Went watch movie stardust. quite okay. saw other people. went home. bought the music theory grade 1 – 5 $6 only. cheap.
Run to library they don’t have the music practical/theory grade 5. Run to popular don’t have. Run to YAHAMA MUSIC SCHOOL. HAVE. Some guidebook grade 1 to 5. Its better to start from 1 rather than reading grade 5 and couldn’t understand a thing.
Yesterday talked to Mr Lee, Siglap Philharmonic Choir conductor. He said ‘ it’s always better to have grade 5 in practical/theory that’s the bare minimum to start in music career’ Getting the qualification is half and the other half is having a wide network so able to find jobs easily. So yea, go to a music exhibition and ask for everyone’s number.
Ohh he also mention that the NAFA’s Access Course(Music) is tough. It’s like a crash course for music lover with no background. That sound pretty scary. Furthermore, that course isn’t cheap it is nearly $2000. For those bloody morons who think that is cheap GO TO HELL. X) Sponsor me ?
I’m just scared half way through the course i couldn’t cope and drop out. I’ll be wasting the money. I can do better things with that money, like fulfilling my wish list.
‘there are many many talented people out there those who did music since primary school blessed to learn music eat live and breathe music since young. you have the gifted ones who don’t need much effort to be good in music’ said Mr Lee.
What about me? I’m 16. SIGH. but he said its never too late to start. That is the reason why i bought the music theory guidebook. I’m still reading grade 1. Yes i know that O levels are not finish yet for me that is. I should concentrate on O levels first. READ A WHILE LAH -.-
He said, if i can digest grade 5, try considering it. I’m scared to flip through the grade 5 page. What if i can’t digest ANYTHING. I’m so doom. FORGET ABOUT PURSUING CAREER IN THIS SECTOR. SADD. It shows another thing, I’M BLOODY FREAKISHLY RETARDED. I’M GOOD FOR NOTHING. GO DIE LAH.
Seriously, its sad. I’ve to face the reality, i’m a dumbfuck. And yes kamelia, there is a test to enter into the diploma of music. I emailed NAFA yesterday and i’ve received a reply. I forgot some of my questions but one of them was.. will it clash with the april intake because i asked a senior 2 years older than me, when it was her time poly starts on 24 april. A senior 1 year older than me, starts on 12 april. Perhaps mine will start ealier?
If you would like to apply for our Access Course, you may not need to meet the certification of Grade 8 practical and Grade 5 theory. However, you will be tested along to that music standard.
For Diploma course, most of our applicants are ready to challenge up to the minimum requirements as the audition screening is stricter. Therefore, the access course would act as a preparatory level for applicants who feel they’re not up to the diploma standard.
We have no guarantees if the access course would end just before the intake with polytechnics as we schedule our courses in such a way that it would sync with our Diploma course.
I DON’T HAVE ANY MUSIC BACKGROUND. I’M MAKING A FOOL OUT OF MYSELF.
I should just forget about this career. I’m stupid. Annoyed and sad. I should set some more realistic goals.
I’m gonna burn that music theory book with my other o level books.
I must be fucking insane or drunk when i said i wanted to be a conductor.
