Albert’s Annotations: Today marks the last day of school for my two kids. i.e. an end to ‘home-based learning’… I can almost hear a collective sigh of relief from teachers, parents and students alike! Son’s glorious smile reflects my own inner state after having given so much of my own personal & work time in the mornings (and even entire afternoons) supervising, helping them to become more independent learners these last few weeks. Teaching them are at times, ridiculously draining, but it was also a very enjoyable process to learn alongside them. I’ve also gained a newfound respect for their dedicated teachers… As a fellow educator, one can only imagine the tremendous amount of time and energy their teachers must’ve poured into learning new tech, designing online work, activities, games and *gasp* even an ultra spoil-market online ‘escape room’! To my fellow educators, I salute and THANK YOU on behalf of everyone. At the same time, I’ve also thoroughly enjoyed how COVID19 has forced everyone to rethink and relearn ways of 教｜学teaching-learning. Just thought I’ll mention that you can join me for a panel discussion of “Music Co-Curricular Activities in the Time of COVID19”. Hosted by Adrian Tan in the SGConductors FB group, panelists also include esteemed colleagues like Adrian Chiang, Mike Chiang and myself and represents a wonderful cross-section of people who are familiar faces in the Chinese orchestra, choir, western orchestra and wind band scenes! Do come along if you have ideas to share and/or have questions about rehearsing/teaching online. We would love to hear and learn from you! Trivia: Some strange kismet must’ve been at work as Adrian, Mike & I share the same Chinese surname 郑(Zhèng)! #albertsannotations #scholacantorumsg #习唱堂 #kamsg #singapore #choir #choral #music #sgchoir #sgchoral #sgmusic #sgconductor #sgmusician #covid19 #sgunited
So rare! A rainbow that spans the whole sky in Singapore! Hopefully it’s a sign of better things to come! #albertsannotations #rare #singapore
Best part of being a music nerd-hermit, is that everyday’s a workliday (time flows somewhat differently for art-makers I imagine)… but it’s a real blessing to be receiving reminders of time with thoughtful gifts from students/friends. #albertsannotations #ilovemyjob #cny #timeflies
Democracy, justice, equality, sovereignty, liberty, peace are like fresh air, we often take it for granted and seldom miss it until it’s gone. When push comes to shove, hoping young Singaporeans will show some backbone! Spend less time on Tik Tok/Snapchat/Instagram and actually read the news and care about current affairs lah! 民主，公正，平等，主權，自由，和平，有如新鮮空氣，不見的時候才會想念它。四面楚歌之時，希望年輕的新加坡人也有骨氣面對！請花多一點時間參考新聞，關心時事，少浪費時間在社交媒體啦！ #albertsannotations #sgpatriot #read #news #nationaleducation #duntakesgsovereigntyforgranted
Voices Festival Day 1 has been really awesome. YAZERS did quite well for their first performance at the Esplanade Concourse (much thanks to the tech crew)! Met up, saw and heard so many friends, colleagues (conductors, choristers, singers, drummers, sound engineers, pianists, violinists, ex-students) etc. One is content! Goodnight! 😴 #albertsannotations #kamsg #乐者 #yazers #singapore #choir #choral #music #sgchoir #sgchoral #sgmusic #sgconductor #sgmusician
I was chilling at the basement of Esplanade waiting for soundcheck with KAM-led Pop and Jazz Choir “Yazers” (catch us tonight 8:15pm at the Esplanade Concourse!) when I suddenly saw on the big screen, friends Phua Ee Kia @perfect_cadence , Jonathon Charles Tay @jonathan_charles introducing their programmes for Voices Festival (can’t believe it starts today!!) Then… Albert Tay popped up 🤯… I wonder what passersby are thinking in that moment…🤔 P.S. A true blue whiskey bar at Esplanade level 2 just became my favourite place to chill. Go check it out! Thanks Christel Hon @xelhon for the recommendation! #doppelgänger #seeingdouble #doublewhiskey #doubledoubletoilandtrouble #albertsannotations #singapore #choir #choral #music #sgchoir #sgchoral #sgmusic #sgconductor #sgmusician #乐者 #yazers #kamsg #esplanadesg #mydurian
