Piano exams... and maybe more...

Well... It's been awhile since my piano exams have finished...

Recalling, I do not think I have done too well during the exam...

1st song: Mozart Sonata in C, Kv 309
First movement: Ok... Though I think I may have rushed a little too much in the beginning... Should not be the real problem =)
Second movement: Ok... Supposedly my most confident movement... Not too fast, not too slow, so I think this movement also should not be the real problem =)
Third movement: (The one which must have killed me ) I rushed (hopefully not too much) and I tripped a lot on the notes... Especially when the page didn't turn!!!

2nd song: Intemezzo in A by Brahms.
Quite nicely done, except for a slip on the 3rd page...

3rd song: Prokofiev Visions Fugitives 1-5
1-3 movements: I think I screwed those movements... Nervous? Should be bah...
4-5 movements: Not as bad as the first 3 movements... I hope..

Overall not too good... I really wish I can pass though...

Wadeva..

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Piano Exams and some other updates...

Hi... Sorry for not being able to post for the past month... I have been busy on some things... (choir stuff mainly...)

First...

Grandparent's day concert on 25/11 @ Ancient Civilization Museum... TPJChoir performed 3 songs: Come Go With Me, The Lion Sleeps Tonight and finally Those Lazy Hazy Crazy days of Summer... The concert was quite ok... zao sia sometimes but overall ok... Haha... Hopefully this would give us some publicity so we can have more JC1 intake next year

Next...

The Samuel Ting Tribute concert on 28/11 @ Victoria Concert hall... TPJChoir performed 8 songs: 4 alone, 3 combined with VJC and the last one combined with VJC and Amadeus Choral Society Singapore... The 4 songs we did alone were "Abiding in Christ", "The Magic of Believing", "The Way that he Loves" and "Fatimah"... The 4 combined songs with VJC are "Joyful Dance (欢乐舞曲)", "Nightingale (夜莺之歌)" and "Yuan Nian (远念)"... The last song with all the singers was "The Lord's Prayer"... TPJChoir's performance was "Very Good" as said by one of Singapore's best conductors (and also our choir's director), Mr Nelson Kwei... and since a lot of secondary schools went for the concert (most of the tickets were sold to secondary school choirs), this meant more publicity for us YEAH!!


Finally... the biggest thing....

My Piano Diploma exam!!! Coming soon... 19th December 2007 in Robert Piano music school at Marina Walk... ARGHHH!!! Now going to practice hard after I finish blogging...

BTW Plaisir de Chanson 2008 is coming soon! Do check out my blog for more information
