it is amazing. just simply amazing how music can simply do anything to alter your mood. how it can soothe you when ur down. how it can suddenly make life seem more meaningful. and how. simply. it can make u sit and listen to hours and wonder abt nothing at all. its a good feeling. and yes. all this said while listening to pieces played by shuqun and tanglin band. pieces played by many other top bands in singapore. true. a few boo boos made. trumpets unable to pitch. wrong notes.

yet it made my hair stand.

the emotion injected into each piece made each boo boo seem insignificant and non existent. the similarity of two different bands under one conductor is simply amazing. ms doreen tan is a wonder. how much emotion can really go into a piece? more often than not. music takes more than simply the conductor telling you where to crescendo. where to forte piano. emotions doesnt come frm dynamics.

it comes from you.

fall in love with a piece. give your best. and its a piece well played. ms tan's band have never failed her. and they shouldnt. true. at times she can be unreasonable. and moody. but dont let your playing affect your band just because you and her dont agree on sth. ahh shucks.

music is wonderful.
