MUSIC
This post is specially "written" for Sec 2s.
I can see improvement in you but some of you don't treat this serious enough. Some of you are still hiding behind seniors but think, you can't hide behind us forever. You must learn, practice and your skills must surpass us so that you can bring our juniors, as well as the band, to a higher level :D
Not I wanna poke on some of you. 1 year in the band already, must learn how to COUNT properly. When your fingers rush through semiquavers, relax yourself and install Mr Nikko into you head permanently.
Don't play blindly, work out your tone especially you're using Yamaha clarinets.
Like Hui Xian always emphasised on:
Figure 2: Phrase it. Don't accent or emphasise on first notes of each bar.
Semiquavers before figure 9: Everyone don't give up on the running notes! :D I know you run out of breath but must play!
Figure 9: Phrase the quavers, don't play like a thousand needles are poking the audiences on SYF day!
And watch your intonation on the quavers, few bars before 17.
Jia you everyone! Throw away all your time spent on computer games (or whatever) for the time being all the way till after Arts Fiesta! :D Good luck for upcoming CA2 :D (Anyone studied yet? LOL)
