Schedule Reminders:

Dr Ng will be visiting Malaysia from March 23- April 12. So no classes from 3/22/24-4/14/24.  Classes and lessons resume on 4/15/24.  


Question on theory class attendance:  how many theory classes do I need to take per month?

Answer: All new students from August, 2023 are to take 3 classes per month except for those who have passed at least one test and done well in their ear-training/aural section of the test. They can request to drop to one or two theory class(es) per month, thus saving music fees.  Students before Aug., 2023, were only required to take 1 theory class per month but are encouraged to take 2-3 theory classes to improve their sight-singing, perfect pitch, musicianship….

3/4/24, Monday Theory: Violet E, Emma C, Lilly B, Kristen A (Letty S, Julian & Jacob V—wanted to join ROL but Dr Ng forgot); Rhythmic Syllables, Intervals, Completing 4-bar rhythms,
