SFU Recital Society

Tidbits on our year-end recital of spring semester.

Note* I am not in this! This video only includes members of the first half of the concert.

My first piano lesson in 2 years

I had my piano lesson with Mr. Henry Waack. Apparently he is an 83 year old man with a lifetime-load of credentials. I am uttermost honored to be one of his students.

The thing I love most about him is his indefinite passion towards music itself. He claimed to never retire and teaches music for his sole love of it. That is something that I appreciate and respect greatly.

He is also going to teach me counterpoint 4 (ahh!!). It doesn't seem too complicated because as he explained it this way: "counterpoint is going sideways on the music staff, while harmony is going up and down on the staff" - if you've taken counterpoint I guess you would understand what he meant.

I hope that I can squeeze in an hour's worth of practice a day. In the meantime, I am happy with all the support my parents have given me with striving towards my A.R.C.T, not also forgetting to mention the club that I partook in my spring semester of first year university - SFU Recital Society.

They really have changed my insight on music, and gave me the necessary push in order to strive for my A.R.C.T.

I will provide more input on them later on.
