bbmouse; think i would carry him lor. but he ain't light. today i carried tian.. i was like.. so light! and huajing got a chance to carry teng.. tomorrow she will strike 4D.. heehee.. i think her arms should be sore now.
hmmm.. yes.. many ways to appreicate music. but i would want teng to be able to appreciate music in the way miser and i did.. the joy of playing in an orchestra.. and certain moments in music appreciation can only be felt.. when we played together.. and of course, the theory exams and such. are to help him appreciate and read/anaylse the music scores with greather ability..
i understand what u meant. and with any kind of testing and assessment.. this is a possible outcomes.. stress.. but if u look at it this way. in life, nothing comes easy.. there is stress everywhere.. and we all need stress to grow.. i am not saying that we have to go thru severe stress to grow. but a certain limit of stress is inevitable..it is interesting to define this term 'joy in learning'... where does the joy come from? from acheving something.. i assume.. and in the process of acheiving something.. there is a certain level of inevitable stress.. coz that's the motivation behind it..
what u have experiuenced.. is what i feel.. rote learning.. very sian.. and very stresseful.. coz sometimes.. that takes the joy out.. coz u can't feel the music anymore.. if u over practice it.. guess for us. as least for me.. i will have to help teng balance. and keep the overal pitcture in mind.. to appreciate the music and learning process.. can pass cannot pass.. is not a priority.. the process is what i am after..
hmmm..maybe teng can sing? haha.. but start with piano easier.. and like star.. i want to learn with him..say only
