Minutes for January 29th, Chinese New Year
Attendees: Victor, David, Martin, Glenn, and MB
We arrived in good time. David and Victor were having a lesson. We settled in and began with three octaves in C major. We tackled this task three times. The first time—to get it ascending and descending—took a while. As usual, its an exercise in addressing self-placed stress and deflecting frustration. The second time took about two rounds. The third time was completed on the first attempt – assisted by a pre-time of concentrated joke telling. Victor suggested an attempt at four octaves, but MB didn't know how to do that.
After C major part 1, we worked on EofN. Multiple plays and work on getting the down beat of the rhythm in the right place. Burbles get off track easily. Then, some Askesis and Third Relation. Askesis sounds not half bad but maybe “a third” bad.
We spent time discussing upcoming events…
We will have to wait to plan to play at the Montesorri school; we will play on May 7th at OCBC; we need some more info to apply for the improv performance at Third Life studio – with that info, we will apply to play on May 5th. Dev will be in town during May hence the May dates. We talked about Mary Beth’s art project. She gave a brief overview. Looks like the second or third week in Nov will be the performance date. As Victor pointed out, there is a lot to think of to get it all organized. Then, we worked on the Bach piece which is harder than first thought especially for certain parts. We made it through the first page and then two bars. Martin was a prone, mid-circle audient.
