alrights,shall update on my audition in nafa..
basically it was fine..the theory paper was relatively easy..a one hour paper. i tried my very best writing as neatly as possible(cos im usually messy in writing musical‭ notes), so i used‭ up the entire hour. saw a fren in nafa.he had passed his audition already..he updated me on a lot of stuff abt nafa..after that was the practical audition..my sis and i was given a room to practice before the test..
then come my turn for the audition..i tried to keep a calm composure and help my sis calm down too..
the examiners( 2 of them) were all ang mos..they only heard through half of my first piece and asked me to proceed to the next one..to save time i guess? the 2nd piece was always the most insecure one as the piano part was rather challenging. but luckily before we could get to the challenging part, we were told to stop and the examiners tested me on sight reading..
o gosh it was hard! like diploma standard like that.. i had to start over a few times with the examiner telling me there was no E flat, and tapping the rhythm for me while i play..
as for the aural.. i was damn shocked when the examiner only tested me on singing a single right hand melody..i was expecting the kind of aural i'll get in grade 8, singing the bass line of a complicated melody..so when he was playing.. my mind was actually thinking what was i actually supposed to do..it was later then i realised that it was only as simple as singing..
the examiners remarked that my intonation was perfectly alright, there wasn't much problem except for sight reading..which i can get practices in the orchestra..they even asked which nafa teacher had i have in mind to teach me..
i was stunned as i dono i get to have individual lessons from nafa teachers too.. well so from this conversation i guess i kind of pass the audition already, but i couldn't be too sure yet though..have to wait for abt a week for their mail..

anw on my way to nafa for the audition, i got to thank dear for his well wishes(in fact he already express his encouragement the day before), and oso to sooty too for wishing me all the best..

shall post till here..nights^^
