Hello everyone....first and foremost, congratulations to all JC1s for your excellent results. For those who did'nt do as well as you had expected, no worries....there are plenty more opportunities to excel. Do hope that all of you (JC1 ) decide to stay in NJC and be a part of NJC Angklung Ensemble. Once again, congrats to all.
We are planning to hold a Music appreciation workshop for all our current members ( if super seniors want to attend then I think we are ok with it too). The aim of this workshop is to introduce Music to all of you. Not only music but most importantly, how to
appreciate and "feel" the music. There will be physical activities involved during the workshops and some guests speakers and performers will be present too.
We hope that after this workshop, all of us will be able to appreciate the music that we are listening or playing.And most importantly, we will be able to transmit the new found feeling into the way we play our Angklung and thus making our practice session more enjoyable and our music more "soulful" and alive.
The workshop is schedule to take place on the 24th February during or Saturday practice. As of now, we are still trying to get a suitable venue that enable us to carry out the activities efficiently.
So, clear your calendar for that day(in fact you should have cleared it since last year!!). Attendance is compulsory for all cos, we are only as strong as our weakest link...so, there is no point if even 1 is absent cos in Angklung, everyone makes a difference.
So, will update you guys again on the workshop.
Cheers
