I've been wondering how their school's music lessons are being conducted(was even telling Ms Mok so the other day when she explained some part of theory -which has to be taught in the 'piano way', and Renee didn't seem to ren much given that she's alr started on abit of keyboard at sch) and co-incidentally, we received an invitation recently, to sit in the lesson today. On Wednesdays, the school compound is always more crowded/packed, so I tried to go there earlier and thus, that leaves me a good hour break since the music lesson will only begin at 9am - so I headed for a nice KFC chicken wrap breakfast, yum... :D
During the sit-in, although I found the little bit of singing and movement part may be fun for her but much to my dismay, the finger & notes 'naming' by the teacher, actually create confusion 'cos it's different from what she's learnt(violin). I really appreciate this opportunity 'cos it provided me with a better in-sight of what's really going on and now, I know what I have to 'edit' whilst coaching her violin practices at home and what may complement that in the future(if used/remembered).
It was already close to 10am by the time the lesson ended, so I decided to stay back @school instead of going home for that less than half hour rest. Jenny, Caitlin's mom, saw me waiting outside the school, beckoned me to join her for coffee and I picked up abit more info from her that I could use as reference in my coming search of enrichment classes(I've been told long ago that I'm late, in doing so and it seemed like it's true, haiz...).
Lately, it's been tougher to get Renee to sleep before 9pm when she's had an afternoon nap and I'm thinking to do away with that. But since she's having her violin lesson today and to avoid her falling asleep in the car when we have to go pick papa's car from the workshop later, she was told to nap...
Hubby then drove us to Ms Mok's place and also dropped us at Compass point thereafter, for me to run my errands before we go and collect the car from workshop. Although the school's just passed me the books I've ordered this morning, Renee and I still couldn't resist looking at the books @ the bookfair, but controlling myself, I only got these, which are of a different nature-more work-booky, :)
The books ordered from Scholastic
The title of this book on the brochure caught my attention, :)
Sample pages of its contents
The workbooks(thought the $ counting books might be useful in e near future, heee)
