Update on sectional

Hi,

There will be cello/bass sectional on this thursday (11Oct 2007), 6pm, at PR3. Mr.Lee messaged me on Sunday that he is still in overseas now until 11 Oct 2007. He is quite unreachable now as the place has no signal. So I'm not sure he'll be coming on this thursday. I'll show you some videos ( one is a interview with yoyoma and some videos on 彭修文, a famous chinese orchestra composer), which will last abou 40 minutes, we'll have self-practice for the rest of the time. So c ya!!

p.s. Please bring a long ur membership fees ($30 for new member , $20 for 'old' member), for those who haven past it to me.

Hi all,its me again!

This is a gentle reminder that there will be nocombined practice this Saturday 13th October(Hari Raya Puasa) and20th October (Mr Lum will not be around)Section ICs, do spread the word to the freshies as some of themmight not have joined the nusco yahoo group.As there will only be 2 combined practices left for the semester(27th October, 3rd November), I would like to appeal to all membersinvolved in the combined practices to turn up on these 2 days sothat we will be able to have a better idea of how our pieces soundlike as an orchestra before we break for the -delightful- exams.Further updates regarding the duration of these practices will beposted later.Have a great week ahead!

Update for today's sectional

Hihi,

me here again..haha..for those players learning cello, Mr.Lee got some homework for nx 2 weeks. Pg 34-38. So u can practise urself when u're free.Oh ya I've forgotten to giv the contacts to u, hmm just send me an email through my yahoo mail if u wanna come down, btw saturday guarantee got somebody there, so maybe just come down straight away.For the combine score we went through 满江红, we already mark finish the fingerings liao( the thumb positioning oso), so maybe just update ur score if u din come today.

Btw for the new players especially, Mr.Lee suggested that try to use the same cello during practise, so maybe u settle among urselves and identify the cello, as every cello has a slight difference in positioning. Btw oso, try to inform me if u cannot come down nx time( Very thanx to those who informed me), just to noe wats going on.

Lastly, haha, nth liao , just to wish u a happy mid-term break, n 中秋节快乐 !!!

Self-Practise information

Hi,

Some of the players would like to practise cello at CFA other than Thursday sectional.Here are some suggestion, so tat would not bring too much workload to our property manager, as the cupboard is locked, and we need him for the key.

One of the most convenient way is to come down to CFA when there are others sectional,(the property manager will be there), below are the suggested timings:

1. Tuesday, 6pm to 10pm (Dizi,percussion,Ruan/Liuqin,Suona,Yangqin sectionals)
2. Thursday ( u can stay back and practise after 7pm, but might not have enough instruments for everyone)
3. Saturday, 2.30pm to 6pm (Combine practise, again there might not be enough instruments for everyone, priority given for combine practise)

I will give you my contact in next sectional, and contact of the property manager, so that you can call either one of us to confirm that the key is around before coming down. Between it is not very likely to book a room, as those room are used by other sectionals, so maybe can practise in the store ( plz bring ur jackets, very cold inside), or along the corridor.Besides, very sorry for the limited practise timing, as CFA have many other groups, and the property manager have a lot of work already, we shouldn't trouble him more.Hope that u can understand :)

Recap on 13Sept's sectional

Hi,

Well, I think our sectional was a good one. For the new players, sorry that our instructor is late, so less time for you to learn, will spare some more time for you if the instrutor is late. Anyway, other than this the sectional is running great.Mr.Lee teaches a lot for both experience and inexperience, he is humourous, isn't it?For the inexperience player, please let me know if you wanna come n practise other than Thursday, so that arrangement can be made. Thank you for coming down to the sectional, hope you got something from the sectional, and continue to support our sectional..C ya nx week!!

Sectional Update

Hi,

There will be cello/bass sectional on this Thursday, 13Sept2007, at PR3.Please take note for the timing.Due to insufficient instrument, we'll have a time segmentation.Therefore for non-experienced player, please come at 6pm, while the experience player please come at 7pm. For inexperience player, please come to the sectional, according to Mr.Lum(NUSCO condutor) ,the instructor has to teach inexperience player as well as experience player, Mr.Lum has made this clear in combine practise(1st Sept 2007). Also, we already have overwhelming players without cello/bass background, and therefore we will not accept anymore players without background who has not join us in the previous 3 sectionals. Between also remember to bring along ur cello book, or combine score for the sectional.Hope to c u soon!!
