School holi tat is not a HOLI

Why??? Officially, holi starts on the 1st but then, next mon - tue still need to go to school with all the additional masterclasses to attend ... sickening school.
Pay me back my holi fee then.... make me go back to school.

Today attended a masterclass by Prof Lee Kum Sing, first masterclass with rather good attendance, alot of public ppl sat in. Alot of teachers (school and private) came to see the masterclass. Why? cos this master is a prestigious pianist in singapore but now staying overseas. He is rather old alreadi but still energetic when he taught.
Initially, planned to do some own reading during the masterclass but was caught by his charisma when he played the piano and the way he taught.

I heard from classmate that he is our teachers' teacher before he left for overseas perf and teachings.

He applied from martial arts - kung fu, qi kung into playing of piano. He used a pencil's eraser to poke the piano and yet produce melodious legato to explain finger legato. There's wow wow sound when he did tat.
The students tone change and sounded nicer just after he taught them, he is just so effective.
Oh, his right hand little finger is paralysed yet, he still played all the thick chords better than anyone in school.
The way he teach sounded like my PS teacher. Wonder is she was his student before??

Err.. got to prepare my piece for the next group lesson with another master - singapore prestigious pianist Dennis LEe.... stress... I'm not prepare yet but heard that he is a super nice guy.
