my fingers are all red now, as usual. since i just had guitar prac a few hours ago. lol. today was so much better, and productive, as compared to monday's prac. but somehow, i feel that in guitar ensemble, everyone is only doing their own stuff, except the SLs who come over to teach us occasionally when we need their help. this so isn't what i expected when i went for the interview, hoping to get accepted by ge. i thought the practices would be like hb pracs in sec school, where all of us train like crazy for the syf 1.5 years in advance, the rigorous practices we had and skills drilling. not that i want the practices to be so hiong la, but it's like up till now when we were given a brand new song to learn many of us encountered some difficulties in our finger positioning. i still rmb in sec sch, even though almost all of us totally didn't have any hb bg, we were all able to master the skills and play it properly by the end of a few months, and the team spirit is there, cos everyone's working towards a common goal. but in ge, the atmosphere is kinda cold, especially when you enter the sr and you see everyone busy doing their own stuff, and the only people who really talk to you are your really close friends in the cca. the snr ensemble people are more close w one another, same goes for the junior ensemble, and the comm people just cliqued tgt.. up till now, there are still many ge members whom ive never spoken to at all, for the past 4 or 5 mths. wth la, can this even be considered as a cca.. the pro people do not have to wry, cos they will be able to master the pieces in a short timespan, but what about the junior ensemble ppl? have your spared a thought as to how hard we have to struggle to catch up with your pace?? im not saying that the snr ensemble ppl are selfish la, but it's like during every prac, you can see most of the jnr ensemble ppl stuggling lyk siao to memorise all the notes and position of chords etc, but many of the snr ensemble ppl just slack off. okay la, not that many la, but there ARE definitely at least a few. it just does not seem right la. den when 5.30 comes everyone just packs up and zao. no debrief whatsoever. nobody to comment on our performance, and if this routine is repeated over and over, how are we jnr ensemble ppl ever going to improve on our guitar skills?? another thing that i'm abit unhappy about is that i distinctly rmb someone promising that the guitar room will be left open for us in the morning to leave our guitars inside on days w guitar pracs, but most of the time when we reach the guitar room it's alr been locked, w most of the guitars inside and several outside. wth isn't this even more unsafe than lugging the guitar around the school?? but i don't deny that this is also partially our fault lah, many of us reach school quite late, but shouldn't the guitar room be left open until at least ALL members have deposited our guitars there?? zZ.
okay, the whole chunk abv was just rdm stuff abt guitar that i rly rly wanna say for quite some time.. i srsly hope NO ge member ever sees this, if not, i will be DEAD. arhh. ><
