hello band! :D
1) I am here to remind you all that your Solo Concert is 10 days away! Therefore, everyone please pull up your socks to practice and put on your very best on that day! I don't want to see any sloppy playing because you're either too lazy to practice or you havent decided on your song. This is not the attitude i expect from you all. And Seniors, you all should be the role models for your sec1s by motivating them to practice harder for their pieces so they will be on their best that day. For that, I will randomly pick someone to play their pieces for me to comment. Jiayou everyone, and i do expect your top form 10 days away! (:

2) Recently, i know many of you all have to come back for sectionals on either monday/thursday for your auditions. However, if your parents disallow you, please feel free to approach me as you would be given a consent form for your parents to acknowledge. SLs, please take note of this point!

3) For most of you, your auditions have already ended. However, some havent been auditioned yet. For those who think that you have failed the audition, i dont want you to take this so lightly. It just shows that you are not putting in any effort and is a signal to you to practice even harder from now onwards. Therefore, for sec1s and seniors, please start working on your techniques! 


It can be any exercises from the I recommend, it doesnt matter. In addition, i want to pose a challenge to you all to complete the whole book of I recommend! Dont just stick to the 4 major scales! Open yourselves to new challenges, think and plan ahead. Other than that, wont you feel the sense of accomplishment when you managed to play something new? Enough of saying, so i hope you all will think about what i said, and transfered it to action!

4) Lastly, please bring your NOTEBOOKS with PENCILS with you for every practice! I know recently, i havent been emphasizing this. But i realised everyone have been forgetting your mistakes practice after practice. Therefore, please take down the notes on the parts you are unable to play. You will be amazed after a few months that what that few sentences you have wrote every practice have become a page full. Moreover, the few notes can be a great help in your playing. After the practice, revise and you will not make the same mistake again. Its similar to studying techniques! From this friday onwards, i expect everyone to have their NOTEBOOK and PENCILS. Those without, will be punished. 


5) Lastly lastly, please practice your instruments home! A 30 mins would really be good. Please make fully use of it since you all have brought home your instrus! Sec1s please practice on your breathing at home! Seniors, your articulations and dynamics! Thats all. Goodnight World! 


Ending off, 
The road to success is lined with many tempting parking spaces. 


PS: Happy Teachers Day! :D
