Just came back from the 'rehersal' for tomorrow's piano recital. Saw most of my teacher's other students. Haha, I didn't know I was one of the tallest... But most of them are younger than me, I think. Anyway... most of them played quite well. Some not so well, and Ms Kwong asked those to practise a lot tomorrow. Everytime I heard that, I said to myself, "better play perfectly afterwards".
But I didn't. The duet- sigh... I played normally for most parts... but stumbled a lot in a later section. I didn't know we were supposed to play that fast. Oh well.. practise, practise.... Or maybe I should tell my partner to slow down...
After a not so encouraging duet performance... I was looking forward to redeeming myself in my two solos. But I didn't. I played Yesterday too fast (no wrong notes or stopping, luckily), and I sort of stopped at the climax of the second piece. Sigh...
I'm sure I wasn't that nervous... not as nervous as during the practical exams, I'm sure. Maybe it's 'cos it was cold. Maybe...
About the rest of the students... my teacher arranged the performances in increasing order of 'skill', I think. I'm one of the last few. I wasn't really very impressed with those who performed before me... but the few who were after me- WOAH. Damn pro. I wonder if I'll ever reach that level. I just can't imagine myself playing pieces like that, haha.
More bad news- I have to wear a tie tomorrow. Ms Kwong said it's 'cos my shirt is a plain solid colour, with no pattern. Aargh. Tie. Dammit. I'm not that sure about long sleeved shirts, but TIES- I've definitely never worn one in my whole life. I just hope wearing long sleeves and a tie won't affect my performance...
To do list for tomorrow:
Practise
Practise
Practise
Practise
repeat from top.
