[edit] Please COME AT 3pm not 3.30pm IN ORDER TO FASCILITATE WARM UPS. I doubt anyone is reading this but COME AT 3pm. I WILL TELL YOU ALL TOMORROW. you guise know how you all warm up... dilly dally and then whatnot. SO COME EARLY, UNLESS YOU CAN DO WARM UPS IN 10 MINS, WHICH YOU CAN'T. [/edit by bensee]
tomorrow. 3.30pm [unless otherwise stated by Ms Gan or Ms Lim, since there's Chaplain's Hour tomorrow].
whatever time choir starts, please be punctual. one way to ensure this is to be in the music room with your water bottle, pencil, and scores ready before the stated time, so that we can start warm-ups.
also, remember to have your journals with you. [and obviously, there has to be something written in the journal. BenSee has kindly given you guys a place to start. Add other stuff that you can remember from the rehearsal!]
and with the newly implemented "no handphones in your pocket" rule, I'ld like everyone to switch off their handphones and place them on the shelf or in your bags before choir begins. If you are expecting an important phone call, alert mr tay [not me. I'm not the one conducing the rehearsal.]. I trust you guys will cooperate, because it's pointless for me to go around all 25 of us just to ensure everyone kept their handphones. please remind each other of this.
Speaking of reminding each other, let's start a habit of reminding each other when our bad habits act up. e.g.: lifting heads to breathe, leaning to one side, playing with the score, just to name a few. no names mentioned.
By the way, when you're free, read this. Hope this clears up your mind on the differences between tenuto and accent.
Accent
The note is played louder or with a harder attack than any surrounding unaccented notes. May appear on notes of any duration.
Tenuto
This symbol has two meanings. It usually indicates that it be played for its full value, without any silence between it and the next note, but with a separate attack (non legato). It can also direct the performer to give the note a slight accent. Combining a tenuto with a staccato yields a "portato," which indicates intermediate note-lengths, detached but not quite staccato.
