S M I L E



Smile though your heart is aching
Smile even though it's breaking
When there are clouds in the sky, you'll get by
If you smile through your fear and sorrow
Smile and maybe tomorrow
You'll see the sun come shining through for you

Light up your face with gladness
Hide every trace of sadness
Although a tear may be ever so near
That's the time you must keep on trying
Smile, what's the use of crying?
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just smile

- Smile by Nat King Cole -

Music Composition Program Week 8 - 12

It's been a long time. To be honest I've lost count to the weekly basis material for this class. So I'll just sum it up. In these past few weeks I've been learning about Brass Section and Percussion (which I missed both of the classes due to overslept -__-"). And a few tricks about using Sibellius (a software to make a score).

And we assigned to make an arrangement for "The Simpsons" theme using only Brass Section and Percussion. Well I looove The Simpsons. And also the theme song. But I knew that this would be a hard one.


After the Brass Section class was over, we got to make the song using only Brass Section instruments. Then we got to add the percussion after the Percussion class was over. Since I didn't come to the classes, so it was quite hard for me to work on it.

I used the basic Brass Section instrumentation with 2 Trumpets, 4 French Horn, 3 Trombone and 1 Tuba. For the percussion I used Timpani, Harp, Woodblock, and Xylophone. It didn't sound very fancy because I think I didn't use the percussion very well to give the mood. And I should work better on the dynamics.

Okay here goes :


Hope you enjoy!

If You Were Waiting for a Sign, THIS IS IT

Some people dream of success, others make it happen. Of course, you can dream as much as you like but waiting for things to happen gets you nowhere. Get active and start making things happen.

Whatever journey your path takes you on, the most important thing is to have PASSION in what you do.

How many of you went to college, got your degree, and ended up doing something totally unrelated to your major? Studying it did not make you passionate about it. It wasn’t your path.

Education or even talent aren’t worth much without passion. So do the stuff that you love and you've always wanted to do because without it, you'll feel stuck and unfulfilled. If you work in a bank but your dream is to be a naturopath, then make those changes now. Make this year the turning point in your life. When you do what you love you will be rewarded — it will just flow naturally.

Look at those around you who just make things happen. They have a clear goal in mind and they know where they want to go. They don't always have a plan but they have the passion and the tenacity to make it work, and they achieve their goals as the end result.

Trust us when we tell you this. If something important to you, you WILL find a way. If it isn't, you'll find an excuse. It’s that simple. Find your way. Make it work, whatever it takes. Are you 10 kilos heavier than you should be? It is simple: Commit, go to that gym every day, no excuses, and train until you lose those 10 kilos. When you accomplish this, you'll have the confidence to do more. Set a goal and make it happen.

Want to stop smoking? Stop making excuses, take control of your circumstances before they take control of you.

Success isn't just about what you accomplish in your life, it's about what you inspire others to do and when you do accomplish something as simple as quitting smoking or losing weight, you'll inspire others to do the same. Anyone can change the world, and everybody should try. And it all starts with your own life.

Stop waiting for the perfect time to do
what you want to do. Do it now.

Life begins at the end of your comfort zone, so get used to being uncomfortable. It won’t kill you. Do you need a sign? Here it is:
