Proverbs 24:33-34

"A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest - and poverty will come on you like a bandit and scarcity like an armed man."

it was hard to admit that I was wrong

it was hard to admit that I was wrong

teaching method
my organization ...
my carelessness ...

it was way harder than I thought to honestly admit that I was wrong

I rehearse Jesus' prayer since I learn it from Kaarina:
Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner.

but rehearsing, admitting I was wrong on the surface was much easier than genuinely confessing

But now I can face it.

yesterday:
accumulated problems when I did not prepare well when I teach
generally not preparing for things
late arriving at DMBC yesterday
my set priority & judgement
time management

When I was messaging Sansan this afternoon, I thought that's because I cannot do what I am challenged to do. And there is no solution to it. I only realize later on tonight, that it's something else that is blocking me from focusing and working! I hope I'll remember this.

*genuinely confessing*

my MSN:
Grace - 面對困難! - it was way harder than I thought to genuinely confess, but now I can face it

Grace - knowing where home is .... get ready for it & build color - Harmonic Analysis - warm!

Peter Ware on Advance Harmony 5

Grace - Harmony in music - fine relationship ... to compose!! Great Teachers inspire!

There is such delicate relationship in how all the tiny components work together! Peter Ware well integrated music theory into every day's life as he teaches! (Peter is a great teacher who is about the age of a grand father, who is very gentle and patient!)

He trains students to become observant to the details
to precisely spell the chords correctly, and relate dynamically to the music passage as we compose......

"To compose ... not to decompose, Regine" Peter said as he giggled watching me erasing my writing which were all wrong.
"To learn the appropriateness in different music passages, just like we've to learn about cultural differences ... and appropriateness in different context"

He taught us how to find the key in the music passage...
to be certain of where we are (knowing the key and cadences before we can modulate to somewhere else) - it makes no sense to step into the unknown if we don't know where we are
learning the relationship between different chords and chords functions in a music passage....
learning how to modulate from the old key to a new key as smoothly as possible....

Peter, these are deep lessons … my extended long journey of music learning is inseparable to my personal growth & life stories!

"Harmony is basically simple!!" said Peter.

Yeah, if we understand the underlying relationship and are observant enough to the details ...

it's neat to learn!!

...Harmony & Keys (to the open door)...

Something simple and hard...

I’m still looking forward to pass my exam…if I can!!! Ahhh…

MUS

In music, there's such precision, framework, harmonic relationship, ease & aesthetic in sound that mean so much to me.


German augmented 6th chord (old key) enharmonic to Dominant 7th chord of a new key ... How cool!!!

--> Harmony five exam coming up on December 13

too cool to study and learn

~* A neat balance between scientific evidence & sensible value judgement *~

=)

'tho the PSY (science) courses I'm taking in the past year won't be directly applied to my career direction.........

but reading and writing research articles......

balancing between scientific evidence and sensible value judgement is an extremely neat experience...

From human perception (the 5 senses, our brain and our perceptual experience)
to Introduction to development (studying about psychologcial and physical changes between different stages in life....infancy, toddler, adolescents, young adult, adult, and old old age ...including the social aspects)
to Aging (tons and tons of research on young adults vs. older adults and how the brain ages with time :P) Neat!!!
to now....finally landing on Human Memory (more studying about the brain .... research articles are very interesting)

Forgetful like me....I'm going to forget this cool experience if I don't put this down right now....soon.....I'll be going back go Accounting and Finance lu.........

I love this study experience..... =) Even though I'm no good if I'm asked to work with people face to face all the time, (too impatient ........) this is a rich experience for my own personal growth!!! yay...... =)

Stop blogging, Regine......

........ still.....unready for test tmw!

Lord, thank you for music and friendship! You've shown us how to share our lives at a deeper level.
