Yamaha Music Course for Children

Ever since last June, Princess Chelsea had been taking the Yamaha Music Course for Children, it’s a 2-years program, and we are now into Book 3. Book 4 marks the end of the course, and at the end of Book 3, Princess Chelsea is now familiar with two hands coordinated keyboard playing using the following chord patterns:

C Chord – G7 Chord

G Chord – D7 Chord

F Chord – C7 Chord

A7 Chord – Dm Chord

Princess Chelsea has an amiable learning relationship with her music teacher, Ms. Koh, and Mummy Eliz must say, Ms. Koh puts the joy in learning, one can feel the love for music and enthusiasm pouring forward from her.

Unfortunately, as Ms. Koh is going on maternity leave [of course, we are feeling happy for her], Princess Chelsea has to join the next class, she attended one session just over the weekend, and now the joy has been taken out of the learning.

It’s the same sequencing, melody singing, chords recognising etc, but the happy mood in the atmosphere is gone. The teacher in the next class, is a little too serious for comfort, and has an almost joyless face.

Well, maybe that's her personal style, if we had gotten her from the start, there would be no basis for comparison, but we had Ms. Koh, so it was like from the fluffy dreamy clouds to the hard ground.
