DipABRSM!!
YES! another dream fulfilled! i’ve finally cleared my Diploma in Performing on the Clarinet, ABRSM! and now i have 3 academic achievements i can put on my name card! Specialist Diploma in TESOL, B.A. (English) and DipABRSM (Clarinet Performing)! haha.
expressed my desire to venture out and teach other schools. which means i have effectively less time for fengshan and nan chiau. but i promise that my dedication to these 2 schools will not lessen. i will always remember NCWO as a band where i carved out a tough start to my band career, and i will always remember the hard work that we did together. so whatever happens in the future, you have my promise that i will never ever forget you guys
not that i will leave the band lah.
i will venture out into the scene, and who knows, next SYF maybe i can bring my own school to NCHS for band exchange? that’ll be cool right? whatever happens, i hope you will understand that i’m doing this to keep my dream alive. i gave myself 2 years to settle down stably in the scene. if i can’t do that, then i’d get out of the scene. this is for myself and for my future family. and i won’t remain an assistant conductor forever. one day i will bring my own band to SYF. and i hope that will be in the near future. so basically i have only 1 SYF to prove myself. i set myself 2 years because i don’t want dear to end up having to wait for me, for someone pursuing a dream that cannot work out as a career. of course, in these 2 years, i will give it my best shot, and whatever happens, i can always look back and say that i have given it my best shot, and that i will not regret doing so
so dear members, do give Mr Lum your fullest support! i will always be right behind you guys in your music-making
let’s make great music together, shall we?
a very big thank you to the sec 4s who’ve been with us, fighting with us for SYF 2007. i am proud of every single one of you, and i look forward to seeing you soar in your respective future endeavours. you have my utmost gratitude
