I'm gonna have my so-called mini piano exam tomorrow @.@ Gautim-ed 'One Note Samba' with tempo=200  Quite an achievement for me since my sense of rhythm is REALLY BADDDDD but the good ole' 'The Girl From Ipanema' improvisation is driving me to the wall... Lecturer just taught me basic improvisation and this week he wants my improvisation in quavers, semiquavers, triplets etc @.@  I somehow can manage to improvise a bit..but can't help to get panicked in the middle... listening to improvisations on Youtube now...

I was playing my Mozart Sonata in class today while my lecturer hears it. When I Finished playing, he said this: "Chermaine, you have come a long way since semester 1..

Though it may not be perfect as every performers will make a mistake somewhere, but this is really good. Good job. Seriously, when I heard this.. I suddenly felt proud of myself and super touched... I can't believe my ears and it is good to see improvement..it's good to hear something that I've been wanting to hear from a professional :') Thank God :) I hope my confidence can be increased Even more :) *pats myself on the back :)
