Yakatty Yak....

Just to update all of you. When Hadi, Sze Ping, Yung Zhen and Josephine went for the audition at the Republic Poly, the judges were amazed at their playing. The judges commented that they played very well and they never expected that to come from primary school guitarists. I take that as a compliment and a milestone for us all.

By the way, here's a picture (below) that Jasmine Yee (our section leader) drew. I think it's beautiful so I thought I'll share it with you all... Feel free to drop her comments to encourage her in her artistic talents.

What is your experience in Fuchun Guitar Ensemble so far?

I love it! I have many friends and lots of fun during guitar practice. The friends are great but the guitar practice is boring. The guitar practice is great but i don't like the people there. I hate it! I am forced to join/stay on in the Ensemble.

Throat Singing, A Mysterious Music Art

Hi Peoples,

I stumbled upon this mysterious and marvellous way of making music. It's called throat singing, a technique which originated from Central Asia (I think). The person is able to make two different sounds at the same time using his throat. Whoaaa...

The first time I came across this was when I was watching this Japanese Swordfighting Fantasy movie called "Dororo". Below is this segment of the movie where the background music is done by throat singers called Huun Huur Tu.



Cool huh? If you think that's cool, check this guys out.




Nobody in my 27 years of life told me anything about throat singing....
The more you learn, the less you realise you know... Amazing....
