PHOTOS: Perform to Inspire Workshop at library@esplanade

Last Saturday, we were at library@esplanade!, conducting a 1-hr workshop -"Perform To Inspire".

Hmm, what did we do?

We gave tips and pointers on how to 'colour-up' live performances, precisely - 'Perform to Inspire'!

In it, we gave live demonstrations and performances. For example, we arranged our students to give their first maiden public performance which followed by our comments from our music directors/instructors. Our instructors also performed and demonstrated on the spot, the students' chosen songs to bring the idea across and of course to feel & see the difference.

At the end of the session, we collected feedbacks from the audiences and were so glad that 100% ticked the session as 'Good' & 'Very Good'!

Thank you!

Here are some photo captures from the day....

After their performance, Amos commented on areas which they can improve on. Amos suggested adding harmonizing parts to add more layers to the performance.
