祝大家新年快樂，心想事成！最緊要身體健康，小朋友學業進步, 乖乖練琴!

前日同細女上咗第一堂. 救命! 揸弓揸唔到, 夾琴又夾唔好. 莫講要成功將弓放在琴上拉. 看來咁細個學我要付出10倍的耐性同10倍的精神. 至於阿女呢....佢每日肯練10分鐘已經好感謝........

judy,

妳阿仔幾大? 我細女剛4歲....

阿仔細個都好有"興趣"，我同阿ニ練時，佢通常都探頭探腦走過來。捉住佢坐唔定一陣，佢就会去搶阿ニ弓，或作出"評論"。我終於中計，上個月俾佢学，之後，佢謝咗，我都謝埋。

我都唔明邊個發明小提琴嘅。如中國ニ胡咁拉埋易好多。 ...

I'm not sure about whether Yip's would allow their students taking private lessons from other teachers.  I just know some of the students will hire young violin tutors from outside as 陪練. but they take private lessons with Yip's teacher at the same time.

I think different teachers may have different policy. So it's better to ask the center staff.

Hi 各位,

My daughter has been learning violin for 1.5 years, but since the 1st teacher was not good, she wasted one year time.  

My daughter is now P2, she joined her school's orchestra since last  ...

wootaitai,

There's a girl in my daughter's violin class. She was in APA pre junior previously.  Her mom told me she got in APA when she learnt violin for a only few months!(but she's really talented).  
She quited APA because her mom thought the teacher assigned to her daughter is not good enough(She didn't tell me who is the teacher).

I think the problem is you cannot choose teacher in APA.(But most of them are very very good teachers)

請問apa 有幾難入
plan to apply Pre junior music - it says grade 2 - 3 equivalent - 多數人是否超班？

另外如果apply beginner course - 學過可以嗎？

我女6歲, 想試下學. 屋企有個唔知幾多分之一的琴. 好好笑, 連幾多分之一都唔知就上網同人用$100買左個2手小提琴番黎 (2年前買), 最好笑係到而家我都仲未知個琴係幾多分之一, 總之唔係4/4!
請問有無上門老師介紹? 我 ...

10蚊店1pack有3塊(薄果種), 用條橡筋"ku"住就得喇. 平靚正!  如頸不是太長, 肩托可免則免.

另我發現好多大陸琴係跟錯弓. 同樣係1/4 size, 支弓係唔同長度ga!

換也好!起碼放心。
如無琴托,有否加一塊海綿作琴托。(琴要貼頸)

Hi wootaitai,

Did you changed the strings?

My younger daughter's 1/10 china machine made cheap violin sound much much better after changing the strings.

glad to see this thread again.

my girl's 1/8 violin sounds awful (someone gave that to us) recently.

I am struggling whether to buy a better one for her APA audition/ competition coming in May. Plu ...

beetle

Wow! I didn't know it costs so much to fix a bridge!

Which string have the strange sound? E string?

My friend's son changed the whole set of strings to Evah Pirazzi for the competition.

My daughter only changed the E string to Gold E , other strings still use dominant for the competition.

All the best for your daughter for the audition. Hope to hear good news from you soon!

原帖由 wootaitai 於 10-4-19 13:03 發表
already using dominant strings la.. next time I will upgrade to Tonica!

I suspect the bridge is too low because for some notes played there will be a strange sound - when I look closely the string is ...

原來係咁......朋友個仔已經係3/4, 套線都幾貴下. 佢個老師專登同佢換來for 校際比賽. 我朋友話d聲超正...

如果個琴得八分一/四分一,換左oliv都無乜幫助,用返原本既都好好囉

如果整bridge,我有間唔駛放低,你打去問下佢,幾時可幾幫你即時做,你照時間去就得啦.....


同埋細琴個'湖'度係無咁高,所以會成日'high'線,同阿仔 ...

For the gold E string, I don't know which brand as I couldn't see the packing when my daughter's teacher change the string. I just know it's gold colour......

日本人真犀利, 連弓都加個kitty. 仲要係coda弓. 不過真係好靚!

要69800 yen!

如果係 6980 yen, 我會送比個女做生日禮物。 69800yen, too expensive!!

69800yen拎番樂團, 肯定係全場焦點啦!

真係好靚,唔知拎唔拎得返樂團呢?

I remembered a video showing the daily life of child prodigies in Korea..... They wake up every morning at 5:30 and start practising right away before having their breakfast. The whole day is practising, practising and practising.....
Under this kind of training, no wonder there're so many child prodigies in Korea.

琴譜上應該有弓法指示, 有個蓋的符號係落弓, V 係上弓.

其實我女兒講出來的時候, 我也不是太明白. 大意是拉每一首歌時, 當支弓第一下拉琴時的方向, 3位舊老師都教她將支弓由下拉起, 而新老師反而教是由上拉起. 我自己不懂音樂, 聽出來無什麼分別, 但女兒說是有分別, 佢亦 ...
