quite a bit of savings since you continue to get your allowance and have nowhere to spend it. 

So I finally ordered a guitar for you. It's a Takamini brand which you found and researched on your own. The seller suggested to get a hard case (top up from the free soft case). While you weren't too keen on it, in the end daddy offered to buy you the hard case so that the guitar would be shipped to us in it and be safer.

Also being forward thinking that you may want to bring it with you when you go overseas to study. So the case would be used to ship your guitar without damaging it. 

Today is D-day. It finally arrived. Here you are unboxing the guitar:

Trying out the guitar:

I hope you enjoy this guitar. We wouldn't know, since you refuse to play us a song.. even an incomplete song!

The End of Music Classes

After so much stress (both the both of us), we finally agreed to stop attending music class. Although we planned to complete the JXC, you do not seem to want to spend any time practicing music. So rather than wasting time and spending more on the lessons, we decided to end. This picture is of you and Bryan your friend of so many years who is also your classmate in Rajawali.

Piano Exam

As I post this I'm glad that it is finally over. After several months of practice and Miss Goh who kindly gave you all extra classes too.
Whatever the marks is, I'm proud that you put in as much effort as you could down to this morning having one final practice  (although you got angry when you couldn't play one of the pieces).
Here you are goofing around while waiting for your turn:

Music Class

I've just realised that you've been attending music class for almost a year and I have not mentioned it at all in this blog. Well, we were not too sure how long you'd last in the class, but so far the signs look good. You are quite willing to practise the music (not for too long.. but better than none)..

After 6 months of classes it was time for a little "performance". Each child in the class has to sing a song and play 2 songs from the book. We practised in Ipoh during Chinese New Year and when we got back it was time for the "mini concert". It was fun.. and I'm proud to say you did quite well.

It's almost time for the next "mini concert" as we approach the end of Book 2. I must remember to post the pictures/videos sooner... Arghhh....
