Christina is a "modern" teacher compared to Mdm Tang

1stly,she helps me a lot.

-she finds and photostates the music sheets for me.

-she gives me her brilliant suggestion on which songs are suitable for me

(she said i should play more Romantic or 2oth Century musics!)

2ndly,she does homework.
-this is a bizarre point.does teacher have to do homework?

-not only students are required to do homework i.e. theory?

-certainly,i did my hw,which was simply highlight the Subject in Fugue,

and a New one,Prelude and Fugue programme notes

-for her,the homework are Listens to the music,Watches the video,and Teaches me the correct dynamic+style+mood+music background...

-before that,i dun even know what are exposition and development in Sonata!

WOW,she's magnificent!!!

3rdly,she goes to Youtube and searches the available musics

-then,she asks me to listen to the songs she picked and let me choose the nice ones

-besides that,she brings CD or pendrive for me to copy the songs in them

haha...so,laptop is a MUST in the lesson!

-while my assistant is Mr.Ng Xue Jie,

who always helps me to copy the songs
