I got my piano grade certificate on saturday.
Congrats to me! Free from piano classes forever.
Thinking back, I had been learning piano for around 8 years.
Through these years, i had 3 piano teachers.
The first teacher where I started of with my piano basics is with --Mrs.Lee
Most of my piano days were taught by her.
She's not a very strict teacher so that is why my foundation is not good.
I'm not going to comment much on her since I think most of it will be not-so-positive comments.;)
Then for certain reasons which I forgot I stopped having lessons with this teacher.
Yea, so then after this teacher, I have piano classes with Adrene.
She's a good teacher I must say. Due to transport problem, I had my lessons at her place. Sometimes she have to rush back from another student's place to teach me because she mostly teach at the student's place.I'm the special case.Everytime after lessons and while i'm waiting for my mum, Adrene's mum will always belanja me stuff to eat.teehee..can get to have nice nice stuff after lessons. I thought I'll be taught by Adrene after that but who knows....one day she told me she can't teach me anymore because she'll be serving in some kind of ministry..I was quite dissapointed, cannot be taught by her anymore.Anyway, she just got married in march, very happy for her.
Adrene introduced this teacher to me--Dorothy.
She's also a dedicated teacher.Yea I know my piano skills sucks la but still she teaches me patiently.Always encouraging me and all. After grade 5 i NEVER took any exams until grade 8, a very huge leap.Within a year, she helped me to brush up all my practical and theory skills.And thanks to her I managed to pass both the grade 8 practical and theory.
So as a grade 8 graduate, I can say I cannot play all those Haydn, Chopin pieces..all those terror terror pieces..Many many people out there are more musically talented than me..Nevertheless, I'll treasure this small small talent of mine..
