-Chamber orchestra~ We finally managed to go through the two gospel pieces that we're playing! Even though things sound a bit eerie and everyone's sliding around on their pitch, but its encouraging to know that we can at least play through the pieces. Kai Sheng was conducting today and he's still rather new to the position, so it'll be a while till he's accustomed to conducting. I find he looked rather stiff, but it was an enjoyable practice.
-Tutoring~ Christine and I have decided to work in the library so Rosie can supervise us. The problem is that the library closes at 4.00 but our tutoring session is supposed to last until 4.30, so i'll see if i can find a new supervisor. This week i made two sheets of notes of Christine with the basic notations for sets. Next week, i'll be starting her off with the past papers, and i plan to complete half a paper per week for paper four, and assign her one paper two for homework. Even though her class will be starting on the past papers soon, i have asked the math teachers for advice and Ms. Tan told me that its perfectly okay to do past papers twice or even more than that, so there's no problem there.
-Musical practice~ we had our first practice on wednesday and thursday's lunchtime. So far, we've ran through two songs, and Japheth and I alternate playing the piano. i also youtubed the songs that we're playing to help me understand the style of the songs. Ms. Leong asked me to create a string accompaniment for Wen Lu. Although the songs are still a little sloppy around the edges, the basic gist is there and besides, practice makes perfect. The practices are enjoyable and i'm comfortable with the people I'm working with.
