The Sunny MiZ 8: Any Music Theory Lesson for Advanced Student?

Had my breakfast with my family in the morning as usual.

After breakfast, I had a haircut at Junction 8. Hmm... now my hair looks really odd and short... but never mind about, who really cares about hairstyle in the Army, as long as it is kept short.

At noon, I went to Plaza Singapura to have my violin lesson. After reaching there, I had my lunch at Long John Silver. Thought of eating at Burger King, but the place seemed quite crowded that time, as of KFC as well. So, I decided to eat at Long John Silver instead (since I hadn't been eating that for some time).

Ok, for the violin lesson, we revised what we did for the previous lessons. After that, the teacher taught us to hold and press the strings on the violin correctly (without using the bow). The teacher also used scotch tape to made markings on the violin to denote where the fingers should be (also denotes the notes we will be playing as well). Hmm... maybe I should do that to my viola as well when I go back to camp. He also taught us some very basic theory of music about the stave/staff (the 5 lines and 4 spaces used in music), ledger line (the short line which is used when the notes go beyond the stave), and also about the G-clef (Treble Clef), the clef which violinist read, and also the notes on that clef. Hmm... I already know that for like 15 years already... I can even read the Bass Clef (F-clef), and also even the Alto Clef (C-clef), although I tend to read the notes on the Alto Clef more slowly than the notes on Treble Clef and Bass Clef. Well, later I told the teacher thayt I had Grade 5 theory, so he told me that I could concentrate more on the violin itself instead. Pictures about the clefs below:









After the lesson, I went to Funan to buy a strategy guide for the game "The Urbz: sims in the City". Well, the book consists of the guide for the game in consoles and handhelds (although the game on consoles is different from that of the handhelds).

After that, I went back home to rest and prepare my stuff.
