Im so proud of US !
SYF and SPEECH DAY was awesome .
I hope we have gained and learnt something from the past few years .
WE , the clarinetist , have bonded .
And we will really miss the graduating seniors .
Wensi , Hidayah and Shining .
ChingYing , Eliz , Shifana and Melanie will totally miss you 3 .

Even if the 3 of them are stepping down , doesnt mean we have to give up hope .
We will still do our best to make them proud .

To Wensi , Shining and Hidayah :
Thank you for all the knowledge you have passed down to us .
We promise that we will use them properly .
We will remember all the fun we had .
We will welcome you back no matter what .
You are still one of us .

Hello there, sweet earthlings.
This blog had been dead for quite sometime, huh?

SYF: 21 days away
FIRST Toa Payoh Secondary School Concert Band
FIRST day, FIRST band.
30th March 2009, 8.25 am.

Order of Appearance, click here!

Aren't our band 'lucky'? But then, don't lose hope. This is the great chance for us to set a level of our choice since the judges have not hear any band playing before us. So, we need to practice hard and set a high level. OK? We can't afford to forget what Ms Loh had taught us and went through with us. The most important thing, we need to get IN TUNE all the time. To achieve that, we need to bond with each other and that will not be any problem, right? So now, we're left to practice hard and perfect our own playings. Perfect it till we're able to play it without stopping yeah.

JIA YOU! WE CAN, WE WILL..

Till here, LOVE,
Hidayah ♥

2009-02-14T21:12:00.001+08:00

Happy Valentine's day!

Remember to have a date with your own clarinet.
Clarinet will be very lonely if you didn't bother about them.

2008-12-25T13:19:00.003+08:00

2008-09-14T18:26:00.003+08:00

Well done Shifana!
Hope from this you learn something?
Side reading fast, figure out notes/rhythm fast and also to play together, different methods to make the music sound nice(loud, soft), etc.

As Ms Loh said she gonna do this week, playing solo(s), duet(s), or by sections.
Next will be Elizabeth!

Be prepared :)

This Wednesday, 17 September, will be the last day of band practice before end of year exams start. Of course, have to bring back home instruments to practice too. Don't make your 'darling' clarinet rusty.

Practice hard.
Study hard too!

We can have fun at the right time,

going now, is very very slow.

so,

work hard WORK HARD!

practice make perfect! nothing is impossible.
the more you practice, the more good in playing and you will be able to play nice music like the seniors and enjoy the music.

for our seniors, thanks for coming back and help out for e concert. and a BIG-BIG sorry if we did disappoint you all whether its intentional or unintentional. i hope you all forgive our mistakes.

LASTLY, we all need to improve our section's potential on playing to be a better clarinet section. YAY! wow, since when am i so convincing like this? nevermind, because im looking forward to it. and make e conductors, teachers, alumni and band proud of what we improved in e future. and-and we need to show good examples for our next sec one batch. (hope we will get some)

Clarinetists (:

2 more days to concert. And after this concert, It would be the last time Yi Zhen, William and I will be seeing all of you. So don't disappoint us, put up a good show. Remember to move fast during the changing of pieces, when to bring up and rest yr instruments, the proper way to sit. And for Hawaii five O, do the actions well and i'm sure we'll look good. If you're unsure, look at mefline as a role model. hahas. And It's been great working with all of you.

Please rest well and drink lots of water.

esp sectionals. yea now i tink jus by seeing this word "sectional" u guys go ughhhhh

well.and it's all cos of TUNING. so frustrating right?
it wouldnt be if wayyy before this everyone bother to listen..

too late to say anythin already . now the onli thing u guys can do.. is to STOP playing whatever note when u guys are out of tune wif e person beside u and continue onwards during a piece..
but of cos u TRY to TUNE b4 giving up.

clarys..not much time le. 3 more days leh. one blink of an eye and POOF u are on stage.
yea. KEEP UP E SPIRIT. WHOOOOHOOOOOo

as mr lim say.. how much u practice = how much satisfaction u gona get.

we r still stuck at this stage where tuning is concern..

Dil Se is cuming nearer n nearer..

becoz u all dun listen?

we r alrdy short of tym n u r still making this silly mistake..

u guys shld knw hw sad n disappointed i m in de camp right?..

when will de days cum when u guys listen?

so pls..

take note of ur sound when tuning n playing pieces..

so de sectionals gt help u anything?

i bet no?

cos we took almost like 1 hr juz to get in tune for 1 note?

so PLEASE TAKE NOTE!!..

de movement for hawaii five o..

can u pls move happily..

i know some of u might think is a bit silly or lame..

but cant u juz sacrifice for de band or de section..

is not asking u to go kill ppl wat...

2007-12-11T19:27:00.000+08:00

hey dudes~ our dear SL had to go see doc cos of her eyes.. sooo here i am to tell u guys...

HOW TO PRACTICE.

today mr lim showed us this video. and this famours trumpeter Wynton taught us 12 methods on how u can practice.

the wynton method

1. seek help.

2. make a schedule-organise urself. [ it could be individual/sectional time ]

3. set goals to chart development [ eg.by this week..i wana finish learning etc.. ]

4. concentrate! [ put urself into the music.u wil realize u enjoy it ]

5. RELAX and practice slowly [ this helps when it comes to running notes ]

6. take time and practice the parts u are nt familiar with.

7. play EVERYTHING in maximum expression. [ regardless if it's long notes..u can still make it sound good ]

8. don't be too hard NOR easy on yourself. [ it isnt the end of the world if u make a mistake.learn from it. BUT dun get lazy too 8D ]

9. Don't show off yourself but show off your music.

10. think for yourself, find your own way. [ dun be a ROBOT..go and find ways to help urself improve ]

11. be optimistic (:

12. always look for connections to other things.

these are not the 12 methods.. but extra advice ;D

- tone in your identity; Personality in sound [ put urself into the music..ur personality etc..let music BE YOU ]

- audiate your sound before playing.

- get the TONE right first then u tune to whoever.

alrightys. that's it for now.

ohhh rmb guys. bring ur tuner/metronome EVERYDAY frm now on. starting.....TML!

ok ciao ciao 0:) mefline

hmm.. so hw's today sectional?

boring??

ya..

so today sectional taught us..

HOW IMPORTANT IT IS TO GET IN TUNE!!

clarinetists..

take note of ur high B, high A, and normal A..

these notes tend to go sharp..

so adjust when necessary..

we shld tune to arnd 0 to sharp 10..

and Desmond had alrdy taught us some figerings for some notes..

n so try to get use to it..

today we waste a lot of tyms juz to get 1 note in tune..

so hw do we solve?

1) listen to everyone sound and get in tune..

2) adjust sth.. *dun juz stand tere.. nth is goin to help staring*

Miss Loh had also ask we all to do a tuning charts right?

den use it wisely..

those charts is for us to take note on which note we tend to go sharp or flat..

IF EVERY1 PUT IN THEIR EFFORT.. EVERYTHING WOULD B EASY!.. =)

i know it look simple but is quite difficult to do..

but first thing first..

use ur ear wisely.. listen is de most important things to do..

=))

so wat we nid to bring for camp?

-4 school based shirts (can use tetra shirt if hav)

-4 dark coloured shorts (above knees but nt too short duh)

-4 undergarments

-3 paris of socks

-toiletries

-slippers

-personal medication

COMPULSORY ITEMS!

-sleeping bag

-1.5litres waterbottle

-writing materials

GROUPS NEEDS?

-1 cheer for meal

-2 cheers for PT

-2 cheers for games..

-groups identity

*date due: this wed, 12 dec*
