Those playing melody, please sing your melody everyday in your mind.
Sad melodies, can delay the tempo abit.
Short staccatos please be accurate, and neat with others.



OVERALL:
I do not wish to see anyone of you sticking your eyeballs to your scores. By now you all should've already memorise part of them, or all. Don't tell me your memory is that weak that you can't even memorise after staring it for like don't know how long. And you should've already memorise cause you've been playing them for like how long already. How are you all going to know if the conductor is slowing down or going faster? Please stop staring at the scores like as if they would conduct you. Look at the conductor every moment. I don't mind if you all scan thru the score abit while playing, but please do not keep staring at your scores.

Because,
-You won't know if you are at the right beat of the conductor's baton.
-You won't be able to know if the conductor wants you to play out more or less.
-You won't know what the conductor is trying to tell you.

So stop sticking your eyeballs on yor scores.

Secondly, I don't want to hear anymore wrong notes. At this point of time, are you telling me that you're still not sure about your notes? Total crap, by now you all should've known all your notes and stuffs. And remember your repeated sharps and flats. Esp when you all are playing melody, it's so obvious that you are playing the wrong note. Stop playing wrong notes.

Who actually made the effort to ask for recordings of your pieces? Only one or two. Why didn't you all make the effort to go and listen to the recordings and I actually had to prompt you all to do so? If you don't know how the piece sound like, how are you going to know the style of the piece?

Most importantly, don't make me repeat what I've taught you all during sectionals. Rhythms, notes whatever. Whatever I've taught you all, don't tell me you've forgotten. There's some reason why you forgotten all about what I've taught you:
1. Didn't write down on your scores.
2. Not listening during sectionals.
3. Don't give a damn at all.
When me or the conductors say something, quickly jot that down on your scores. I see alot of clean scores today. I don't want your scores to be clean. I want it to be dirty, as dirty as possible. Highlight all the articulation marks, the key signatures. Have a pencil with you every practise/sectionals so that you can jot it down.

Don't make me prompt you to bring home your instruments and scores.
If you don't bring home, you're telling me that you know all your stuffs. And I expect better playing the next practise. When you bring home scores, I take it that you all will read your scores and refresh your memories. Like what Mr Lim had said, what he say in combine, you all absorb 50% is good enough. But let me tell you all, 50% is not less. Is alot of things.

I do not wish to meet you all after practises to scold you all again.
You're tired of getting scolded, I am tired of scolding you all, too.

Can you all just wakeup your ideas?
We're only left with 8 more days to OPUS IV.

Work harder, it's not hard enough.

Siangjoo.

Blogskin got problem, so I changed it.
Not very nice layout but I'll try to change it when I have the time to.

Trumpeters, we don't have much time left.
OPUS is just like a week away and we're still having problems like:
-Not counting the rest bars correctly,
-Not playing the articulations correctly,
-Not getting our sound in tune,
-Not enough air support for some of you,
-Not alert enough,
-Not enough anticipation,
-Not enough practise.

Look, trumpeters.
I don't want to stress you all up but I get really piss off when some of you don't apply what I have taught you all in sectionals. And I would like to make this very clear.

Please don't make me repeat what I've taught you all.
Bcos it's a waste of time, and we're running out of time.

It's very difficult to prepare our concert in such a short time and we have so much pieces to play. I know it is hard, I find it hard to. But, we have no choice, right?

For juniors, I know this is your first big event of yr life - OPUS. I'm not sure how much you see that OPUS is important. You see, we seniors have been asking for OPUS over and over again. And it has been a very long time since we had OPUS III. I know it is difficult. But I believe you all can do it.

For all of you all,
I know the preparation is very tough and hard for you all. Sometimes me, and noel may be shouting and screaming at little mistakes you all had made. But, you all should know why are we so tensed up you see. I'm sure you all want to make this OPUS IV a good one. I'm sure you all want to enjoy this OPUS. But we have to put in much more effort. It is not enough. I have faith in you all. I can see the potential in you all.

It's not whether you can or not, it's whether you want it or not.

Remember, effort is always not enough if one person/some people don't put in the effort. If everybody put in small effort, it will become big effort.

We can, trumpeters, we can do it.
Let's work hard together and shine as a whole.

Rest well, :)
10 more days to OPUS IV.

HAPPY SIXTEENTH BIRTHDAY TO
NOEL MA, the TRUMPETER!!!




Have an AWESOME YEAR AHEAD OF YOU! All the best for N levels!

RWS TRUMPET SECTION LOVES YOU! :)

Thursday, 9 April 2009

My darling Trumpeters,
Hmm, some comments... nope is opinion to give to all of you.

Dearest Hocky,
Enjoy your bandless schedule and remember to study hard. Hope this year top scorer of the band will be YOU! Study, study, study! Love you.

Dearest SiannngggJoo,
A great section leader to be, i have totally no objection of you being our and MY section leader.
You have to be a little strict to the sec1s if not, they are going to climb over your head. Hope that even you are a PC now, you still can maintain the happiness of the section. Do more gossiping, its FUN and it can also make the section more bonded. i think its time for the whole section to get close with the sec1s as sooner or later, they are going to join the main band. Your playing is fanstatic but not everyone in the section is like you, so please do teach all the members and make them as good as you or even better than you. Love you.

Dearest Birdy / Liting,
A great player in the section, (: and please do not even have the mindset that you want to be a trombonist than a trumpeter. The section needs you and you know that, so get rid of that sinful mindset of yours alright? please help Siangjoo to teach the section alright, like limin, as you know she's quite a slow learner and it takes patience to teach her and only you in the section have that ability to teach her slowly. Being the department head of the library isn't easy, it will take up alot of your time and it might affect your wonderful studies. So, don't let it happen alright? Love you.

Dearest Shazlina,
Also a great player in the section alright? But please beware of your sound as i've realised that your sound does not match with any one in the section alright? Try your best to blend your sound with the section. I've ask Siangjoo to give everyone a chance to get first instead of taking third every single time but she will give you base on your ability. If you are good, the probability of you getting first will be higher and i think you are sick of getting third everytime right? So, work hard for it alright? Love you.

Dearest Limin,
You are a good player and i couldn't denied it. Its just that you don't dare to play out. You know all your rhythm and all the notes but you are afraid to play out. Its okay to play wrong notes or miss pitch for a few notes but you have to have the courage. In the section, i worried most about you. You are always sick and this worries me, seeing you in a pale/bad condition makes me want to send you home immediately but during the SYF period, i didn't allow you to because i don't want you to miss any important detail of the music. So eat more fruits and vegetable alright?
And, you're doing fine in the section. Love you.

Dearest JiongHong,
I know that you are a very hardworking trumpeter/sec1, you came to practice alone while others are at home sleeping. Great job! Don't misunderstood that we don't like you and blah blah blah, its not, its just we the seniors want to enjoy ourselves for the last few times but when we are talking, you would interupt our conversation. That is why we feel irritated and stuffs. Its not that we don't like you alright. You said that we are very fierce but we are not, we just want you to learn faster and we dont wish that our sec1s will climb over our head so that is why we are a little fierce to you.

Dearest Izzatul,
Another primary school player in our section, (: Everything about you is goood, your playing and such. Its just that you're just a little too soft. Try projecting more like use more air to fill up the whole mouthpiece and breathe in much more, it helps! Socialize more with your seniors alright? In our section, no one is quiet so dont let yourself become the first one. Love you.

Dearest Felicia,
You have to try to come for all the practices alright? Don't let yourself fall behind the rest of the sec1s, and dont dissappoint you elder sis. I didn't really get to hear your playing as earlier on, the seniors are busy preparing for SYF and we neglected all of you. So, after 6 months when i come back, i want to hear you playing as good as all the seniors! Love you.


Your former Section leader,
Noel ma (:

loved... & missed.

Saturday, 4 April 2009

Yesterday was the Award's day.
The sec4's last performance, yes, Hockie's last performance.
Hockie, don't feel sad. We'll love you and miss you like the way we used to be. :)
Don't cry.

And Noel I'll wait for you to come back to the section okay.
I'll try my best to make the section strong!
Now 2 of the seniors left, we need to buck up more.
Please workharder and harder.
Esp sec1s, I'm gonna eat you'all up. (joking.)
Okay, let's strive for the best!

YOU RAISED ME UP!
SO I CAN STAND ON MOUNTAINS.

Friday, 3 April 2009

Hey trumpeters!

Noel, Siangjoo, LiTing, Limin and Shazlina!

Last performance with you guys today.

The all girls power crazy happy section. It has been great going through the SYF period with you girls. Great having sectionals, having combine, having lunch where we'll always end being later than time given, having fun with you girls.

All the memories we've shared.. Disappointing moments, fun times when we go roaring with laughters in the bus, during sectionals, or anywhere! etcetc. Love them all.

I'm gonna miss having so much fun with you guys. But anyway looking on a brighter side, we'll all anticipate for Opus yeah!

Though we may get distanced as time goes by, but bear that in mind that I love you girls, and will never forget all those times we have shared. It means so much to me! :)

Now that Noel and I have stand down, do continue rocking the section!

For Siangjoo, it's your turn to lead the section now. 3 years passed by. Guess you're not that fierce and scary anymore HAHAHA. Focus on the juniors' individual problems, have them solve it. Help them out with their scales, theory and such. Keep up with your good results in studies eh! And yea, continue improving you trumpeter!

Of course not forgetting Liting, help out siangjoo your beloved batchmate! Time for two of you to lead the section. I know you find it difficult to project your sound. But take it one step at a time yeah? I've heard you play loud before, and I know you can definitely do it! Don't look at the boring dull one year you have left in band. Before you even know it, time will fly by, and pooft, no more band practice for you. Cherish the time you have left in RWS, in RWS trumpet section. Love you manymany. :)

Bring the section to greater heights!

And for limin and shazlina, you guys still have SYF'2011 to go! MrLim has already mentioned what'll be ahead for you guys two years later. You two are going to have to be stronger than any of us in trumpet playing! Do keep improving, never stop! :)

As for the 3 sec1s: Izzatul, Jionghong and Felicia. I haven't really gotten to know you guys much. But being sec1s, you guys are just starting out to play the trumpet. In the beginning, practices may seem pretty dull, boring or whatsoever negative to you. Just take one step at a time. First, make the effort to turn up for band practices of course. You learn, practice, improve. I believe you guys have the potential to be great trumpeters of RWS. Maybe you guys have yet gotten to know the seniors you have. Perhaps your impression of them is fierce, or that they don't care about you. I tell you, you guys have an awesome bunch of seniors. You guys will get to know them more and more as time comes by. Jiayou sec1s! I'll be back to see you guys, to see tremendous improvement from each one of you.

Noel. It has been great being bandmates with you since primary 4. Glad to have you with me for the past years. Can't believe time flew by like no ducks business. Now that we have stand down in band, it's time for us to really focus in our studies eh. You jiayou for your 'Ns', and me, for my 'Os'! Love you!

Keep improving, the awesome RWS- trumpeters! :)

Excel in trumpet playing, and in your studies!

See you trumpeters around in school!

Love,
Hockhuey.

Wednesday, 1 April 2009

Hey trumpeters! ;)

WELL DONE! Guess we have achieved our goal. Evidence of ''what we reap, is what we sow.'' We reaped to practising, we got our desirable result.

Getting a Gold should not get any of us proud, or complacent or whatsoever. It should push you to work even harder.

The process to SYF had sure been an arduos one. I hope you guys enjoyed that 15 minutes on stage.

Not to forget, we ought to thank MrLim, MsLoh, MrLin, YongLin, and MrBen for having helped us during this period of time. It sure is greatly appreciated!

Coming next up, awards day on Friday! We gotta play well to impress our school! Prove to them that we are deserving of that Gold, and that we ARE capable of making producing goooooooody music.

Probably our last time of having play Sidus, and overture number 2!

Last few practises left with you guys before standing down. Nice having watch you guys grow up. LOLOL.

And of course for the sec1s, jiayou! Practise more! Improve, You guys can do it!

Okay, rest well! See you guys in school tomorrow!

Loved.

Tuesday, 24 March 2009

- Lovely meal @ KFC after tutoring with MrBen few Saturdays ago ;)


HEY TRUMPETERS!

Been three weeks since the last update, sheesh. Time flies LOL.

Anyway yeap, it's less than 6 more days to SYF 2009!

It's the last SYF for Noel and I, the first and last SYF for siangjoo and liting and it's the first syf for shaz and limin! I'm sure you guys wanna make it a super memorable one. Let's all work hard together and make this syf an awesome one for all of us! Be it hitting the high notes, playing figure N of Sidus, playing in time, on time, etcetc!
Apply what we have been taught from MrBen, MrLim, YongLin, MrLin, MrLee, MsLoh or anybody else! For example the [H] of Overture number 2, don't sound like ducks. N, play in time. And all the chords, listen out for each other! Make the necessary adjustments. Learn from mistakes. We don't have the time to keep repeating, repeating and repeating it!

Practise hard okay, so that no matter what award we may get, at least we know we have tried our best! :D

It's better than regretting not practising this, not playing that after the 15 minutes on stage. Furthermore, ONE CHANCE IS ALL WE HAVE!

Noel, Hockhuey, Siangjoo, Liting, Shazlina and Limin JIAYOU! YOU GUYS CAN DO IT! :)

JIAYOU RWS TRUMPETERS!! <33

Must take great care of yourself okay! :D Night practise tomorrow woohooolalala. Last night practise for most of us. (:

See you guys in school! :D

PS/ COLOURFUL WOOHOO!! <3

There is simply no more time the waste.
