hello all. today's the first day of our saturday practices. we're exactly 20 days left to SYF! i'm not gonna say the same old reminders cos you guys should know all of them at your fingertips by now, e.g. using the METRONOME and TUNER.
as a result of today's practice, ms ku went through the score with us and she's marked out specific passages to be practiced with the METRONOME, for the different instruments. she also made a bit of changes to the shaping to bring out some parts which are often inaudible. i believe all of you have it marked out on your scores already. so practice what's indicated if not you'll be defeating all ms ku's intended purposes!!
next up is something that i feel we may have started to neglect after all that hoo-ha over practising with the metronome. and that is sitting up straight and only allowing half of the chair to be occupied by your butts!! ok that may have come across as a little crude, but yeah, you get my point. esp for those of you whom i kept calling out during today's violin 1 sectionals, meaning rodion and ziruo! even when you practise at home rmb to keep that straight posture so as to cultivate the correct posture. ok!! if not i'll put a whiteboard duster taped to the back of your seats. hyuk, hyuk. : D no leaning on the chair seats, ok!
and some food for thought. ms ku pointed out that the violin 1s at our nice melody in B 5-12, we could sound more SEDUCTIVE. afterall, the title of this work is indeed, ROMANZE! alright. so you guys might wanna bring up the mood of this piece by perhaps playing it more expressively and passionately at appropriate places.
also, at places like B 36-37, and the 4 quaver notes in B 46, the tempo will be stretched and slightly held back so as to achieve a greater climax in the passage that follows. so you have 2 options now.
1) LOOK AT MS KU! that's the essence of having a conductor right.
2) look at me? haha.
so ya. look up from the floors ya. there's nth there worth looking at. haha!
ok i hope all this has helped in your practice for this weekend. take the initiative to sort these details out before the next practice where you can approach your SLs should you need any help. yayy. GO SE WHOO!
zaraaa. >:D
