choir reflection for Thu. 2 Sep.

62 or more people came to last week's choir practice. We almost got our full attendance which was quite a pleasant…memorable…big surprise!! Ms Yin was happy about it and I hope we can keep it up!! I think the only thing that hindered choir's highest~ mood is that we still need to be reminded constantly of what Ms Yin has taught us. Hope everyone can find their own most effective method to keep things like 'lifting your cheeks' and 'keeping that high roof' in mind. Since we've already started to prepare for SYF, hope everyone can do their 100% try, both for choir's good and your own good. (I believe everyone hopes to participate in next year's SYF. right?) Last, cheer for Nanhua choir!!

So... Yesterday~

We were drilling Ocharaka, but A1s can't be heard, sucks. :X Couldn't help them, feel so bad><
Then the Month of Maying song, we still can't be heard, oh my my. :X

Think we need to work more on our enthusiasm towards choir, and also, work on our 'fear' of singing something wrong or out of tune. It's only when we sing loud that we can be corrected and thus, improve. (:

Thennn~ The homework on the Hungarian pronunciation thingy.. I wasn't there when the homework was given so I didn't do it. >.> But yeah.. I felt that, since there's such a good chance for people to actually use the computer, why not? Just tell your parents that you have to do your choir homework, do it, then play! :D

Jiayous Choir! xD

Reflection for 2/9/10 (:

Although I was unable to sing because I had a sore throat but I still learnt a lot of things. (:

Ms Yin talked about the 'soft pellet' technique, using your finger and almost touching your soft pellet. Hahah.

Also, on the pronunciation of the hungarian lyrics.

I think the choir sang louder than usual which is better!

I also think we should revise our songs at home as many people forget what Ms Yin has told us and then our singing not up to standard.

I think choir is improving yay!

Jiayou choir :D

-Rachel.

Reflections:

Although I was not feeling well for this thursday's choir practice but I felt that even if we are sitting down, we should pay attention to what Miss Yin is saying as well as jot down notes with the choir instead of doing something else. I am also really happy that our choir is improving, as Miss Yin said, that our voice is traveling upwards instead of backwards like we were last time. I believe if we could continue improving like this, and putting our hearts into this choir, without anyone forcing us to, I am sure we could achieve Gold With Honours for next year's SYF! Go! NHChoir!:D

REFLECTIONNNS

Sooooo, heeerrreee arrree my reeefleections for thisss weeeeek. Hee.

So, for this choir practice (thurs 'cos there was no pract on tues O:) I was one of the the sick people so i tio chosen for reflections. Oh well. It was good I was at the back because I realised I kept helping my alto 1 section by singing reallly loudly so that ms yin won't kill us, so yay. We drilled on ochakara for 2 hours, and month of maying next, although I thought that month of maying was ^&$*@&$^@%, cos for some reason alto 1 kept straying off and they were REALLY soft. And jieyin(A1) thought that it was ^&$*@&$^@% too, that's why i thought it to be ^&$*@&$^@% too. Well dear altonians of the first order, MUST JIA YOU OHKAY. i should stay at the back of the room for every pract, muahahaha. So when charmaine was talking to the choir on something, the SLs were having a little chat with Ms Yin on our doubts about teaching, and so I asked, when conducting warm ups, how do we know what the choir should do if their sound be off, because it was obvious if it was off, but I didn't know WHY. and so she said that we have to observe and listen more carefully to her and how other SLs conduct their warm ups. (realise that i feel really inspired when i listen to ms yin, like, woah...) I also asked her about alto 1s, and she says that our progress is slower than the rest of the sections, so we might have to do some tuning sessions every now and then. So do not despair! We are not all lost, because I know you can do it! Because Im your SL! If i don't have faith with y'all, i will die also! hahaha! 

So i think thats all.

rock on

qiaole

Choir reflection

Now it's my turn to write the choir reflection. Didn't know that it'll be mine so soon. Anyway, here it goes...

There wasn't any choir on tuesday cos there was the teachers' day celebration!!

On Thursday (which is today), I had a terrible cold.. Sigh.. :( Didn't sing with the choir today but attendance was great today!! 64/65!:D

I didn't really know what ms yin taught us today cos I fell asleep a few times:P. Heard ms yin talking about the choir's pronunciation for the Hungarian song. Actually, as I had alr gotten used to the way singaporeans speak, I didn't really think that there was anything wrong with it in the first place until ms yin emphasized on it haha:P.

--fast forwarding to the end of the practice--

Haha! Charmaine was asking us about the Hungarian homework. Turned out that many didn't do their homework.. But at least I did it!!:D ms chua was saying how frustrating it was if her students don't do their homework. Okay I guess I'll just end it right here..
