MUSIKGARTEN helps Children with Special Needs This article appeared in the Malaysian Women's Weekly Magazine, November 2003:
Mr Ho Chee Wee, father of Ho Wai Kin, 16, says "I first sent Wai Kin for Music Classes (MUSIKGARTEN) in Bangsar when he was 5 years old just so that he would have something to do apart from playing all day. He's 16 now and the development he has made has been amazing! As a child with Down Syndrome, I was surprised to find that music helped him overcome his disability and made him more independent. "He started off not even knowing how to speak or socialise with other children. Now he not only has friends, he has even gained the respect of many people after being selected to play in the school orchestra. Music not only honed his musical capabilities but also helped in his brain development. The positive changes in him convinced me that music really can do wonders to a child's developmental progress. I have also sent my daughter to the same MUSIKGARTEN Classes. Click here to watch the video recording of the testimonial and also watch Wai Kin playing the violin. End of page |
