CHUNYIN'S BAICHI WALKING

Yangqin ( dulcimers) over the world

CO Member of the Month: Yong Jun

Yong Jun

COngratulations to Yong Jun! You've won yourself the CO Member of the Month position! Now you ask, wasn't it CO Member of the Week? Well, it was only a matter of time before someone realized that there weren't enough CO members for one CO member a Week, and that someone happened to be me! Okay, let's give the spotlight back to Yong Jun.


Yong Jun
Age: Older than a JY
Height: Taller than a JY
Weight: Heavier than a JY

YJ is one of the few people keeping yangqin afloat, after Wenqiang left, with Mok totally slacking and Johnathan still sec 2. Sadly Yong Jun is leaving after June for Shanghai, and he's bringing his yangqin along. Next year, Mok will the the sec 4 yangqin player ZOMG and Gilbert will be gone, so it's safe to say that yangqin will be just Johnathan and the 2 sec ones.

Yong Jun teaching the sec ones!

JY!!!

论琵琶

大弦嘈嘈如急雨，小弦切切如私语。
嘈嘈切切错杂弹，大珠小珠落玉盘。

这是唐代诗人白居易的长诗《琵琶行》。
“琵琶”本作：“批把”是弹奏的动作。右手向前弹曰“琵”向后弹曰“琶”。我国公元前214年曾出现两种琵琶，一种形似鼓的弹拨乐器叫“弦”；另一种是直柄、圆形音箱的弹拨乐器叫阮咸。到了公元350年以后，由印度传入一种形似截梨，曲颈四弦的“曲项琵琶”，成为现代琵琶的前身。隋、唐时代，琵琶在我国已广为流行。
琵琶其形如纵截的梨，有琴头、琴颈、面板、背板、弦轴、缚弦和琴弦等部件组成，旧时的琵琶四品六相，现在发展到六相十八品、二十四品、二十五品和二十八品琵琶，并按十二平均律排列。
琵琶的音域宽广，近四个八度。其音色丰富，低音浑厚，中音柔和，高音清脆。行家历来要求琵琶应具有尖、堂、松、脆、爆种效果，很讲究金石之声铿锵动人肺腑。其研制技巧十分丰富，右手由弹、挑、匀、抹、剔、提、摘、滚、轮等三十多种；左手由泛、吟、搂、打、煞、绞、推、拉等十多种。
著名的琵琶曲有《十面埋伏》、《夕阳箫鼓》、《月儿高》、《霓裳羽衣曲》等。

New directive: attendance and conduct

This is from Ren Yan:

In short, attendance WILL be taken. No ponning or coming late to practice without accepted reasons. RICO is our core CCA, so have more ownership in it.

---

Dear all,

This is primarily directed at SLs, but I'd like all of you to see it as well.

In alignment with our directive to tighten discipline as a large core CCA, we will be implementing stricter rules with regard to attendance.

With effect from 21st Jan (next Monday's sectionals), all SLs will take attendance during practice and send an sms to myself by 9pm, with a list of absentees and excuses (if any).

Practice excuse forms will be finalized one last time and will become mandatory by February.

All SLs are required to send attendance for their charges for all practices this year to date - the 5th, 7th, 12th and 14th of January - to Samuel as well as myself ( tdaoming@yahoo.com.sg and yoongrenyan@gmail.com) by this Sunday.

We will be doing the necessary tracking, and figuratively hunting down those who choose to absent themselves at their own will.

Appropriate actions will be taken and implemented along with the demerit point system by the March holidays.

We cannot tolerate members who persistently waive their obligation to this CCA.

We trust that members will be responsible enough to tell us of any other commitments warranting missing practice as early as possible.

Thank you all for your cooperation.

Regards,
Ren Yan

A New Year.

Tanbo, lets start anew shall we? A new year comes with a new start. And new rules.

Since we have a new teacher, it would be rather appropriate to give ourselves a chance to start anew and keep the teacher-student relationship good, since ahem last year our sectionals weren't exactly the best that we could have.

1. Be punctual. (Ok try to be punctual, I know the RJCCO room is farrrrrrrr away). Make sure you reach the classroom latest 3.45.

2. Greet the teacher. Be it in Chinese or English or (Mr Seetoh knows cantonese btw) what-have-you, please greet. Even a "Hi Mr Seetoh" would be great.

3. Start preparing (tuning and de-rusting your strings) straightaway. I don't really understand why some of you can stone and stare blankly in the air even when the teacher is right in front of you. If you need some time to settle down after the walk from RJC, at least pretend to start preparing =).

4. Sit in sections. (As far as possible, sit together as a section, be it Zhongruan section or whatver. Looking out for each other's mistakes and having xiao-xiao-zu together is good =).

5. Be on your best behaviour at all times =). Sectionals are precious time for practice. If you haven't realized, RICO is having two practices are week compared to most ccas with 3, so treasure your time in sectionals. Lets try as hard as possible to obtain a clean sheet this year! That is, zero (teacher-walking-out-in-anger-and-students-feeling-at-loss situations).

=) =) =) Last week was full attendance for tanbo! At least minus yangqin section, who hmmm I believe are at hard work too. So keep it up! =) =) =)

Rock on.

New Teacher!

Yay. Say hi to Tanbo's new Teacher! Mr Seetoh.

Chunyin's teacher.

Regarding Next Practice

Just a gentle reminder.

There IS practice on Sat (5/1). Dazu. Starts from 2.00 pm for Tanners. 3-4.15 is Self-Practice for all. (We are playing 家家乐.) 4.15-5 will be the shifting of instruments. As there will be Raffles Trail later on, please cooperate with Mr Lim as he rehearses the pieces from 5-5.30, as last year's Sec 4s are now JC1s and I don't think they will come back. 5.30-6.30 is dinner break. Please remember to be back punctually.

Please remember to wear proper school uniform and tie as this is a formal occasion. Sec 3s can't wear Long Pants until after OBS. This will end at 7.45 at the latest, then we will proceed to shifting instruments back to RJCO room.
