Didn't know musicians in singapore are connected through here, until now.. Proves that I don't communicate much eh. Ps, seriously I got v little friends who play music, so deprived of the music environment and stuff. Music lab is a great school, no doubt, no question. Well, as alvin said, instructors and students have to work together. A clap takes two hands. I will jia you for the time I waste for other things and not for practising. Rock on Music Lab!!
