http://www.suriafm.com.my/suriashowdown.html

tahniah lah kat diorang, gempak gile. ak ni bile la nk masuk battle besar2 camtuh.. haha.. xkesahlah, kalo ade rezeki adela, kalo x, stay focus on my target to be a

LECTURER!!

THE SECOND EPISODE!

okay berbalik kepada cerita asal, err, sambongan daripada episod yang lepas

(*sumpah ak rase cam bodo n poyo plak leapas type ayat ni,haha)

performance dalam kelas forum kan kan kan?? okay, at first, i also think that we have to sing and play guitar for the performance but NO!

kitorang just kene perform, Major Instrument kitorang jek.. hehe

okay kat sini diorang panggil PRINCIPAL INSTRUMENT , maknenye instrument yg kitorang pilih sbg major instrument lah.. ala, macam nk jadi cikgu gak,

ade major and minor subject kan? lebih kurang gitu la..

so, kalo yg amek violin tu, die kene la perform main violin, kalo yg amek vokal, kene la nyanyi, kalo yg ambil mudah plak, kene

la repeat sem depan!! haha =p

aku??

okay, my principal instrument is PERCUSSION!

mula-mula ak ingat percussion ni just main drum jek,, but then, peh, baru ak tau,

percussion means, every instrumen that was played by hitting it, is called PERCUSSION!
maknenye,

aku kene blaja macam2 instrument lah! haha..

drum, conga, marimba, timpani, and macam2 lagi!!

ni ha instrumen2 yg dimaksodkan....

CONGA

MARIMBA

TIMPANI

okay ni baru sebahagian jek.. ade banyak lagi.. maleh nk letak byk2.. hehe..

yang paling kelakar ialah bila lecturer principal ak cakap,

"okay sem 1 ni kite belajar snare sahaja..."

korg tau apetu snare? snare is one of a drumset part.. ala, yg bunyi paling kuat tuh....

haish?? xtau gak??

ni hah full labelled diagram.. korg carik la mane satu snare.. haha..

peh, korg bayangkanla ak blajar mende alah kecik tu jek selama 6bulan!!

haha.. mase tu ak maki2 gak la, sbb ak xtau ape pentingnya snare nih dalam percussion..

mmg susah beb!! susah gile..

so bile ak nk perform time forum, jadi camni lah;

haha! kelakar kan?? xpela, belajar punye pasal, lautan api pon sanggup ku renangi, kalau reti berenang la!

so, bile pulak ak blaja snare ni??

dalam kelas forum ke??

ap je yg ak kene blaja kat snare nih??

susah sgt ke snare nih??

haha, sumenye akan bersambong di episode 3!! hahaha

(skali lagi bajet2 ade org bace blog ak! xpe, ak bace sendiri pon suspen lah! )

Music Matter : Episode 1

THE FIRST EPISODE!

okay, i think this story will likely to be an exposure of my music learning.. so, it'll be kinda "boring"

but who cares, nobody really reads my blog kan? =p

UiTM Shah Alam

saya berjaya masuk ke sini melalui UPU. Pilihan pertama ialah Diploma Seni Muzik. WHOA!! only God knows my feelings when im about to make that choice, tp xkesah la, im here, dah nak abis diploma dah pun. haha..

Pertama kali masok Fakulti Muzik dulu, memang rasa cam happy gile baby sbb suasana die.. peh.. MACAM SEKOLAH!

yeah its true, mmg fakulti ni terdiri drpd 2 blok bangunan sekolah.. cool kan??

Selepas seminggu kat UiTM, mostly kat kolej meranti, 1st class yg ak attend adlah kelas Forum. Selama ni kalo org sebot forum, yg ak tau forum perdana jelah. haha, so bak mai cek nk habaq sket kat hang pasai kelas forum nih;

Kelas ni sebenanye kelas yg besar sebab die gabungkan sume student Diploma, dari Part 1 sampai Part 6 ++(*yang simbol ++ tu maksodnye Part 6 keatas, maybe ade yg repeat then kene extend semester).

Kelas ni senang(senior cakap), tapi ramai yg fail.

Nak tau kenapa senang? sbb dalam kelas ni, kitorang just datang, and tengok org perform. Cukup 3 jam, settle. Tu jek. Nk tau knape ramai yg fail? ramai fail sbb, yg perform tu sume adelah kitorang sendiri! haha.. kelas ni basically memerlukan setiap individu dalam Diploma muzik perform kat depan sume student Diploma, and then the performance will be evaluated by lecturers. Takde Gred A, B, or C dalam kelas ni, Just PASS or FAIL !! haaaa...

Setiap org kene perform 2 lagu setiap semester. Lepas tu, ad satu lagi requirement ntok pass kelas ni, kitorang kene pergi tengok 6 performance luar setiap sem. Paham?? ala... maknenye kitorang kene la pergi tengok Gig ke, Konsert ke, Theater ke, Orchestra ke, AF ke.. pape jela.. asalkan cukup 6. Bende nih dipanggil AKTIVITI FORUM .. untuk lulus, kitorang kene bagi bukti yg kitorang pegi konsert or gig tuh. 1st method is tunjuk tiket gig tuh. 2nd method is amek gamba diri sendiri semasa kat Gig tuh. Lepas dah amek gamba or dptkan tiket nih, kitorang kene dapatkan sign lecturer ntok mengesahkan kesahihan bahawa kitorang dah pegi tengok gig tuh.

So memang kelam kabut jugak la mase part 1 dulu, cuak gile oh nak perform depan senior2. haha. kompem2 la iorang sume gempak gile baby!

the conclusion is, ak rase kelas nih diwujudkan sbb nk biasakan kitorang perform kat dpn org ramai. nk hilangkan gemuruh. whats the point being a musician if u cant show it to others kan??

Lupe plak nk cite, kitorang kene perform ape dalam klas tuh? nyanyi?? gita?? joget?? haha.. nak tau ape requirement ntok performance?? erm, tunggula episode 2 nanti! haha.. (konon2 ade org bace blog ak la nih kan kan kan.. haha.. )

Music Matter

okay setelah lama x menaip, tiba2 saya rasa bosan dan ingin menaip.. haha.. lately sangat busy, exam week lah katekan. hurm, baru jek lepas exam keroncong petang td, kire okay lah.. since im bored and i have nothing else to do,(sbb dah abes exam kan), i think, today's topic going to be;

My Music Learning!

okay, i think its time to tell you guys what ive been learning all this time. ive got a lot of questions such as this, "eh afan afan, kau kan, amik music kan, ape je yg ko blaja ek? main gita la ye??" and this "kau amik music, lepas ni jadi artis lah kan??" or this "seronok lah kau, blaja music, senang je kan??"

*okay yg last tu xdela question sgt, but its the most annoying sentences ever!!

okay, firstly saya mahu tekankan, MUSIC AIN'T EASY!!!

its totally the same as hard as ur account, as hard as ur computer science, as hard as ur whatsoever course ur learning! the only difference, that can make music so easy is TALENT!

unlike other courses, music or arts requires natural talent, so, if one has no talents, music can be the hardest thing ever on this big blue planet for him or her!!! see, its hard, really, its hard. i think i do have a little talent, and still i think that music is very hard to learn and master!! so please, stop giving those immature negative perceptions about music.

okay, kembali kepada topik asal, muzik! hehe.. okay, i think im gonna start with my semester 1 learning. *konon2 nak wat blog berepisod lah ni! haha..

ill start the so called episode of my music learning in my next post, entitled EPISODE 1! haha.. so, thats all now, will begin typing soon!

despair

useless... =(
