Ok SAS orchestra concert is over. Didn't feel so good about it. Definitely not a good performance from me. Have got to push my concentration and playing levels higher! Well, next performance for now will be the Brass Society Brass Band at Botanic Gardens, again. But this time the stage is shared with the Desford Colliery Band and a big band so it'll be interesting. It's free by the way so make it a point to come!

Exams are over! Once again I finally have the time to start playing in other ensembles and practicing with the knowledge that I don't have academic work to do. Liberation feels good. I'll be playing for an orchestral concert with the Singapore American School Orchestra with string and woodwind players from their high school. Should be fun. Some details are up on the left in my 'Upcoming Performance' section. See you there!

Just over one more week to my practical exam! Well at least the little recital the brass players held just now didn't go too badly. Quite a few things I can improve on but overall I'm a little, just a little bit surprised about my playing. Hearing a recording is so so much more different than hearing yourself on stage. Really puts you in perspective of the actual listener, especially sound-wise. Well one more week to work on my playing and to get through theory and aural exams. All the best to everyone!
