Woo I'm finally relieved from academic work. Now there's time to practice my playing and other things. Really time to catch up on many things because I haven't been very focused this semester. Well it's time to rev up!

Orchestra concert is over! It was a good effort from everyone so well done! However, our season is not done because we still have to play for the RCM signing ceremony. I wish I could have the extra time though. Now I've downsized my exam repertoire to something quite manageable so I really need to make it work well. 1 month to do it! I've updated my 'Upcoming Performance' section so check it out and attend the concert!

People, please do come for NAFA Orchestra's concert on Tuesday! Details are on the left. It'll be worth your time and it's free admission! So do come down!

I really feel like getting Thayer valves for my instrument. After playing the Getzen 3062 on Thursday, I really miss the evenness and openness that the valves can give. Well according to Fredi, Meinlschmidt is making a Thayer valve so hopefully it's in production soon and I can see if I want to get my instrument fitted with them. I want the even and open feel but I still want to keep the colour and flexibility that my instrument can provide.

Woohoo! I'm just a confirmation away from going to Italy for Italian Brass Week! Gonna be loads of fun and learning there!
