Hay guise, haven't been online for a long time, so didn't know raymond and ronald had posted some stuff. D:
I was pretty embarrassed at myself for not looking at the MOE project in a different light before I started my rant (in front of Ms. Gan and Mr. Tay, no less) of whatever "useless shiz" and whatever. I guess I was just too crazy at that point of time to think straight. I think it was kind of strange, though, going for rehearsals every day... if you guys come back on Saturday as damn good singers, I am so crashing sessions with you all... I mean, they CAN accommodate one extra person, right? 8D
Besides that, TODAY WAS OUR FIRST REHEARSAL WITH MR. TAY, WOOHOO!!! I think you all agree that we learnt quite a bit, though we could have gone faster should we have had paid more attention and stretched ourselves to the end of the three hours. OF COURSE, WE'RE ALL GONNA PWN AVE MARIA AND DIDN'T MY LORD, right?!
Some stuff for you guise to write in your scores and journals:
For Ave Maria:
Adios 'till Thursday!

Some stuff for you guise to write in your scores and journals:
For Ave Maria:
- Inflection... lots and lots of it.
- Dynamics.
- Pronounciation of words.
- Stressing of constanants.
- The pronounciation of "Didn't" and "Daniel".
- Crescendos in the verses should be spread out. ("And why not every man?", etc.)
- Taking note of the Tenuto(es) in the first chorus of "Didn't my Lord deliver Daniel, etc."
- Writing down the checklist for what to do from head to toe for preparing your instrument:
- Feet pointing forwards, hands by your side. (From Mr. Lim)
- Weight on balls of your feet.
- Loosen your knees.
- Breathe from the centre of your hips.
- Tuck your stomach in. (From Mr. Lim)
- Open your ribcage, chest out.
- Long neck, tuck chin in.
- Big face, large features, smile.
- Pulling sensation on head, tugging downwards on tail bone.
Adios 'till Thursday!
