Sunday Violin

Today's the first time Renee's had her violin lesson on a weekend(and on our family day even, heee) and it had turned out pretty well. However, I wasn't sure if it was due to the prep-talk or that she's really more responsive since she's not tired(after school) that she trial-played the whole of the new song she's to learn today and not only once, but a couple of times, for the teacher's guidance - which is good and important, 'cos there're new things to be learnt! - the same down-bow with 2 same notes(this is not that bad for Renee to grasp though Ms Mok said that she has one pri-level student who had prob with, but with this, I'm already fretting the time when it comes to her having to play a few notes with 1 bow!)

Ms Mok gave her 2 stars today - for passing the song she's learnt earlier, 1 for Twinkle2 Little Star's theme and the other's 'Lightly Row'. I can see the slight surprise look on Ms Mok's face when she heard Renee played the full song of 'Lightly Row' 'cos Renee had been extremely unco-operative on the day she's learning this song and hadn't play a single note for Ms Mok. So, with that, I guess she must be expecting quite abit of mistakes from her and without any, she said "actually she can really play". Ey, alot of hardwork on my part hor! ;P. Well, as long as results are good/positive, it comforts me liao...

When leaving, Ms Mok kindly asked if this timing's ok for us and if we wish to change it to Sunday afternoons, she's also ok to accomodate. However, I would personally prefer it to be on Saturdays, before we head for our usual family gatherings but her commitment with AiTong Pri will only allow her to be back by earliest 4pm. Hmmm, perhaps I should try 1 week on Saturday with the later afternoon slot to see how Renee fare before we decide.
