passion
A post dedicated all to CO.
Every Thursday theres both LYFE and CO and LYFE eats up plenty of CO time. (Not saying LYFE is bad though! :D) It causes me not be unable to teach my juniors and I feel really bad. As in I am the liuqin zuzhang, I cannot leave everything to Geraldine; and from what I see every week, the sec1s jibengong is reverting back to what it is at first. There is a need to remind them constantly and prac jibengong for at least half an hour each session, but since the juniors enjoy playing pieces, Geraldine knows it and lets them play the pieces.
The juniors are HAPPIER but they will not be able to cope with the songs. Sarah's okay from what I see, except the same ol prob with her joint not pointing upwards. Guess that the strictness with her at the beginning paid off slightly. Kelly's weaker, both her right and left hands have probs. There seems to be something wrong but I cannot really judge. Since there's no LYFE next thursday, I shall reteach Kelly from the beginning.
From now on, I shall resolve to let all LYFE meetings end before 430 since its OFFPEAK session. Wait till Get Wild starts busying us, only then we shall end slightly later. At that time, hopefully Sarah and Kelly have become independent players.
On the other hand, I shall resolve to prac harder at home as well. Probably an hour everyday, including practice of private lessons as well as RGCO's. Sherry screamed at us today and I think all of us can sense her distress. When she screamed, I felt so guilty because I know that I have not been putting so much effort into CO lately and my passion for CO seems to be dying. BUT I MUSNT BE! I shall work harder man. Concert is reallyreally coming soon. Just a few more months, and that's it. Seetoh says I should be able to lun nicely by June and I reallyreally hope so! Changdi's liuqin solo and Xianziwuqu's main melody is damn important.
Another thing is that I MUST GAIN MORE CONFIDENCE IN MY PLAYING. I cannot feel scared and nervous when I play alone. It seems like I was more confident last year whenever I play alone, but now it doesnt seem so. I get nervous and my hands practically shiver causing my lun to sound damn terrible.
One year back from tomorrow was our CO SYF day. Brings back ol memories eh. But too bad I cannot read back the post at my DX. its gone. ):
