Second Practice Session

All right, guys! We made it through A minor, and now we'll probably be having pass-offs on G major by next week. Arce, you better work on your Am!!! Bb and B are going to be the hardest ones, so even if you can't play it straight away without mistakes, it's good to know how the sound of major and minor keys generally sound, okay?

On another note, I won't be here this Friday thanks to MUN Locals, so I can't guarantee a practice session. I've talked it over with Anna and we've agreed that a practice session can take place next week (hopefully with all members present) so we can polish our viola skills. I hope you guys are available next Tuesday, since my Friday next week will be occupied with the first official Anime Club meeting, of which I'm currently vice-president. If not, let's talk it over so I know when you guys are free.

If you guys want to practice this Friday as well by yourselves after school, I encourage you to do so! Jeff and Anna can take charge, so you guys can practice Rosas Pandan, especially the measures which have Es and Bs, since the key is in E flat and B flat. The spiccato in Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest can also be further improved if you guys have time.

Regardless, let's all practice hard this weekend and come back better violists for next week. Remember, Pista sa ISM is only a month away, so the two Filipino pieces have to be worked on as much as possible until then.
