I'm adult now. I start with jmc course when I can't even talk well. Its very good to me, it make music a second nature to me.

What children learn in jmc can't be taught if they start grade 1 Abrsm like age8. Because JMC teaches music like ABC to kids.

You can pm me if anything

The solfege teaching when they are small kids is something they will learn that an adult student will find hard to learn when they are older.

Which is music hearing, or pitching. Anyway, I find jmc courses good from personal experience.

And I'm not a teacher lol, working adult now rofl

Hi ts, I would recommend parents to sit in and sing along with ur kids. It will encourage them to complete the course

Hi,
Plan to roll out JMC for my kids, if my kids can sustain for the 3-6 months maybe plan to buy a beginner piano for her. Digital or acoustic piano ? How much is that ?

TIA

You don't need get electone or digital piano or acoustic piano.

Heck a rm700 keyboard is sufficient, or go buy secondhand keyboard from garage sales/secondhand fb groups for few hundred bucks.

Cheap keyboard are light on touch, for ur children to wack. And the way they wack, they going to spoil it eventually.

Why not digital piano or acoustic piano, the keys are too hard. And children lose interest fast or change interest [not their fault], so dun invest until u are sure they are continuing with the piano education later on.( imagine you spend 5k on piano only go hv ur kids say no interest, can buy motor d)

Edit: finished JMC when I was a kid. So I know what I saying lol

Thanks a lot bro, your input really change my mind. At 1st i only thought of getting cheap piano, but now i got extra choices "keyboard". It is true, for now their age is to whack instead of playing haha... Any keyboard recommendation max RM1K or RM1K below ? As long can play & practice, hook up to PC or ipad or AVR haha... Any features within this budget ? Not going to buy now, most probably after 3 - 6 months. Thanks a lot  cool2.gif

Yes, they probably gonna press every button on the keyboard and slam theirs hands on it. So its part of the fun.
Yamaha makes a lot of cheap keyboard. I would recommend getting a secondhand, a simple search on jamtank fb group and lowyat Musical instrument garage sales shows ppl selling secondhand keyboard for rm500-700.

Its good enough for keyboard to last u few years until they are really serious in going into piano(Abrsm grade), then u may consider getting a secondhand electric piano/acoustic piano. I stress secondhand cause there are abundant in the market with desperate ppl willing to let go cheap, as first hand is very expensive. As long the keys make sound, is fine. Next, parent has no idea how to pick a piano, and is the kids who are playing. So only get a good one once they are older and are able to pick themselves .

A keyboard that can connect PC iPad etc is probably a synthesizer and cost up to few thousands and are probably for professional musicians. A normal keyboard will at best have a midi out.

Thanks for your advice. What you said is truth as well. If no practice might lose interest... Might as well invest together since already make the decision to enroll.
