Ziqi- Plays around a lot in class. Not progressing much, part of it due to her book. Concluding that that book is not a good book for violin studies. I plan to get her to grade 1 exam next year.
Nick- Can't reach his violin end. My bad, his violin is too big for him. He tell me that it's painful at parts like his neck and arm. We are learning in banjo now. We just finish this song, but he cant do the final sliding note without his bow. Nick feel that violin is difficult, said he wanted to quit. I am facing trouble to work his violin in Nick's small body. Haiz...
Chew Ming- on a same pace as Nick now. Chew Ming feel the same way Nick's feel with violin. Not much improvement. His fingers are not flexible til now.
Zhe Xin- I told her mother to give her 3 months more, to decide whether she's suitable to continue learning violin. I myself feel that she enjoys playing violin during lesson. Zhe Xin plays in a very slow, and robotic way. Zhe Xin can only do better if she practices at home, but I bet she doesn't. Zhe Xin was distracted every time Christopher comes in. Maybe Zhe Xin like a friend is play, but I think Zhe Xin likes Christopher.^^
Christopher- intensively preparing for his theory exam. He's having 1 hour lesson next week. He has got only passing marks lately. I have to explain his mistakes in previous exams, before letting him do his practices next week. Christopher's exam is on 14 of March.
Amirul- improving very fast. everything seems very simple to him, no challenges at all. Still, he has to go through his book for stronger basics. Mmm, this guy doesn't seem interested in violin from what I see when he plays. Amirul doesn't talk or have much eye contact with me. Maybe it's just the gap between us, awkward.
Ruvisha- finishes 3 exam pieces. started D major and A major scales. I think she is not fit for exam standard. I have to push her a little, to practice maybe everyday.
Xue Ying- In prep test: 4 now. Clapping the time of a song. She got it but cannot differentiate 2 and 3 time. She misses the replacement, Christine scolded her mother for me.
Sao Chyi- Finishes all things, except aural test and sight reading. I can tell, she practices. Good progress in scales.
James Mak- We are bonding. James started doing theory today. No problem, just a little trouble understanding time signature.
Katelynn- Decided song for group C, C1. I was a bit unorganized with her today. Ended up learning nothing today. She learned B flat major scales, checking in progress next week because she did not get it that well.
Yu Hang- plays very slow. very messy until he finally decides to play what's written on the book. He's arms have no control from himself. they run freely, and have no strength.
Founded out that aural test for every musical instrument is the same.
