9/7/2011

James- absent

Ruvisha- haven't receive her recording from me. Her standard now, adequate. Pieces, checked. Scales, so so lo. Sight reading, not a clue... must pay attention on this section for the last few days

Nick- learns to read notes even with bow. progressing.

Tong Zhe Xin- not much of a progress. still on beginner mood. teaching straight bowing and bow hand's control, starting to understand.

Damia- taught her straight bowing today. also to differentiate, and control her bow hand's strength. Robot and a girl singing. promised her: 1 week theory, 1 week violin.

Amirul- progressing well. checking if he can be in grade 2 now.
amirul:

know straight bowing (teaching)
good in sight reading
knows GDAE
knows slur
good sense of music, able to play in duo

coming up:
shifting him to Grade 1
scales of grade 1, grade 2

Christopher: not confident at all. pieces: so so. sight reading: haven't touch at all. scales: C, F, A, G, Bflat, A, D, G minor, on the way. internal war now. so worried for his performance in the exam.

Xue Ying: luckily it's prep test. everything is so so. she can't remember all 3 the pieces.

Katelynn: doing good, looking good. sight reading, pieces, scales: all confident.

Chew Ming: did theory today. he did not understand what was taught before, causing him to not know what's going on today. I forced him to recognize and memorize symbols.

Ziqi: practicing straight bowing. not good at sight reading: in training now.


to do:
urgent: plan weeks to come to counter the exam
later: arrange concert piece
