Getting into Bersama after submitting my audition was a gratifying experience. I felt overjoyed in realising that I could carry on the moments I had in grade 11 over to grade 12, with new faces and new projects.

This year, I’ve taken on a different role by transitioning from alto to soprano. This change felt small at first, but I realise that becoming soprano has changed my perception of our songs. Rather than singing the melody, I’ve had to learn to complement the alto singers by singing in a higher key. Although higher keys are not my strength, I worked on them outside of bersama rehearsals and practiced the techniques my teachers have taught me (LO1).

Additionally, our group has changed a lot this year, the collaborative aspect of Bersama has remained unchanged. I find it exciting when we, as a group, brainstorm ways to edit certain parts of our score, change the tune/melody, or even deciding what song we should learn next. Bersama never fails to remind me how collaboration is an opportunity I’m eternally grateful for, as without it, I wouldn’t be the singer I am today (LO5)
