A Not So Traditional Chinese New Year Tradition...

The Kids on Air family followed the Chinese New Year tradition of a family reunion dinner in class today. All the kids seemed to be using chopsticks for the first time, and they enjoyed trying it out. And what food did they try it out on? No, not rice or noodles....but hamburgers!

From First Touch Piano to MusikPiano

I am so glad that some of my First Touch Piano students have completed the recent module and been promoted to MusikPiano for more advanced piano learning.
After studying few modules of First Touch Piano, they have built up some basic musicianship and their confident in playing piano. Let’s keep it up and I am sure you will do a great job in MusikPiano Class too.

Congratulation…… Claudia, Emma, Marcus and Milla.

Kids, let’s continues our music journey and one day you will move on to the next step of piano learning too.

A Proud Day

Months of hard work certainly paid off when 120 kids from MMB performed at the 2010 Family Recital.

I was especially proud of all my kids and spent the whole of yesterday thinking about them and feeling warm and fuzzy inside. I was so stunned to see each of my kids put 100% heart and effort into their performance. I have known all along that my kids are more than capable of putting on a good show, but stage fright can get the better of all of us (especially if it is their first time on stage - even I was nervous and almost forgot my lines when singing Somewhere Out There!). I asked each of the kids if they were scared when they left the stage and each one replied 'no' whilst wearing a smile on their face. The kids seemed to glow with their smiles, and I could see that they all truly enjoyed their experience of being centre stage. Hearing the parents' loud applause and cheers certainly was a proud moment for me, and for the kids too I think.

My kids in class carried a different sort of enthusiasm today. They were all more engaged than usual and some requested to rehearse their performance piece for the concert. I had to remind them that the recital had finished and that we would no longer be citing that particular poem. It was funny, 'cause they had been begging not to rehearse the poem for the past few weeks! My kids not only learnt about hard work, but had it put into practice and then experienced the results. They finally understood why we worked so hard over the past 2 months - work hard, deliver the goods and you get great big grins, cheers and claps!

My kids' new love for performing was so clear to see today, and I am so grateful that I was the one who was able to lead them towards the experience they had yesterday. They are absolute stars and I am convinced that they will be stars forever.

HAPPY NEW YEAR to all my beloved students and colleagues. Time flies. I joined My Musikbox last year and it's been quite a while already. I am so happy to be having such a good time with you all. My MusikBox shares the same values as me on children's music education. Kids should learn music in a fun and interactive way and I believe that our students experience that during the lessons here. To share my joy with you, I have some funny photos for you to see! Enjoy :)

Don't Chun Yiu, Angelica and Joshua look pleased with themselves? :)

Sister Surprise

The saying is true...'time flies when you're having fun'.

2 years at MMB have certainly flown by and during my time here I have been lucky to be able to teach a loyal bunch of kids and then their younger brothers and sisters!

Kristen (R) is currently attending my FSII and older sister Kirsten once attended my FSII also!

Kirsten gave me a welcome surprise today by popping back to say 'hi'! I think she was as pleased as I was about her visit. Look at the grin on her face!

You can't push Kyle around!

This is Kyle, from my Fri FS1 class (3:15pm). Don't be fooled by his sweet and innocent look...he's a strong kid who loves nothing more than to push the animals around!

Father's Day Concert

After months of preparation, the MMB Father's Day Concert finally took place yesterday and it was clear to see that everyone who participated put in a lot of hard work.

Everyone in the hall was a proud parent, auntie, uncle, grandparent and teacher. It was clear to see that everyone enjoyed themselves with the big beaming smiles across their faces. For many of the kids, it was the first time on stage but you would never have been able to tell as the kids entered the stage and performed their show with confidence.

Everyone is eager to see videos and photos from the day. These will be available to all at MMB shortly.

Thank you once again for everyone's contributions. The concert could not have happened with your help.

The last MP...

My eventful and entertaining Tuesdays came to an end yesterday as my character-packed MusikPiano class had their last class and final performance :o( The last class wasn't all fun and games, but actually full of hard work as I prepared for them a 'monster' test (in the words of Alec and Connor!). Their incentive to do well came in the form of stamps!

1. Studying for the 'monster' test 2. Chloe's team prepares her for the test.

The test wasn't easy, especially as they had to do it all with absolutely NO HELP! They tried their best (and that's why they ended up with stamps all over their arms, legs and tummy!) but of course they still asked for answers whenever they were stuck :oP

Connor -asking Auntie for the answers!

I promised the kids that for their final performance, I'd let them play on the BIG teacher's keyboard as a treat. It definately worked a treat as each of them played two solo pieces (as I requested) and each of them did it with no guidance! They came well prepared and it was good to see that some of them actually practiced at home (not mentioning any names!) Chloe glammed up for her performance, wearing a lovely summer dress with matching jewelry. Her outfit didn't go unnoticed as Alec said "why is Chloe wearing clothes that show her armpits!" :oD

Connor, Hin Hin. Alec and Chloe

The kids in the class have been with me for approx.9 months and they've given me so many laughs along the way. In the first class, they showed me that they could roar like a fierce lion whilst I prepped their little hands to form the correct hand posture, and very recently they tried to talk like an italian whilst trying to pronounce pianossimo and fortissimo!

I will miss this class so much - but the kids have to grow up sometime. It's been great that they did part of their growing up with me.

We finished with a group hug - I'll miss you guys!
