i skipped band today. tired lahh. had a super good rest at home and only woke up at 2 pm. i know. no need to clap. i rawkk. didnt do much today. moped. msged my darlings. ate. watched a bit of tv. and finished harry potter and the chamber of secrets.

oh and i ate a lot today. hahaha. probably to make up for the days when i skipped my meals. and time passed so slowly today. when you're in band. time is like super fast can? whether you're teaching or playing. by the time you finish attacking one song at least an hour has passed. sighhs.

thursday's teaching was SUPER. i finished three songs. the problem bits were only the rhythms. and their dynamics. spent nearly most of the morning on i know him so well - selections from chess. WAHHHHH. nearly killed me lahhs ): first time the first got problems. lol. made them do it again and again. they got it done in abt 20 minutes? and then the second played. took her faster. abt 10 mins. but she had problems counting the two beat rest. WAHHHHH. nearly tear my hair out. nearly made her cry also.

first and second played together. WAHHHHH. cannot play together cause second always forgot to count her two beat rest. worked at it. finally got it down pat. and then worked on the thirds. they took some time to get their low Eb. nelson cant get it - no trigger and arms too short. kai hoe got it but not enough air. sighhs. worked super long on their rhythms.

took some time for them to play together. then asked my second and thirds to play together. WAHHHHH. cannot play together ): took more time cause my second cant seem to rmb to count her two beat rest. so i walked over to conduct them. then walked back. and my slipper slipped off and i hurled a string of expletives let out a small scream and some auntie-like exclamation. sent my thirds into giggles.

i made them write - dont laugh! dont rmb miss riah's slipper! - on their score. hahaha. zzz. but it lightened the mood. laugh laugh laugh. and then the whole section together. WAHHHHH. cannot play together. first forget their rhythm - HALF BEAT REST SHORTER! second forgot her two beat rest and the thirds cant stop laughing.

sighhs.

after much work. SO PERFECT! yay! i rawkk again! (:

patience is everything. slowly slowly does it. you'll get what you want in the end. i love teaching cann? (:

much bitching with mai when i reached home. abt the usual. haha. cleared things up a little. AND THEN THE REAL BITCHING STARTS (: blahhs. all i can say is that you really arent fit to be in that line of profession. its such a disgrace can? you put others in that line to shame. smearing their face in mud and having their names trampled upon. shudders.
