Hi trumpetors!
I haven't been really talking to you guys so i'll take this opportunity to do so.
i know its stressing and demanding. You've got Syf practises, studies, homeworks ,scoldings /naggings/expectations from parents etc.
So many things to handle and cope,yet so little time left.
i just want to let you guys know, no matter how hard circumstances or situations may you face, don't give up yet. You're reaching the finishing line soon! Would you rather waste your effort that you've put in from the beginning of the year or would you push yourself to finish the very last quarter race?
Reflect on yourself now.
What have you accomplished for the last 1 year/2 years/3 years or 4 years? Maybe you've learnt buzzing without mouthpiece?
Learnt to memorise only 7 major scales?
Learnt to do double or triple tonguing?
Learnt to sight read?
Learnt to do 4 octaves slurrings?
Have you really apply fully what your seniors and tutor have taught you?
Have you taken sectionals with tutor seriously?
Or do you just take it as some light sectionals.
Have you even practise before sectionals?
Maybe it's time we start reflecting. Also to note down what're the things you want to accomplish for this new year. Set a target for yourself. It will definitely benefit yourself,not others.
By the way, i'm not trying to make you feel guilty of yourself or even demoralise you. Please do not put it in this way. I still care for this section.
Please do not neglect your studies too. Studies and Band should work hand in hand. 50% for Studies and 50% for Band. :] This is how you should balance. Encourage and motivate one another in your Section and in the Band. When you see someone who's going to quit band soon, go and talk to her and encourage her. That should be the band spirit. :]
I hope whatever i've post ,trumpetors will put it into action okay. If you've got any doubts or things to clarify with, feel free to approach me directly. :]
daziree.
