my teacher din let me use the stickers =/ but he let other beginners use. then I have to thank him, cos it's easy for me to find the notes now =)

Lol, i love this sentence the most xD Anyway I'm gonna find a part time job and save up for a viola =)

mayb I'll try some viola here in perth, isit true that msia instruments are more exp? Like those hand made ones. Cos i'm intending to get a new one. =/

hmm, mayb teachers will 'tax' u too, who knows =D they wanna earn too xD

nope sowee~ dunno bout that song, but all the best in the wedding =)

I'm performing 'the prayer' with my church friends in a charity concert in sept =/

open string G to lower B or G on the 3rd string to B on the E string? if its the G to E string B, u can try 3rd position instead of jumping strings?

haha not sure though kimmie, yeah at least the thread is still partially alive ^.^ anyway wanna ask how many orchestras are there in kl =/ apart from the high up MPYO and MPO.

well, its advisable to get a beginners cello first, then after a few years mayb you can get yourself an intermediate one. Having not played cello I guess it's a bit hard to determine what cello you want. Dif ppl have dif opinion on a 'good' cello/string instrument. Depending on alot of things. cannot really explain sorry~


Anyway, just wanna ask, is there any orchestra near bukit jalil? or in KL area apart from MPYO, which I doubt i can get in =/ just wanna play in one if I'm going to KL for studies.

aww

quote: “We need violins, cellos, flute, clarinet, oboe, French horn, trombone, trumpet, saxophone and percussions,” he said.

haha, I'm non of those xD seriously, viola is really an extinct animal =D anyway thanks ya =) I'll look into it. Prolly head to kl to study, if not i'll stay here in perth, which i forgot to apply for their orchestra audition >.<

I'm trying to master my bowing techniques, which sucks badly. my fingering is just so so, haha. any way of mastering bowing techniques? kinda feel like I've been using the incorrect way of holding the bow. and sometimes stacatto is a problem =/ its like very hard to control my bowing.

like teacher like student xD ok i'll try scales to help my bowing. i'm seriously having probs with my bowing techniques.

friends all say piano is the BASIS of music, which i disagree in someways. haha. Havent been touching my viola, busy with school work =( wanna master my viola b4 moving on to a new instru, prolly a woodwind - Oboe or piccolo, or i can always make my self bankrupt by buying a harp! haha.

oh, nah, i just disagree that my friend said that piano is the basis of music. hmm, is it? *though i started piano b4 my string instruments*

first time sight reading: hit the right notes
2nd time sight reading: emphasize bit on techniques xD
and it goes on.

Oh when I listen to world class violist playing I feel so bad cos I know I cant reach that standard, not in another 5-10 years =/ haha

went back to orchestra in my area here =) feels good to play classical songs again. didn't have the chance to play much when I was studying abroad last year

haven been here for quite a while. How's everyone doing? I havent touched my viola since 2 months ago >< hope its not 'rusting' away =( Cant really find much viola pieces T.T All violin pieces only.

welcome to the family =D yesh, age doesnt matter in music! =) I'm gonna go learn harp with I have sufficient money. lol~ prob need wait till I'm mid 30s or 40s too =/

I'm from miri. try to look for the learning center symphony, my teacher is there. He's called James Lau. =) He also conducts the MOCS orchestra every sunday. (I'm overseas studying now =( miss the times in miri)

am I the only violist here? =( sad sad. Anyways, thinking of getting a better viola, any recommendation where to get one? KL-cheras area. =)

Nope, i'm proud to be a violist, and i love viola. =D Love the sound esp ^^ Yesh i can read auto cleft. Well, just that we don't have much solo pieces to play on, cos a lot of the solo / concerto pieces are written for violin only. =( But still, i'm happy that I'm a violist =D

lol, normaly when i say "I play the Viola", they will go like "u play a what? violin?" haha. Face it, everyone knows bout violin, and cello, probably double bass, but not viola. xD
