Natural desire of children

Children are guided to play so as to reach the goal
desired by nature, i.e., to serve their development.
~ Froebel (1782 – 1852)

Here is a four-year old student who has just started on the Montessori Math's "Short Bead stairs". A helpful 6 years old tells him where number nine is placed on the stairs.

What Parents Say . . .

The Montessori lessons have benefited Alethea due to the early exposure to phonics, vocabulary building and writing skills from a young age. She had very good training in Math too. She did challenging IQ puzzles, mental math exercises, and primary school level Math in Kindergarten. She frequently topped her class for English and Math Assessments in Primary One. She also won a school Math competition. Now in Primary Two, she continues to do well due to the strong foundation that was built in Montessori during those early years. Just last week on the first week of August, she had the highest score for English Composition test and her teacher circulated her essay to the whole class. Her teachers often praise her for her good attitude towards learning and have given her many leadership positions and enrichment opportunities in school.

For my second and third child, I wish for them to have the same kind of training and exposure. I like the scope and depth of work done in lessons. I strongly believe that building a good foundation and cultivating a love for learning is essential for them to do well academically in future. Thank you Bright Notes teachers for all your work and effort all these years! (Alethea has been with us for five years since she was three plus years old)

"I like your focus on techniques which aims to achieve not only precision but effects that the music is meant to bring about. You are very systematic in your approach, able to highlight steps and pointers in notebook and scores, breaking down difficult parts into simpler parts for student and parents to follow. I like the clear, detailed instructions on techniques. But sitting in, I am more aware of the expectations to guide her at home. I find the pace of the lesson good and student leaves with good input and specific areas of focus for home practice." Phoebe, daughter in MGS, Music Elective & Sophia Blackmore Class (School based Gifted Program).

"Our friend recommended you to us. There are not many teachers who are both good with young children, knowledgeable with the Suzuki method and children development and able to teach with results." piano teacher mother of three year old Cheryl.

"Before Bright Notes, Yu Xin was learning piano in a music school but the progress is slow and she did not enjoy piano at all. The teacher at Bright Notes spent alot of time in the first three months to correct her wrong technique. Within ten months, Yu Xin progress from preparatory course to Grade Three (Merit). Progressing in such fast pace has boost her self-esteem and she is looking forward to learn her Grade Five pieces. Teachers at Bright Notes are result-oriented and emphasized on correct techniques. This good habit acquired will save Yu Xin from re-learning the correct technique when she go to higher grade. It is very fortunate for Yu Xin to find such a committed teacher and someone who believes in her. Mrs Paw, mother of Yu Xin, 2011

Yu Xin writes, "My teacher a kind teacher. She gave me little presents when I do well. I like to go for piano lessons. She has helped me to pass my Grade Three exam with Merit. Yu Xin, 6 years old, 2011
