Kindermusik

12th Jun 2011

A very good learning programme for introducing music to young child from the age of 0 to 7 is Kindermusik. There are a few centers in Klang Valley and the one in Section 19 Petaling Jaya, SIM (Selangor Institute of Music) is a credible center. The center has teachers with experience in conducting this programme. Our two kids graduated from SIM and I strongly recommend this programme to parents.

Innertalk

12th Jun 2011

If you believe in subconscious mind programming, Innertalk can be a good choice. There are a few titles suitable for young children including the following:

Using Both Halves Of The Brain

Genius Power

Creative Writing

Developing Compassion

I Can: Building A Child’s Esteem

Respect And Good Manners

The above are all our favorite ones.

The concept of subconscious mind programming is quite straight forward. The hidden positive messages embedded into the CDs are channeled into the right brain hemisphere during the subconscious state of the brain when the left brain hemisphere’s defense mechanism is not active as the left brain only hears background music from the CDs.

We have been using the above titles since many years ago and still constantly use them. In my opinion, I think they work, although I cannot prove it. If you are interested, my suggestion is to try out by starting with one or two titles. In Klang Valley, you can find these in most Popular book stores.

In my recent visit to the Australia-Malaysia Gifted Education Forum 2011, I had the opportunity to chat in person with Dr Louis Downs, Ph.D., Associate Professor, Counselor Education, California State University. I asked him whether he himself heard of and believe in subconscious mind programming. He said he doesn’t deny the effectiveness of this and believe they are credible. He said we can even make these CDs ourselves without buying one. Nevertheless, as professional, he will not promote or market the products himself.

这是音乐铁人刘明峰所演唱的2008年”哆啦A梦:大雄与绿巨人传”电影主题曲, “勇敢的翅膀”。 歌曲动听,歌词非常有意义。

冥冥中早已經註定了結果 原來笑與淚的交會是擁有
抬起頭望著天空 讓陽光圍繞你我

如果風能帶走我們的寂寞 找朵雲來捏造我們的美夢
舉起手別再停留 一起勇敢往前走

不管多少困難 前方路多黑暗 乘著風在天空中翱翔

張開你勇敢的翅膀 不准回頭望
手牽手我會帶著你 飛越廣闊海洋
飛翔 飛翔 飛向屬於我們的夢想 實現願望

祈禱世界能一起快樂的微笑 無憂無慮的分享擁抱的力量
牽著手一起出航 前往未來的希望
相信有種光亮 永恆的光芒 閃耀著不滅的堅強

張開你勇敢的翅膀 不准回頭望
手牽手我會陪著你 全世界看夕陽
飛翔 飛翔 飛向整個世界的夢想 實現願望

一步步勇敢面對 生命中的不可能 你的陪伴讓我勇敢的飛向有夢的方向

張開你勇敢的翅膀 不准回頭望
手牽手我會帶著你 一起穿越時光
飛翔 飛翔 飛向屬於我們的未來 署光

張開你勇敢的翅膀 不准回頭望
手牽手我們一起闖 團結就是力量
飛翔 飛翔 飛向屬於我們的夢想 實現所有願望

近来无意中有机会听了音乐铁人刘明峰的歌,觉得很多首都很动听,所以决定在这里推介给大家。

我是如何认识刘明峰的呢?其实是在一个很偶然的机会下认识的。那天刚好陪孩子们观赏了今年2010年版的小叮当电影"大雄的人鱼大海战",片尾就播放了台湾版的中文主題曲"就这样吧",由刘明峰演唱。这首歌不但歌曲动听,歌词也很有意思!

中文版主题曲"就这样吧"是由树德科技大学表演艺术系的庄景云老师带领旗下学生一起同心协力制作,收录在中文版电影的片尾。

回憶走過的每一天  刻劃著時間最美的時候

有你的笑容陪伴著  我一個人也不寂寞

世界的兩端作同一個夢  持續著我們約定的承諾

期待重逢能牽著手  穿越那美麗的時空

別害怕  我會陪伴著你  找尋那世界每個幸福的入口

面對困難準備好出發  手牽手飛吧

(那)就這樣吧  就這樣吧  一起向未來出發(就這樣吧)

找尋期待的想像  (就)勇敢追夢吧  努力吧

就這樣吧  就這樣吧  我們會很不一樣

飛向那世界的盡頭  找我們的信仰
(找幸福的地方)

回憶擁抱的每一天  刻劃著彼此最美的時刻

有你的手心溫暖著  我永遠也不會寂寞

世界的兩端永恆的美夢  閃耀著我們不滅的承諾

只要肩並肩一起走  穿越那浩瀚的星空

別害怕  我會陪伴著你  找尋這世界幸福的入口

面對困難準備好出發  手牽手飛吧

不管前方多難以想像  遍體鱗傷也要勇敢前往

只要握緊彼此的手  多少困難都會渡過

儘管時間剩下一秒鐘  也一定盡全力不會放手

等待雨過天晴之後  擁抱的感動

Malaysian Philharmonic Orchestra

11th Apr 2011

If you are living in Klang Valley, and especially if your kids are learning any musical instruments, it is a good exposure to bring them to experience an orchestra performance once in a while, at the Malaysian Philharmonic Orchestra, located at Twin Tower KLCC.

Try the family fun day event which is in general 6 weekends on a yearly basis. This is more targeted at the young children and they can come in smart casual rather than proper attire, and the event is full of fun with children laughter and excitement! We have been to the MPO a couple of times and the kids do enjoy this very much.
