Heyhey tanbo!
Good going for today's dazu! At least we managed to get through molou but there's STILL a lot of room for improvement. I guess you all know where you should improve, but sometimes the root of the problem is jibengong issues...which can't be solved within a few days. So yes.
Er some last notes!
Liuqin: Take note of clarity of fast notes, and watch your rhythm. Other than that, you're fine.
Zhongruan: Be careful of your dynamics during dazu, just look at conductor a bit more! And yes don't ganpai, really.
Pipa: Reduce the zayin for your lun by lunning lower. Somehow this cheat method seems to work. Look at the conductor, esp for molou. It's ESSENTIAL. We just love to ganpai la.
And yeah watch your high notes for molou: the way you press the pin3. Ganjue also extremely lacking in hongloumeng.
Anyway ah when we play banzou we STILL cannot control the loudness and softness of the stuff we play, so jiayou for that. Huobajie also got this problem. I mean, give the soloists a chance luhh.
The sound of the music we produce is kind of hard and unfeeling sometimes. Learn to relax and listen to what the other sections are playing. It's very important because we're playing as an orchestra, not individuals....
Alright, playing aside:
1) Sleep well before saturday (if possible)
2) Put on facial masks! For people with pimple probems, it will definitely help yes!
3) Don't overstress yourself. Control your emotions and state of mind.
4) Don't tire your wrists out too much.
5) Please don't play until your fingers bleed.
(:
In short, TAKE GOOD CARE OF YOURSELF and try not to fall sick, despite all the PTs hahs.
This will most probably be my last post before concert...so I'd just like to tell you people to jiayou, and just go out there and do your best!
Tanbo: we are THE root of love.
