Hope y'all enjoyed the games day yesterday.
Anyway, here's the information of purchasing of guitars (its exactly the same as the paper given out to you).
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear parent / student,
I’m Terence Choo, music director for guitar ensembles. Here is a short note for those who plan to own a guitar. Please feel free to shop around on your own as well if you have other brands in mind, Owning a guitar is strongly recommended but it is not a must.
Why own a guitar?
To learn an instrument, it is essential that the student has access to the instrument on a daily basis to enable regular practice and skill development. The guitar is one of the most popular and affordable instruments to own. It costs much less that of many other instruments such as the piano and violin. Students who own a guitar a practice regularly tend to achieve success in their playing and learn the required skills more quickly than those who have limited access to the guitar.
Owning a guitar is strongly recommended. The following is the price list for the available packages.
TGM C 15 package (budget model) $192
J & D C 16 package (budget model) $242
J & D C 36 package (recommended model) $287
J & D C 46 package (recommended model) $307
Almansa 402 package (Spanish guitar) $637
All packages come with a soft case and is fully equipped with all necessary guitar accessories;
1) Digital tuner, guitar support, 1 set of strings, cleaning cloth & music stand
The digital metronome is also an essential item but it is currently out of stock. The typical price ranges $20-$38 for a digital metronome. I have been obtaining guitars and supplies from Sports & Music Theme for myself and my students as they have very good after sales service and offer products that are value for money.
Order and payment procedure
Your order will be confirmed only upon receipt of payment of either cash or cheque on
25 Feb 2011. Cheques can be made payable to SPORTS & MUSIC THEME. You payment will go directly to the supplier. I will contact the supplier and coordinate for a delivery to the school at the nearest possible lesson.
