Wacky!
Hi Band People! Firstly i would like to apologise to whoever that the music from my blog has affected... Didn't know it was there cause i did my blogskin at Kenneth's place and his speakers are not working... COMMON TESTS ARE STARTING TOMMOROW!!!!!!!! Don't think I'm going to do too well... Today started off with me finding out about that my Geography teacher would be changing for the 5th time... We got some canadian woman by the name of Mrs Anantra... Didn't seem like she even knew our syllabus... sigh... It'll be a miricle if we actually passed... And guess what! During Mother Tongue we learnt how to say "popcorn" and " strawberry" in Chinese! English came after reccess and it was total boredom... Whole class had to do "Brain Gym" just to keep awake! And did it work? Well, we ended up disturbing other classes because we were stomping our feet on the ground for fun... The bell rang and the "sleeping spell" was un cast on our class... sad to say for the A Math guys that they had three more periods of Mr BP Wong to go! "Boooooyyysss!" The fun part came during D&T... Mr. Pang didn't come and all hell broke loose!!! The pictures below will explain all... Haha...
Clarinet Tip #03:Practicing slowly with "slow fingers" does little to improve fast passage work when the correct tempo is later taken up. However, practicing slowly with "fast fingers" can work wonders for improving rapid, technical passages. To "practice fast, slowly," select a very slow tempo with long note values substituted for short values. Move the fingers quickly and precisely at the exact moment the notes change. It may feel as if you are "suddenly jerking" the fingers from one note to the next. Take care, Squiggles
