I'm penning down the reflections which I shared with you yesterday evening.

I hope that everyone remembers this. Individually, as a singer, you need to get your pitch right. You have to constantly reflect upon where you normally go wrong and tackle the problem. If you are unable to, please do approach Mr Hu for help. However, there is no substitute for hard work. You need to know your part so well you can sing it while sleeping.

Some of you here are still not paying attention during practices. Section Leaders and Presidents have to be on the look out for this. Section leaders should be the first to remind fellow section members to pay attention. Let the choir presidents handle uncooperative members. 

I will be requesting Mr Hu to test your singing by having one member per section to sing. Get ready for that. Remember that individually, you need to know and hold your notes.

Please note that we will start Friday practices from next week onwards from 1.15pm to 4.15pm. I understand that some of you have concern about the amount of time spend for choir practices. You will then have to consider how you can make each and every training session and effective one. Everyone of you can start by doing your homework, learn and sing your part as well as remember the points which Mr Hu has given. (your diction, dynamics, breathing etc) If you are able to do that, you'll hear an improvement for every training session. If that's the case, we will not require extra sessions. 

I have made a promise that I'll stop Friday Sessions if I'm satisfied with your performance during Tuesday and Thursday training session. As such, each and everyone of you needs to have moral courage to advice uncooperative members to be more cooperative as their actions results in undesirable consequences for you.

Have a nice weekend.

Mr Chong
