heyy (:
Guess what? I’m going to post an e-sectional on faking. Firstly, there are several kinds of a fake, you have those used during orchestra rehearsals, performances hmm and last but not least your viola lesson (:< hahaha. BUT, I’m not going to cover anything bout the viola lesson part. (later you all learn then don’t practise for lesson, Dr Yeo will kill me and I’m sure none of you want it to happen, do you?) (:
Faking during orchestra rehearsal
If for some reason you never practise your parts and end up having to sight read during rehearsals, this is the ultimate guide for you. 4 easy steps! (:
Make sure you have minimal rosin on your bow.
Remember to look up at Mr Chan and your SL and ASL to make sure you have the correct bowings. (Don’t be soo dumb as to stare at them throughout, it’ll be pretty obvious.) (;
Try to play the notes.
All the best, and may you not get caught (:
Now that we have come to the end of the faking during rehearsal part, I shall bring you to the world of faking during performance.
Faking during performanceOnly applicable if you are as pro as me! Hahaha, yea lar, I know I broke my g 3 minutes before that gig and had to col legno all the way. Yea, soo the only thing left to do was to flip my bow the other way and use the wood and bounce. Boing boing! Oh and make sure you have all four strings, which means attach that bloody broken string back onto your viola. Yea, and remember to pray, pray that the camera don’t catch you. Well, I guess I survived last Friday. (;
Last but not least,
Faking during lesson.
