Yamaha JMC Fundamental Skills Survey


13-12-2009 (Sunday) is another milestone in Isaac's growing journey. He has his first music exam at Yamaha Kelana Jaya (HQ). This Yamaha Grade Examination is called Junior Music Course Foundamental Skills Survey. They will test candidate's listening, singing, playing, reading and creating ability. They evaluate using three sizes of star - big, medium and small.

Big Star : You have shown excellent achievement in the two years.
Medium Star : You have shown solid achievement in the two years.
Small Star : You have shown achievement in the two years.


Candidate has to prepare a song to sing, two repertoire to play from JMC books. Isaac chosen to sing 'Lullaby of Stars', repertoire 'Falling Leaves' and 'Lavendar Blue'.

After four months waiting, finally we got the comment sheet and certificate. Isaac was excited and nervous when I told him result was out. We arrived music center slightly early than usual today, but the assistant told us result was with the teacher.
