Hi people
Here to post some of my comments for you guys and maybe some little pointers to help earn some marks here and there.
1. Neatness
Had always been a been a problem since day 1
while there are significant improvements
it definitely can be nicer (esp TBY, since you will be the most obvious)
examples I can quote will be set piece bar 65-69
how to solve, SL to co-ordinate
before 'entering' make sure your members 呼吸
as in breather in tandem, then that will make sure you guys come in as a section tgt
did this prac with Pipa, any doubts ask Kenneth
2. Muffled (Dynamics)
Dynamics are not obvious enough
Very minimal (I feel)
小声不够小声,大声不够大声
hence, SLs, before you guys start practicing on wed itself
do this as a form of warm-up
everybody to tremelo a single note starting from p
then slowly crescendo to mp mf then f
each volume for about 10s
then dimuendo back to p
in the process, remembering your own 力度 for each volume
then bring this to the morning practice
subsequently for SYF
did this will TBY also, ask Kenneth if my explanations aren't clear
3.台风
Very minimal as well
other than cello/bass, nice natural and suave~
can see some1(female, don't know her name, sorry~) from erhu having very nice taifeng
do spread this throughout entire erhu, then the effect would be nice :D
TBY~erm, Kenneth, do something
yea,thats all I have
2 days is sufficient to overcome these problems
so SLs, please assist, last 2nd mission for SACO!
what I have to say is
you guys improved TREMENDOUSLY
from day 1 your music was like noise
till yesterday when I heard your 'informal' dazu
left 2 practices, practice hard
familiarise yourself with the songs
and then treat wed as a performance, not a competition
play happily, then your music will be nice
don't stress!! important, like what I tell my TBY dearies
放松!! and you will do just fine :D
will be praying for you guys :D
