and yeah today's practice wasn't really up to expectations but hey guys! we can do it! if we can play better than today in the past, WE CAN DO BETTER on friday! don't worry so much yeah;D just left with 2 or even 1 more night to self-prac at home! self-prac isn't a big problem yeah! just 15 mins or even half an hour to practise the part that you have gone wrong during practice! :D JIAYOUS!!
some changes are added to the concert, but don't worry! we still have all the other important pieces that we can show our audience:D
some tips:
1) listen to the links of the songs we are playing and yeah! get the rhythm right!
2) COUNT PROPERLY! don't go off the beat so often and LOOK AT MR GOH!
3) look out for ur bowing! i guess this isn't much of a problem! if you use the wrong bowing during concert, take a deep breath and continue with the song:)
4) SMILE AT ALL TIMES! don't give that serious look to the audience yeah:D :) if
5) if you play wrongly in concert, JUST SMILE AND CONTINUE:D
6) enjoy the music you are playing:D immerse yourself in it and feel for the music:D
7) WHAT IF THE STRING BREAKS OR OUT OF TUNE??!? *touchwood* just go along and act normal:D try to use other strings to play the note if not u just smile and look at
audience:D
8)in solving the out of tune thing, PUSH ALL YOUR pegs IN TIGHTLY!! yup! can ask ur sl help u ba!
9)if you think u are playing wrongly, listen to ur partner!~ your stand partner is always there to help u:D
