[zax]

thats quite a big amount the band has to fork out eh

 

[theliverevolution]

that discriminates against the older bands. I'm already 19 but can't go due to NS. if there's one next year i'll be left out

 

[kirk101!]

dude.. registration fees is monstrously high.
and the age limit there disappointing man

 

[matt-muser]

kinda cool. but 125 is really ex man

 

[shredrat]

very expensive.

 

[taufiq_rocker]

yerp..too expensive
and expecting that amount from that age??hmmm

 

[alfa]

wow!huge amout of money.even asianbeats late registration is just 50bucks =/

 

[Vera Koh]

Why it is expensive.

thats quite a big amount the band has to fork out eh

Hi zax and many others who think that it is expensive. Let me state down the reasons why.

1. The cost of inviting bands to perform and share experience.
2. You get to experience and visit studios in Singapore Polytechnic which is very updated in Singapore. Our studios cost millions of dollars.
3. You get jamming time!
4. We provide lunch and dinner!
5. And if you compare it to outside courses, it is comparatively cheap for what we offer. Just 4 times a week lessons (eg. vocal, piano, guitar), which accounts to 4 hours, cost more than 100 bucks.

Hope you guys understand why now. I have already tried to cost it as low as possible

There's no more discrimination!

This is more like a music camp which lets you learn for 4 days and experience a Talentime on the last day. Asianbeats don't teach you anything, it's just a normal competition.

 

[daryl]

sounds cool. the price is pretty ok.

my question is, who is going to teach?

 

[Vera Koh]

Well, the "teacher" also teach at Play By Ear music school
Faciltators are from Diploma in Music and Audio Technology course. So they are all adept at music!

So other than the "teacher", you have other music people around you to guide you along the way!

 

[mus]

Sounds good!. I want to go but I'll be going on holiday with my family .

Vera Koh, no discounts for SP students?

 

[Vera Koh]

Email me and we can negiotiate it! Are you from SP?

 

[mus]

PMed you!

 

[emochick]

and there just might be a surprise for all of you who signed up. hahha.

but seriously, this is a good deal!

 

[BobbyK.]

The registration is per band or per band members? if per band members, it'll be crazy sia. help me clear out on this. Thanks!

 

[weijin]

i think it means per band member.

which means if your band has 5 person, it would be 550 in total.

cause if one person is 120 bucks.
it would not be logical that a band is 110 dollars.

 

[Vera Koh]

yes you are right. It is per band member. It is not expensive considering the things offered in the camp
