not all yamaha teachers are good, but if u are lucky,u get some head teacher or something.

I study in a yamaha school, and base of my observation as a student for 13 yrs there, there is only like 1-4 good senior/experince teacher who are passionate and dedicated to teaching.

The rest are just young, new teachers.

And yes, they always pass biginners to new/young teachers unless u specailly request for the experince teacher.

But the problem is usually the experince teacher is reluctant to teach grd 1 and prefer to take grd 5 and above. and there is no garentee that u will get a slot with the good teacher as their time is pack and there is still a long line of ppl waiting to get tat specific teacher.

=D

I Take
Classical piano( Grade 8) rm180 1 hour
Yamaha something something course( Donno grd 5 was it??) rm180 1 hour(group)
Violin grade 4=( rm90 30 minute
Classical guitar( stopped many years) forgotten the fees

Mine is in Kedah branch, and yes, u cant compare the fees and duration, diffeersssssss

rm180 1 month XD
Not 720, lol, that's like college yuran liao

anyway,its kinda cheap in my place cause my place is not a big city but just a town =D

And regarding teachers, ask around ur friends who study there, they shuld know whose the head teacher and passionate teahcer/
I've been in my music school long enuf to tell u who passionate in teacher, who's good in teacher, and whose not.

But dont just ask 1, ask a few of them.

Getting a good teacher is important, as passion dies down, the teacher is important to motivate u back on track.
if u get a lousy teacher, heck, u wont last 6months as the class will be damn boring cause of the undedicated teacher.
