Appealing to all of you to practice regularly (not asking u to spam) even amidst the tests.. Do expect EXTRA SECTIONALS to be held just for violists after test week (will be confirming schedule at later date) plus.. we will be holding your beloved ASSESSMENTS!
fyi, there will be 2 rounds of assessments (1 assessment for each piece/round) we'll be assessing you and giving comments for improvement after the first round and your seating arrangement for syf will be decided based on the 2nd assessment hope all of you will do well!
On a side note, do listen more to recordings & try to understand the 2 syf pieces well here's a video of Britten.. the version closest to what we're playing that i can find. EnJoY!
