Practice = Progression

Monday night was yet, another practice for this upcoming concert. I must say that I am pleased with the way things are going. Everyone wants to learn and perfect their part (at least, that's how it seems). On a night where I had very little energy, I came out of it feeling re-energized; a second wind. On top of that, I have to hurry up with this new arrangement and get it done for everyone to learn. Lots to do in a short amount of time; move quick and make minimal mistakes. If mistakes are made; fix them quickly and move on. This is how I like it although some people are not used to it. The pressure is present to learn and be creative in a short amount of time, yet this kind of pressure can be the mother of invention.

Practice again

Wow, it's been 10 days since my last post. Well, when you get busy with a few things, it can be hard keeping your blog in check. Anyway, I just came back from another choir practice where we got to take a look at the chart that I had transcribed. It when very well although it was tough to have a good feel of the song without all the members at the practice. Go figure, a complete alto section was MIA. Anyway, I jumped on that part to help the others find theirs. All in all; not too bad. I'm really impressed with the progress that most of us are making on this part. I better start working more on my part than enjoying the fun parts that the others get to do.

Practice Time

About a month ago, I had transcribed a choral piece for the folk group/choir. Last night, a bunch of us got together to give it a go. Overall, it went well. We got through a good chunk of it and with a bit of work, it should be ready for the concert in May. Hopefully we keep ploughing through it.
