Samba-Etude and Spring's Message

Hi ppl. This is regarding today's training. From now on there will be less sectionals unless we need to correct a a certain parts as there are some of u who don't like the idea of sectionals. It will be mostly combined and u get to choose which part u wan to play (but not cfm that you'll get it in case too many ppl chose that). But there are implications with this. First, we will no longer be spoonfeeding each bar and each line of the piece and how to play it anymore. You are required to go home and practise yourself, be ready for the combined for every training. There's no way to smoke through cos there will still be auditions before major events and we'll definitely not let those who cant play through. Like before, there will be a MI in charge of each parts taken, thus forming ur "section".

Having said this, next monday will be a combined, and next wed also a combined. Mr Shi will be coming down again next wed. Please finish until pg 2 of samba-etude for monday's training. (We know that its slightly harder for guitar 2 and 3. just try your best. but since we're can finish 1 pg within 50 mins, pg 2 shdn't be a problem. try ur best la. if cant at least go to lyk pg 1.5) thx.


And for those who didnt turn up today, pleaseplease come for the next training cos alot is like happening. We're started abit on spring msg today and finished pg 1 out of 4 of samba-etude. if you still haven't decided which parts you wan go look for the respective MIs asap to get the scores and start practising.

Guitar 1 - Denyse
Guitar 2 - Ying Zhi
Guitar 3 - Yong Chuan
Guitar 4 - Eileen


The scores and sent for photocopying already. O a v. impt thing. don't spread the score as Mr Shi has sold the piece to some sch so we are not supp to spread it and can only use it for internal use. So please don't photocopy or pass to ur friend or leave the score lying around. Do collect the scores (samba-etude) from your MI on fri so that you can prac during the weekend. We'll get the scores for spring msg and pass u guys at a later date. But our focus isn't on spring message, the piece we're learning is samba. We'll most probably only like spend 15 mins every training on spring msg. yupp. so just prac abit of spring msg we can take like 2-3 months to finsih it its okay (expected duration to finish samba is ard 1 month or less with no more sectionals).

Last of all, for those who can try not to cut ur nails from now on. i'll using some time to go through tone production, nail filing etc next mon. Cos most of us dno how to properly use nails yet so either we don't leave nail or we've got excessively long nail. ya. bring along a nail filer + buffer if you have. Thx.

yupp. thats all. have fun prac-ing xD
