We did get to see the whole performance on video after all. However, we did not sound as good as we did when we were performing "live" due to the limitations of the built-in camera microphone. We had peer-to-peer grading as well where we rated each other performance(s) on a scale of 1 to 15. We all already had 5 points for being present on the day itself. I wonder how I far...

Cos' I realised that some mistakes I made during my groups' performance were quite obvious. Luckily though, my morning performance (Final Fantasy group), where I used the wrong instrumental sound (harp instead of piano), did not turn out so bad because it fitted the mood of the pieces.

Moving on to another topic, I am going on to page 5 (our of 16) for the piano duo piece Uranus - The Planets (Gustav Holst). Four of us (Jasmine, Tian Hwee, Wei Jie & me) are starting soon on another piece, Jupiter - The Planets (Gustav Holst). The piece was supposed to be a piano duo (two pianos, one person/two hands on each piano), but we're turning it into a piano "quadro" (two pianos, two people/four hands on each piano). I don't know whether it's possible... I know the coordination's gonna be difficult because there are FOUR people playing at once. But we have to try.

Personally, I am also practising my major scales (with proper fingerings) for the upcoming keyboard skills assessment (will move on to natural/harmonic/melodic minor scales soon - I hope). Also in line are Hanon exercises - stuff which I never grew up with because I did not take the traditional classical piano route but the contemporary electone organ path.
