JMC Book 3 Class Party - 弟弟's performance

弟弟's class finally had their JMC Primary 3 class party! For his solo performance, he plays 3 songs "Morning In The Forest", "Little Bluebird" and "March Of The Little Bears".

He chose the t-shirt himself. He said guitar suits music class party :)

Intro and he wanted teacher to accompany him to the piano

Looks so serious during his solo performance

Video of his performance taken by 爸爸. Luckily he is back from business trip in time to attend class party together.

After all the children performed their chosen solo pieces, they sing "Songs of The Seasons".

Some photos during lessons. Really hope he can pay more attention to teacher and listen to teacher's instruction. Teacher Sherlene did mention this class is more playful and she still want the parents to sit in even when they go for JXC. He can play well if he feels like it, but he is always rushed and did not follow timing. He is not that good at listening nor singing. Luckily he has quite big hands and the playing comes easily to him.

Practising "Cast A Spell"

Practicing "Samba King". See he looks so playful here.

As for 姐姐, she is progressing well onto JXC Solfege & Ensemble and Repertoire Book 3. Seems like her class was more mature. The teacher had requested to only have children in the class from JXC after a couple of months.

I took a snapshot of this picture in one of the studios. Yamaha didn't update their website and only hardcopy of this structure is available in their brochure. I guess they didn't think the current students or parents are interested as the school did not give this to us. It's another 7 years for 姐姐 and 9 years for 弟弟 :P
