hey everybody.

First we have to welcome the latest additions to the viola section! they have kindly downgraded help us sound better so obviously we should thank them right? Its the cny holidays and we sure do have some time to practise, don't we? (*hint* i know the answer is no but just say you practised). I gotta post this week so just read even if you're already thinking of ignoring it.
A-Passage-A-Week activity.. in short aPAW.

So the aPAW for this week is A Williams figure 2 with focus on the first four bars.

1. play the three doted chrochets after the cellos play their pp note.
2. play them Sfz. meaning with vigour and suddenly.
3. Note the second bar of figure 2 does not have SFz.
4. After the third note, quickly resume the original rhythm of 4 quavers and 1 crochet. Ignore the cellos if they play 5 quavers, alternatively you can tell them the violas are right for the first time.
5. During the dim bar, start with F first then you can P properly later. If you don't start F-ing then you can't P.

Thanks. for reading.

Happy cny, enjoy your holidays and ignore what I just said if you don't feel like practising.

i love you,

jiaquan the hot.
