The Music Teacher?

Hi, this is Adeline and myself in Salvador, Brazil.
Normally when I show my students this picture, I will point out 3 things:
1. the cobble-stone streets,
2. the short and quaint buildings,
3. the small balconies on the buildings.
I will then ask why the streets and buildings are like that (because of colonisation) and what kind of feeling they give (definitely different from Singapore). Ultimately, it'll all lead to Samba music.
And I still have a 2500 word essay due next Monday which I am still deciding on what to write.

gone for a while...now back!

just came back from beijing...will post some photos and post-concert comments in a bit...oh gosh...seemed like a long time ago!

catcha later!

How Ironic....

I don't know, i just feel it was kinda ironic
I was the one who told Yingning to enjoy himself when performing. Sometimes i just feel that he is too preoccupied with "playing it well" to enjoy himself...
but today what happened was entirely opposite! Yingning was obviously enjoying himself on stage and he was playing so beautifully, while i got ... well, kinda stressed out and i screwed up on a few occasions... so i obviously don't practise what i preach
sorry Yingning, i should've done a better job, but hey, at least we held it together right? :P

Who You Will See At The Concert

Hi, another picture to draw the crowd. (Yes, its meant as a joke, haha)

Linkin Park Live in Singapore

Hi everyone, this is a picture which I took in Linkin Park's concert here in Singapore on this Tuesday night. It was in Indoor Stadium.
The concert was supposed to start at 8pm but it started only slightly past 9pm. The crowd went absolutely wild once it started. 2 words to describe the whole concert right from the beginning till the very end: 'powerful' and 'electrifying'.
There were certainly lots to learn from this concert.

Mr Heger, Clement and Me

Hi,
This is a picture of (left to right) me, Clement Huang and Mr Heger. This was just taken today after our run through of the Brahms 3rd violin sonata at Yong Siew Toh Conservatory.
Clement played really well today. I was so impressed that it was really distracting my playing. Mr Heger was all praises. Well done Clement!
Mr Heger has also told us he'll be attending our concert. Hmm.. seems like I'll need to try playing better.
We're so sorry for delaying Xuan Rong's lesson time. She was also the one who helped us take this picture. Thanks!

Status Update: Voice

Ever since Acis and Galatea just two weeks ago, I feel like I have mastered a little bit more of my voice...I think I sound better now...so, my vocal condition can be said to be fine.

I am almost done with full memorization of the opera segment, but halfway through for the Lieder segment. But my memory should be able to help me finish the job in about two days.

As for the interpretation and the finer details, trust that they will be well-honed by 17 Nov! =)

Oh man...I am forever working on a tight schedule...no worries...as long as I make it...

I WILL!
