Dear Antares
Thanks for your most encouraging comment, dear pal! Indeed, I believe the family that plays music together :-) stays together...
One day, we will all jam with you. And I hope it will be by the end of this year :-).
Take care and thanks for swinging by and for listening...My boys were quite horrified that I posted this LOL!!! And they insisted that I removed it from Facebook and NOT tag them at all LOL!!
Hugs

Yes, my son is a music major and he will be graduating soon.
My younger one is going to be 12 next month and he plays three instruments like the older bro...
For me, my first instrument is the guitar, then synthesiser and lastly the piano which I play by ear only cos I didn't have formal lessons.
Are you into music too?
Take care and do keep in touch.
Cheers

If your son intends to take up music after his SPM, he would need:
a) Grade 8 practical in at least one instrument
b) Minimum Grade 5 in music theory
c) Take a pre-U course such as SAM, HSC or A levels to enter a degree course
d) If he does not want to take pre-U, then he has to take a Foundation in Music course to have direct entry into a degree course.
There are many colleges/universities in KL that offer music and it really depends on whether he wants to do classical, contemporary,etc.
My advice would be for him to attend those college open days or other fairs that are held after SPM or before the results are released.
Music courses are very expensive and my husband and I have spent a large part of our savings on the boys' equipment but it is a worthwhile investment.
If you have the $$, let him go to US if he is into contemporary and to Europe if he is into classical. Sadly, we don't have the $$ so son has had to do it locally.
The most important thing is for our kids to be happy doing what they love. I wanted my son to be a lawyer or an accountant. He is a MENSA member but he loves music best and has the gift so...the rest is is history...
Take care. Here's wishing you and yours the very best that life can offer...
Blessings

Lovely to hear from you again. I knew I could get a lively response from you. So sorry I did not have pic of feline darlings...Will do one for you if your mama sends ur pics to me...and let me know what song you would like ok?
Take care and please accept my humble apologies for this late response.
Of all things, I injured my right arm so typing is quite painful and I am not one who can settle for one finger typing :-(.
Selamat berpuasa.
Salam
