My fd just told me that her kid in St. Stephen (Stanley) can take instrument class at school, and in fact all P.1 studnets have the chance...it just make me think that how come we pay so much school f ...
Hi CSW,
Apart from the musical instrument classes, there are lots of other activities that SPCCPS offers and other schools don't... there is no need to feel disappointed just because our kids could not get into one of those instrument classes... There will be plenty of alternatives for them to learn and participate, all of which are just as worthwhile as learning an instruments... and no kids will not be left out...
There are good reasons that the school is unable to offer instrument lessons to all students... obviously there is the resource constraint... there are 150 kids in P1 and just about every parent would want their kids to participate in an instrument class... but there are only a few teachers who teach these instruments... so the seats are bound to be limited and they would need to pick students with better potentials... i heard that if a student has already started learning to play the instrument prior to coming to P1 then there will be a greater chance for him/her to get in... i can't be 100% sure if that is really the case though...
i think the teachers also look at the kids' physical ability to determine whether they are suitable to start learning the instrument at P1... for instance my daughter told me that the oboe/clarinet teachers checked out their hands during the introductory session... and apparently my daughter's hands are too tiny to play neither of the instruments... so at the end she did not get picked... i spoke with the class teacher and she said if the student is really interested in the instrument than by all means take lessons outside of the school... which is what we will do... my daughter is very interested in woodwind instruments and since her hands are small, we may take her to learn the flute later this year...
IMHO, we have to remember that music is for appreciation... let's not force the kids to learn an instrument just because everyone else is doing so...
God bless! :) |
