Sectional update on 5July2007

Hi,

In 5th July 2007's sectional, only me and Wan Lin went to the sectional,therefore Mr.Lee couldn't go through combine score, indeed he went through some important basic practices.You may like to ignore the following contents if your basics is good enough. Between I only noted down the part for cello here..

I guess most of you (for cello) have the book call "The Art of Cello Playing " by Louis Potter, Jr. These are some of the practice recommended by Mr.Lee in the book:

1. Page 50,51,58 ( Crossing the strings)
2. Page 86-88 (Left Hand Extensions)
3. The Fourth Position (from pg 96)
4. The Second Position (from pg 124)
5. The Third Position (from pg 129)

In addition, it is suggested to ignore the songs in that book while focus on the basic practices (as if u can handle the basics, the song will definitely be no problem, p.s. the songs in the book is not very nice oso, haha). So maybe u would like to practise yourself if u want to. Besides there are also many parts that are not mentioned here, especially those b4 pg 50 and in between pg58 and 86, you might wanna go through those urself, again plz ignored those song behind every practices. Tats it , just a guideline for those who are interested. I've went through some of them, n find it very helpful..

Just a gentle reminder, sectional will resume after the semester start, plz do not come on thursday. Thanks..

Hi

I'm thinking of creating a blog for cello/bass sectional.Which serve to update the sectional practise time without the need of sms (there're many members plus sms is not an efficient way)?The reasons of choosing to have a blog as a tool is tat it is simple(no need to log in) while the message can be convey easily.

I will update the sectional time n venue weekly and hope that you guys will come to the website to check for the schedule(I'll update it b4 wednesday,haha,so maybe just check it b4 thursday c whether the sectional is cancelled.If there's change in day i'll sms).While anyone who cannot make it just left a comment on the post or post sth through the chatbox?Is this method better?or yahoo group is more preferable? or continue to use sms?

anyone interested to be the co-author of this blog?please send me ur email.

Besides do you guys want any more things here besides sectional schedule update?like information about concerts/free concerts?

plz give some feedback/comments/suggestion and to make our sectional more interesting,simple n efficient.
