About Us

hey people,

i'm gonna be harsh here. LOL. i'm not usually like this okay, i'm actually a nice person huh. haha. here it goes:

people having exams i understand. i look forward in seeing you guys. (like REALLY) people who have VALID reasons come late and cant come, we cant do anything; just hope that you guys can try to make it (on time) next time. for others who simply didnt appear AND didnt tell your SL or Jeremy please reflect~

TASYV is not just an avenue for you to sing and have fun without putting in effort and get quality results. you gotta have commitment towards this society. with people kept missing every week, parts missing here and there, how are we gonna get quality results? it's saddening that i go to tasyv every sat only to see few people. (last sat is a girl power thing- bass and tenors all gone, well except colin who came at 4plus, lol.)everyone has a stake in this. you, you, you and you make a difference in this society! if you think u dont sing as well, do something then; ask anyone, listen to nwc, midi more, come earlier with anyone to practise so that rehearsal can run more smoothly~ u got a part to play. i stress: YOU GUYS ARE IMPT, TRAIN TO SING BETTER!! =)

AND please do something about the Vocal Mania (and upcoming concerts). i know not everyone is performing coz u guys are not free. but since u're part of the society, please push for the tickets. really, tas is not a charity organisation (well, not EXACTLY) and we dont have strong sponsor foundation. they cant be providing free tickets all day long! do you want to sing to an empty hall? people dont just appear as audience. everyone gotta help! you can do the least by asking your friend to join u guys to watch, inform the choir, put it in your blog, put in facebook, put it as your nick; anything that help to increase the ticket sales~ we have a part to play, really!!

anyway, till now, we've sang through
- we wish you a merry christmas (the new one- regeneration)
- jingle bells (regeneration)
- christmas in the air

the old songs- please revise- we MAY use it. we hope to learn new songs. so please, now we have the dance of the sugar fairy on nwc, go listen: it'd speed up the whole process. i'd check against my schedule, if there's nothing, i'd be in tapac in the morning (if there's no one else using the room) and u guys can come in if u need any help with the music alright? i cant help much but i'd try my best can?

SO moral of the story: please be responsible. actions speak louder than words. we want committed members, not just people who come and go and not know their work.


p.s. here's a link to an acapella group- the king singers. i get the chance to talk to vocal dente ( they went to perform for the international acappella festival ) and the king singers are one of their favourite groups. (well, i can see why)

they're classical singers, but still entertaining. and they're not born singers alright. from what i heard, they practise everyday 8 hours. the tenors took 3 months to perfect his "AH" vowel. and whenever there's new members, the group will whack and whack until everyone has the same mouth shape, same placements and things like that. it is their commitment that makes them like this. of course we dont have the luxury of time to be like them. but we can make baby steps. so think: what exactly u want out of tas, then act upon it. =)

here's for you:

p.p.s. please complete the shine participant evaluation form and bring it this sat. (for those who can make it) 1st step to show your commitment? =) Follow link to download the NoteWorthy Composer (NWC)

Yeps. NWC is a program for us to listen and learn the scores ourselves as long the score has been plotted into a NWC file... So for those who still do not have the program please download it as we are quite dependent on the program to learn our songs...
