I need a BF!
So well, i’ve asked questions and got my mails replied almost instantly, like as if he doesn’t need to sleep. Typical musician eh? More likely, i’ve gathered he is just a year older than me and he’s crazily good. For my questions answered, you’ve gotta read this below.
The scholarships vary, so I can’t say how much one can get and what the probability of getting one is now, for it’s pretty competitive here. Are you a classically trained pianist or a contemporary keyboardist btw? Extreme cases I meant was when you get to school: There are students who should not be in this school as some are already accomplished musicians in their own right and may even surpass the teachers, and there are the other spectrum: Those who can afford the tuition fees and pay with family funds, and then end up screwing around and may not even be able to read music well. Trust me, it’s pretty strange, but hey, education is a business! lol. Sometimes it may be daunting at first, but if you have a focused mind, then anythings possible.(this sound excatly the same as what DY and ELF told me). I never expected to come this far myself, especially when I first started.
Lol don’t freak out! Quote: “AHH (with multiple exclamation marks)”.
After NS, I took about almost a year off, teaching mainly and working on my chops (everyone says the same thing - DY, ELF, KL) before going to school and did the auditions during that time… I did it in KL, ICOM.
Plans after graduation? Lol… Too much to mention. I’m starting up my own company and will be working with Mr Tan and a couple of other conductors, and eventually do my masters and phd in education. Also working on setting up a latin jazz band and doing a couple of collaborative projects and cutting an album next year, I’ll also be performing here and there and doing clinics in asia and other places, some other hush hush projects for now, and then some…. and go back home to practice and play computer games. Lol.
Like what I’m gonna be doing? Definitely I will say! How many people get to say that they get to do something that they love doing as their jobs everyday (and get paid)? Haha, if I thought that I would not like what I was doing, I would not have even set foot at Berklee, and would have ended up doing computer science instead. Good thing I didn’t…. *phew*
Btw, did we ever meet at CNL? Something tells me that I’ve met you at least once before with Mr Tan around.
Ramu
Goes back to square 1 again. I’m reconsidering on this issue about craftwork. What nonsense secondary instrument do i have? I’ve done a little of this, and that and this and that, and i can play anything but the guage of Good isn’t even on par with any standards expected.
Great. Ramu, u’re the man. Cheerios to many more music makers! LH u should meet him - UR beloved victoria senior!
