today's a stressful day, but a good day.

a good day for my hands, that is.

its been a looonnggg time since i've been able to play properly.
note i didn't say "its been a long time since i've been able to play well"

even playing properly's good for me. mygosh.



btw, i'll post drnoob concubine photos one day maybe. and i'll blog about today. my friend dropped her xxx into the bin, it made me laugh :D




anyway! tips for playing the piano properly [esp when your exam is a day away and you still suck at scales and aural. big time]

*actually you don't have to care about them. its just for me to take note of a few years later when i take my next exam, haha*


1) don't care about aural first. you can mug that on the way.

2) have a good shower. wash your hair and put loads of soap so you'll smell nice and you'll feel refreshed

3) have your dinner, you can't play on an empty stomach!

4) ask your mommy to massage your arms and shoulders so they'll be relaxed! :D

5) sleep for 10 minutes

6) wake up feeling slightly sleepy, then brush your teeth with loads of nice smelling toothpaste and wash your face with cold water!

7) calm yourself down, don't think about the bio test which you've not even touched. its just a bio test, your exam tomorrow is much more important

8) start warming your fingers up by playing scales [from the back of the book to the front]

9) after half an hour of scales, you're ready to play your fast/emo pieces!

10) take a deep breathe, sing the first few bars to get a feel of how fast you want your song to be, and stay focused, if you're in the examination room, pretend you're having a normal good day piano practice in the air con room

11) start playing! you'll be surprised that you'll be able to play what you normally can't play, normally due to fatigue and all.

12) lastly, have a nice time, enjoy yourself, be emo when you need to, give "light" songs "light" feel, especially those in classical periods i guess.




and yes, note to self, i'm dead for aural, but nevermind! i'll worry about that later!

my bio is worse, i'll worry about that later too!



first piece - sonata in E, don't hold notes for too long! hmm, just play ba.

second piece - allegro, its the classical period so don't use pedals! put more emotion into the song!

third piece - notturno, don't hold pedal for too long, rubato can be used, make your crescendo and decrescendo obvious. melody should be obvious. join notes together. express yourself freely and just play!



maybe i can only play third piece, although its still not too good T.T



rarr nevermind! i'll go playplayplay and try recording, cause cameras can act as the examiner and at the same time let me review myself haha..




crap post la, goodnight i'm not going to do much to bio sorry miss poh.
