Hello, I'm new to Hong Kong and am thrilled to find out this forum. I'm into my 5th month of pregnancy now.

I was invited by a few neighbours to form a prenatal music group at where I live. I enjoyed the first 2 lessons a lot - it's less physical than yoga and I can focus more on the connection with my baby. The teacher is a young girl, but seems very competent and experience.

The course only lasts for 4 weeks long and my friends will be traveling then. I asked the teacher, but she said she only give private classes upon requests and will be traveling in July, too. I've booked her for September, but she hasn't confirmed her availability.

I'd like to keep the class going, can anyone recommend me a place which offers good prenatal music program in Hong Kong? (preferably on the south side, or central)

Thanks a lot!
 
I'll hv the next class on Thursday and I shall ask the teacher for her contact! Hv you tried prenatal music classes somewhere else? I'd like to do some exploring around when this course finishes.
 
I had my prenatal music class yesterday, and I asked for the teacher's contact. She also gave me her blog, you can find her contact there. Her name is Monica. I told her some friends of mine is interested and she said you can call or email her to schedule a class.
 
Oops I just realized I didn't post the website:
prelude-hk.blogspot.com
she does mentioned a few times in class that we should read some articles from her blog, but I've been busy and it's too stressful if I hv myself doing homework for the class. So I hv't really looked at the blog. Hope you'll find it helpful anyway.
 
Hi chenschmitt, I would be very interested in joining your music group if you still have place. I am 15 weeks pregnant and live near Central.

Look forward to hearing from you. :)
 
Hey! Seems like we can make it a class! Since the teacher will be out of town till mid-august, I'm looking for other penatal music classes around. (any suggestions?)Anyhow, I've talked to the teacher about booking her for september already. Will u be comfortable hving lessons at my home? (which is on the South side) I'll try to organize it!
 
Hi chenscmitt
I am southside and did something similiar in Australia when I was pregnant with our daughter. I found it great. I would be interested in joining you when it's up and running.
Keep me posted.
Thanks
 
Hi Chenschmitt, I filled in the trial class form at the Prelude website last week and Monica called me this morning (she has a lovely voice!). She told me that the classes are full at the moment and she'll be on vacation till mid-august. I have reserved a spot for the september term (cycle 3), but I think it'd be nice if I can do something similar during the summer just to get started. Do you have any recommendation?
 
hi everyone, sounds interesting and would love to join as well. but since my edd is end of september it may be too late to join the september term? keep me posted if there's any class in the summer.

Oh, I must hv prssed the wrong button for the above post.
Anyway, I've hv booked Monica for september before posting this thread. I originally planned to hv the class at my home but I guess if we can make a class, I guess it's nice if we can meet somewhere near central? I'll ask Monica if she hv a studio near central where it's convenient for everyone.

Seems like prenatal music is not very popular in hk, I haven't seen any program other than prelude. Someone from this forum told me earlier that she can make some recommendation (I thought she ran her own class) but hvn't got back to me. She made a good point though, apparently, she knows Monica, too and she said she wouldn't trust someone who hasn't gone through pregnancy. Though I like Monica a lot (and hayleylaw you're right, her singing is beautiful!! I could listen to her sing all day!) and she seems to have the research to support what she's doing, she hasn't been a mom after all. It'd be nice of we can find someone who's as competent and experienced!! Let's keep looking around!

Btw, my husband wonders if there's any classes for fathers after the baby's born, haha! (his best friend from Boston just told him that he's going to a class with his newborn and my hubby is jealous!)
 
hi chenschmitt, thanks for the update... actually i fill in prelude's online form yesterday after reading your earlier post and got monica's reply today, saying she can also do private class in august, and have regular cirriculum in september... interesting that she actually sings to the moms-to-be & babies in the class?!?! actually this is the first time i hear of such classes also, but as i love music i thought it's good to give it a try... i think my baby really likes music and it moves around a lot whenever it's worship time at church!

and re your note on class for dads to be, my husband & i are attending the antenatal class at family zone right now, and they also provide baby basics class for new parents to be, which we may considering joining also as this is our first and we are not sure of what to expect... check out The Family Zone if u r interested.
 
Hi, 3 of us are planning to take prenatal music lessons (Monica's classes) in August-please let me know if anyone else would be interested in joining us.
 
hayleylaw, Monica will be back on Aug 7th so we can start classes from Aug 10th/ She said we could do it in a Yoga studio at Central or at someone's place. I guess a common place wud be convenient for everyone.
 
Hi gpjapan, I'm afraid I cannot join you because central is not the most convenient location for me. However, I was glad to find out that Monica's willing to travel to places other than HK island. I have also booked Moncia after she comes back with a few other friends. My classes will start on 12 Aug. I hope you look forward to the class as much as I do!
