Holi-MiZ 3: Guitar Courses, Anyone?

Woke up in the morning as usual to had my breakfast with my family. This time, my sister joined in for the breakfast with us. Usually, she would be either still sleeping, or outside somewhere. Again, we had American breakfast, but it was at Café Cartel instead. Had pancakes for breakfast. Well, the meals at Café Cartel are usually quite large. Always feel very full after finishing the meal there.

After that, I continued playing with my Gameboy at home to complete my mission in "The Urbz" and start a new game of Pokémon Emerald and played for a short while. Then, I switched on my laptop and open my MSN.

While on MSN, my friend Kavan asked me about the guitar courses in Yamaha Music School. As I always go to Yamaha Music School for my violin lessons, he asked me to check out the fees and the class schedules if I am going there.

Early in the afternoon, I went out with my sister to have lunch at BakerzIn in Paragon (no, i don't go there to eat very often). Not really sure what's good in the menu, so I decided to eat what my sister had ordered for herself as well.

After lunch, I decided to help Kavan to check the guitar courses in Yamaha Music School at Plaza Singapura. They have Yamaha Classical Guitar course for those intending to focus on technical aspects and studies on Classical Guitar at Yamaha Music School, and also the Acoustic Steel Guitar Course for those intending to do pop, blues, jazz, heavy metal music. Didn't really check the class schedules, as he might be starting the class quite late this year.

After that, I went to Cristofori School of Fine Arts at Junction 8 to check out for the Classical Guitar Course. Well, for this case, there are scales and aural skills in addition to technical aspects.

Ok, the fees for the beginners course are as follows:

Acoustic Steel Guitar Course

• Group: $126.00 for 2 months ($63.00 per month)
  
• Individual: $168.00 for 2 months ($84.00 per month)

Yamaha Classical Guitar Course

• Group: $47.25 per month
  
• Individual: $63.00 per month

Cristofori Classical Guitar Course

• Individual: $173.25 for 3 months ($57.75 per month)

The registration fee for all is $21.00. Anyway, the Yamaha Classical Guitar Course leads to the Yamaha Graded Examinations and the Cristofori Classical Guitar Course leads to the ABRSM Graded Examinations. There is no examinations for the Acoustic Steel Guitar Course.

After that, I went home and use the MSN to discuss with Kavan about the Guitar courses. Well, he asked me whether he should take up the acoustic guitar course, or the classical guitar. Considering the fact that he is using the classical guitar, the fact that the techniques taught for classical guitar is harder to pick up by himself without any teacher, and also the fact that SJ always angered me with all the acoustic guitar thing and the jazz/pop/ music and improvisation, I told him to take up the Classical Guitar course.

MiZ Speaks
Ok, I just started playing Pokémon Emerald today. Pick up a Mudkip as my starter (as I like water Pokémons). Haven't progress much today as I'm always on MSN chatting with Kavan today.

Well, there are some people that may needs help in HTML. Well, if I'm free, I will try to post some basic HTML coding on this blog. The coding might seems complicated, but the basics of HTML are actually easy to learn and master.
