NEV3R

I see, Mr See, that you see yourself so determined to leave a lasting legacy behind in this ensemble that you have founded! (Hahaha... Do you not See the picture?) It is most admirable, and honestly, we're very grateful to you for having started the RJPE. Thanks for the advice on the blog-template/layout design. I used a combination of dreamweaver and messing around with the HTML to design our website, but I'm sort of hoping to great effect of futility, that someone from the PE will be able to lend me a hand in designing the blog.

If anyone cares to look closely enough at the banner of the RJPE website, you may notice that the music score there is from "The Sunken Cathedral" by Debussy.

The reason why none of the current J3s have blogged is because I don't have any of their email addresses and cannot add them to the list of blog authors. Xin Wei, care to help out here?

Anyway, our KONZERT is going to be on 9 Feb and the repertoire is now available on the RJPE website. The name of the concert is NEV3R. (If you don't know how to get to our website, I very much wonder whether you've been living on Jupiter.) Even if you have been living on Jupiter, you would very much want to make a trip to our humble planet earth attend the concert since "Jupiter" from "The Planets" by Holst is going to be played as a piano duet by Shin Bin and Tania. (I know, we're infinitely inferior since the diameter of Jupiter is approx 11 times that of our miniscule planet. )

Well, I hope that there will be more blog entries from other members!

Hi All!

Hello everyone! If you're wondering who, (ok the j2s and above should know me but just in case got any j1s drop by) I'm J4!! old right? Hahaha.. (and not much info about myself, the other seniors can tell u more about me hehe)

This blog does look abit lonely now, eh j3s, not studying already can blog right? Unless no one's joined in writing this blog yet hmmmm but then PE is certainly a lot more lively than my time!! With every batch of people, PE gets better, livelier, and more active.. During my J1 year, we did 4 concerts, 1 musi camp for CIP and 1 busking.. which was quite a handful for a group with only that few people..

Then in my J2 year, we had 2 concerts and a competition, before the juniors took over, and then they had camps and more cips and what nots..

In my j3 year, when the current J2s have just come in, PE had such a lively concert in May!! followed by more concerts and camps and christmas parties and combined camps and blog and website and this and that and WOW!! I must say, keep it up guys! Now that we also have a semi-active alumni (that is, existing but not very active haha), i can see PE going further and further! =)

Yee Ying, if you need to do up a blog design, an easy way out is just use microsoft frontpage to do your designing. That way, you do not need to mess with any html codes (except for where you want to put your posts and your dates and all that). If you don't have frontpage, u can use macromedia dreamweaver. or microsoft word, and ask others to convert to html coding for you.. yup

Inter-JC Piano Ensemble Workshop



Here's a picture of the masterclass conducted during the workshop today.



I had a fruitful and meaningful time! It was great... Thanks to the committee for putting in the effort to organise it. You can access the pictures at our Ensemble website in the photo gallery:

Could we have a confirmed list of repertoire for the upcoming concert posted here on the blog? *Yay!* I'm still hoping someone will help me design the template for this blog. I'm clueless about blog-layout designing.

This is the RJPE Blog!

This blog belongs to all members of the Raffles Junior College Piano Ensemble, past and present.

Anyone and everyone can post about anything related to the ensemble. It will serve as an ideal platform for discussion about:
1) What repertoire to consider for an upcoming concert?
2) The Art of Music-making! (Woah! "Chim"...)
3) Ensemble events that have occurred (i.e. Performances, CIP, Overseas trips? etc.)
4) Any other miscellaneous issues

The tone: Light and Casual - Shouldn't be anything too serious lah. A few good pictures and words of encouragement for other members in the CCA shouldn't go amiss either ^_^

Does anyone want to volunteer to design the layout and template for this blog?
I'm really out of ideas after having done the website...
