Third year of piano lessons, with Sylvia Ng (recap)

When we moved to Singapore in Feb 2017, because of the language barrier, Ibu found Mentari a piano teacher who can speak Indonesian. So, she started learning from Sylvia Ng from April 2017 to July 2017). It was a "group" lesson, a few students at the same time but in different piano. Ibu didn't think that it was quite effective or worked well, however, it was a good transition for Mentari to focus on sight reading more. Sylvia was continuing the Russian red book, working on the pieces that Mentari skipped before with Elena. Mentari was learning under Sylvia until July 2017, before moving to Polina Chmil.

During this time, Mentari did a few performances at the Sunday piano meetup organized by thepiano.sg.

Some performances:
