not section leaders but interested to go, you can go as well !

Sectional Leaders Training Course
A two part hands-on workshop designed for potential, new and existing sectional leaders,
musicians from the TKWO will impart onto participants their knowledge and skills on instrument playing,
practice and rehearsal techniques. Second part of the course will be delivered by veteran music educator Dr Lee Tian Tee, also President for WASBE (Singapore), who will share his insights on how to better manage and conduct sectional practices.
Participants will also practice and evaluate their newly learnt skills during the workshop.
A gathering of sectional leaders from various schools,
participants will also be able to interact and learn from each other's experience.
Through such efforts, we hope that participants will eventually share and apply their knowledge in school to conduct sectional practices effectively.
On top of instrument playing and practice technique, the following items will also be taught at this workshop:
• Basic Conducting
• Warm Up and Tuning Procedure
• Leadership and Management Skills
• Understanding Instrument Uniqueness and Flaws
• Solving Rhythmic Problems
• Dynamic and Balance Control


Instrument Workshop (Intermediate) Targeted at band members of secondary 2 and above, this workshop aims to provide participants with a better understanding on instrument playing as musicians from the TKWO share with participants the practical skills and technique of music making. Through active participation and demonstration, participants will be encouraged to apply the skills in the workshop and imitate after the instrumentalist to achieve qualities in aspects such as tone production, breathing and blowing techniques, articulation and more.

Instrument Masterclass (Advance) Recommended for musicians of age 17 and above, participants can choose to either perform on their instrument to receive critics and recommendation from the TKWO musicians or be an observer to learn from the experience. Performing participants are expected to be of at least tertiary level or recommended by his/her music teacher. Performers will receive individual attention from the masters and will need to prepare their own music for a 45-minutes session. Observer will view the sessions to learn from the critics and recommendation the masters will make.
