RT @jun_song: Ich habe DeepSeek-V4-Pro-0813 und Grok-4.6 in meiner Agent-Framework getestet. Die Leistung enttäuscht etwas im Vergleich zu den Benchmarks (getestet auf realen agentic Tasks, nicht Flappy Bird). Dennoch sind sie immer noch weit vor Opus-5, das derzeit aufgrund von Compute-Einschränkungen stark gedrosselt ist.

Preparing for Music Exams and Recitals
A music examination or recital is more than an opportunity to perform—it is a milestone that reflects your preparation, discipline, musical understanding, and personal growth.
As a music instructor and mentor, I’ve prepared students for music examinations, recitals, and live performances over the years. One lesson remains constant: students who prepare consistently perform with greater confidence than those who rely on last-minute practice.
Whether you’re preparing for a graded examination or your first recital, success is not determined by talent alone—it is built through intentional preparation.
- Start Preparing Early
One of the biggest mistakes learners make is postponing serious practice until the last few weeks.
Music is a skill that develops gradually. Give yourself enough time to refine your technique, improve your confidence, and address areas that need attention.
Early preparation reduces pressure and allows for steady improvement.
2. Understand the Assessment Requirements
Know exactly what your examination board or recital expects.
Depending on the programme, you may be assessed on:
- Technical exercises and scales
- Performance pieces
- Sight-reading
- Aural (ear) tests
- Music theory
- General musicianship
- Stage presentation, and musical expression
Knowing the expectations helps you prepare with purpose.
3. Build a Structured Practice Plan
Avoid practicing without a clear direction.
Create a weekly schedule that includes:
- Vocal or instrumental warm-ups
- Technical exercises
- Performance repertoire
- Sight-reading
- Ear training
- Music theory
- Mock performances
Consistent, focused practice produces better results than occasional long practice sessions.
4. Don’t Neglect Music Theory
Many learners spend all their time practicing pieces while overlooking music theory.
Understanding rhythm, notation, scales, chords, intervals, keys, and musical terminology strengthens your overall musicianship and makes learning new music much easier.
Theory and practical performance complement one another.
5. Practice Performing, Not Just Practicing
Preparing for a recital or examination is different from ordinary practice.
Perform your pieces from beginning to end without stopping, even if you make a mistake. Practice in front of family, friends, fellow students, or your instructor to simulate a real performance.
Confidence grows through experience.
6. Learn from Feedback
Every correction is an opportunity to improve.
Listen carefully to your instructor’s observations, apply the corrections consistently, and don’t become discouraged by mistakes. Growth happens when feedback is put into practice.
7. Develop Stage Confidence
Whether performing for an examiner or an audience, stage presence matters.
Walk confidently, maintain good posture, acknowledge your audience respectfully, and focus on communicating the music rather than worrying about perfection.
Remember, audiences often remember confidence and expression more than minor mistakes.
8. Take Care of Yourself
As your examination or recital approaches:
- Get enough rest.
- Stay hydrated.
- Eat well.
- Warm up properly.
- Avoid over-practicing the day before.
- Arrive early and stay calm.
A healthy body and a prepared mind support a confident performance.
If you’re considering internationally recognized music qualifications, some of the most respected examination boards include:
- ABRSM (Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music) – Offers graded practical and theory examinations, with both in-person and online options for selected assessments.
- Trinity College London – Provides practical, theory, and digital music examinations, including flexible online performance assessments.
- MUSON (Music Society Of Nigeria) Offers graded theory and practical music examinations.
- London College of Music Examinations (LCM Exams) – Offers graded music qualifications in a wide range of instruments, voice, and music theory, with physical and selected online assessments.
- Rockschool (RSL Awards) – Popular for contemporary music, covering vocals, drums, guitar, piano, bass, music production, and performance arts, with both face-to-face and digital exam options.
These qualifications are internationally recognised and provide learners with structured goals and measurable progress throughout their musical journey.
Conclusion
Whether you’re preparing for an international music examination, a school assessment, a church presentation, or your first recital, remember that every performance is an opportunity to demonstrate not only what you know, but also the discipline you’ve developed along the way.
Preparation builds confidence. Confidence inspires excellence. Excellence is achieved through consistent effort over time.
Approach every examination and recital as a celebration of your growth, not simply a test of your ability.
Reflection
If your next recital or music examination were four weeks away, what changes would you make to your practice routine starting today?
“A successful recital or music examination is not won on the day of the performance—it is earned through disciplined practice, intentional preparation, and the commitment to improve every single day.” — Victor Adenola

🎬 MOONS OF CAVIA | Documenting Absence: De toekomst is failliet + Do You Love Me + VHS Jam Session
Filmhuis Cavia, Thursday, September 3 at 06:00 PM GMT+2
During the first weekend of September, we will be hosting the seventh edition of our outdoor film festival, featuring not only Oscar-nominated features and local eye-opening shorts, but also music, food and performance, making for a truly special experience. Once again, we will try to spotlight some of the diversity that makes up Cavia’s many identities, celebrating a year of incredible moments for our small cinema.

----------------------------------------
DOCUMENTING ABSENCE:
De toekomst is failliet + Do You Love Me + VHS Jam Session
The opening night of Moons presents two films which converse about the loss of personal histories through the disappearance and destruction of (urban) infrastructure. In the search of remembering fractured and fuzzy memories, or intentionally hidden histories, both films engage directly with the power of archives.
Suzzane Koopstra's short magic-realist documentary De toekomst is failiet follows Bep and Tinus, two elders who have been capturing the disappearance of their neighbourhoods over the last 60 years. By digging through their personal archives and photographic albums, the film offers a unique glimpse into Rotterdam's rapid gentrification and housing crisis.
Lara Daher's Do You Love Me reconstructs the fragmented collective memory of Lebanon, by panning through 70 years of film, TV, home videos, and photography from private collections and abandoned archives. In the words of Lara Daher "In our schools, we have no shared history book, our past remains unspoken. This absence pushed me to the archives to search, collect, and listen—to understand not only what came before, but our present."
Alongside the double-bill, visitors will be able to interact with Cavia's own VHS archive, a collection gathered over years which includes festival submissions, experimental films, underground oddities, and homemade tape compilations, among many others. This will be set up by the Archive Jam Sessions, preceding the screenings.
DE TOEKOMST IS FAILLIET
Suzzane Koopstra | 2024 | NL | 27’ | Dutch, EN subtitlesThe endless Rotterdam construction pit unfolds as a moving spectacle for the very last time. Amidst a desolate backdrop where once the lost city resurrected from the rubble, the earth swaps itself for a shiny skyline in a whimsy permanent longing for the new and the better. In a race against the clock, Bep and Tinus persist in making their last attempt to capture that elusive time, by chasing it with their camera.
+DO YOU LOVE ME
Lara Daher | 2025 | Lebanon, France, Germany, Qatar | 75’ | EN subtitles
Do You Love Me is a playful and personal journey through Lebanon's audiovisual memory, composed entirely of archival footage. It is a love letter to Beirut, spanning 70 years of film, TV, home videos, and photography, exploring the Lebanese collective psyche - marked by joy and intimacy, destruction and loss. Through the eyes of citizens, filmmakers and artists, the film reconstructs a fragmented history in a country without a national archive, celebrating creative expression as both resistance, renewal and a way to preserve memory.
+VHS JAM SESSION
The Archive Jam Session hands Filmhuis Cavia's VHS archive over to the audience. A participatory method for exploring it collectively and horizontally, one night at a time. The audience becomes co-curator, sifting through decades of tape to build something live and shared.
Around the space, TVs and videocassette players turn into preview stations. In small groups, participants search the archive, chasing a title, a label, a hunch, then gather at a station to watch what they find. From hours of footage, each group cuts fifteen minutes: a few fragments, rewound and primed to the chosen moments.
Then the big screen takes over. One by one, groups step up and press play. Without a script, fragment meets fragment, image answers image, and something clicks: a jam session made of images instead of sound, each riff building on the last. Along the way, a glimpse of everything that lives inside Cavia's archive.

🎬 MOONS OF CAVIA | politics, poetry & anticolonialism
Filmhuis Cavia, Saturday, September 5 at 06:00 PM GMT+2
During the first weekend of September, we will be hosting the seventh edition of our outdoor film festival, featuring not only Oscar-nominated features and local eye-opening shorts, but also music, food and performance, making for a truly special experience.

----------------------------------------
POLITICS, POETRY & ANTICOLONIALISM
For the Saturday night of Moons, we are presenting three short films that help us reflect on colonial violence through spoken and visual poetry.
The night will open and close with a performance by Dominic Pradana, a queer Amsterdam-based Indonesian writer whose work tackles questions of identity, belonging and displacement. We then move to Guinea-Bissau, where Eduardo Williams’s experimental film Parsi takes us along the lives of the queer community, accompanied by a poem by Mariano Blatt, No Es. Then, we slide over to Beirut, Lebanon, with Jocelyne Saab’s monumental documentary Beirut, My City, in which Lebanese actor, playwright and director Roger Assaf delivers a love letter to the city he is witnessing being torn apart and destroyed. Finally, in happiness, Firat Yücel takes us through the visual landscape of the internet to ruminate on the effects of consuming violence online.
Come early to have a drink in the garden and eat with us, as we will be serving food at donation prices from the famous Amsterdam West community kitchen De Sering. Throughout the night, donations can be made to the Lebanese Red Cross.
PARSI
Eduardo Williams | 2018 | Guinea-Bissau, Argentina, Switzerland | 23’ | EN subtitlesUsing a 360-degree camera, Parsi submerges the viewer in the daily lives of the queer community in Guinea-Bissau. Guided by Mariano Blatt’s poem No Es, the film is an ethnographic exercise in immersion, blurring spectator and subject.
+
BEIRUT, MY CITY (Beyrouth, Ma Ville)
Jocelyne Saab | 1982 | Lebanon, France | 38’ | French, EN subtitlesFilmed during the 1982 Israeli siege of Beirut, Beirut, My City speaks to the hardships, woes and strength of the Lebanese people. The film reflects on questions of identity, belonging and memory within cycles of repeated violence. While the film was made in 1982, its themes and images resonate with the current violence in Beirut and Lebanon more broadly, an expansion of Israel’s genocide in Gaza.
+
HAPPINESS
Firat Yücel | 2025 | Netherlands, Turkey | 18’ | EnglishThese days, everything can be consumed online, including violence. How can we keep up with everything we read about or witness on the internet? happiness questions how we engage with news, violence and genocide online, how it affects us in our lived realities, and how violences underpins minute aspects of our daily lives. The desktop documentary travels the worldwide web to explore these questions.
DOMINIC PRADANA
Dominic Pradana is an Indonesian writer and poet based in Amsterdam. His work explores the emotional architectures of colonialism, capitalism, nationhood, and development, asking how these inherited systems shape desire, identity, and belonging. Across his work, queerness becomes a practice of refusal - an interrogation of the inherited scripts through which we come to understand ourselves and the worlds we inhabit. Through poetry and prose, he writes as a practice of unraveling, using language as a mirror, an archive, and a site of becoming.
Dominic runs 'Surviving Paradise' on Substack, an ongoing exploration of what it means to inherit a nation, survive its promises, and imagine other ways of being. He is currently working on his debut novel of the same name.
IHAB KHELFA
Cairo-born, Amsterdam-based sound artist and DJ, Ihab’s practice is rooted in movement, research, and sonic storytelling. His journey began across Southeast Asia, continued through Southern Europe, and now evolves in Amsterdam, where he expands his approach to performance and musical exploration. He is currently developing an ongoing series titled La Tabla La Musique, a body of work that reflects his deep engagement with Arab pop, Raï, and electro-Shaabi. Drawing from these influences, Ihab explores ways to reconnect with his childhood sonic memory while merging it with global south electronic music, blurring the boundaries between tradition and contemporary, acid-laced textures.
Listen here to his Soundcloud!
DE SERING
Throughout the evening, food will be provided by De Sering, the famous community kitchen founded in Amsterdam West.
De Sering was founded on the belief that strong communities are essential for activism and progress, and that an affordable meal is the perfect way to bring people together, allowing for the material conditions that allow people to participate in society, politics, and activism. Their aim is to expand and build a network of sociocratically organised locations led by participants, fostering community and addressing loneliness and hunger. Beyond cooking and serving food, they plan to offer services like childcare and educational courses to make activism and politics more accessible.

🎬 MOONS OF CAVIA | Greek Film Festival presents: A tale of a different city

----------------------------------------Greek Film Festival presents:
A TALE OF A DIFFERENT CITY
The first collaboration between Moons of Cavia and the Greek Film Festival in the Netherlands is here! GRFFNL started in 2026 at Filmhuis Cavia and was warmly welcomed by audiences in the Netherlands. Whether they were Greek people living in the Netherlands who rarely had access to newer Greek films, or Dutch cinephiles eager to explore a new cinematic experience, films screened during the first edition of GRFFNL attracted large crowds and continue to demonstrate why Greek cinema deserves to be recognized as a significant force in contemporary film.
The festival took place in May, but there are monthly screenings of Greek films that take place in Filmhuis Cavia throughout the year. To kick off this season, we are screening Social Decay, a radical silent film about the political and ethical crises in Athens during the turbulent period between the two World Wars.
The screening of Social Decay will be accompanied by a live original score, composed and performed by acclaimed Greek film composer Dimitra Alexiou, created especially for this occasion.
You're welcome to join us beforehand for a tavli ‘workshop’ —a playful introduction to one of Greece's most beloved board games—along with some Greek snacks. After the screening, stay for drinks and a hangout in the upstairs cinema space, where we'll be serving Greek drinks.
See you there!SOCIAL DECAY (Koinoniki Sapila)
Stelios Tatasopoulos | 1932 | Greece | 50’ | EN subtitlesDinos is a poor university student. Due to a lack of money, he drops out of his studies and goes looking for a job. He finds work as an actor with a theater company and falls in love with the lead actress. After she leaves the theater in search of greater success, Dinos also quits and ends up among the poor workers. Through this, he discovers the exploitation that workers must endure and starts a union to fight for social justice.
DIMITRA ALEXIOU
Dimitra Alexiou is a film composer, born in Greece and now based in the Netherlands. She has been working in film for the past few years, having already several credits for her work in short films, both in Greece and the Netherlands. When she is working on a film she always finds the message and style of the film, so as to support it with the best musical style possible. She has experimented with many genres (social drama, drama, horror) and many forms of films, such as documentaries, fiction films, animation films. Her style is diverse, combining a hybrid texture of electronic and acoustic elements to provide a unique atmosphere for every film.

CAVIA'S ANIMATION NIGHT
The Wolfwalkers + Animation Workshop
Animation is one of the cinematic art forms more able to bring together different experiences and generations, enchanting both the younger and older as it goes about creating magical worlds.
For the closing of Moons we start early with an animation workshop, led by Neyshme Yanarico and Letitia Evers, where participants will be able to create their own characters and to see them come to life, transforming into a real animator for one day.
Following that, we will see how some of the best in the game do it, with a screening of Oscar-nominated feature The Wolfwalkers, by award-winning studio Cartoon Saloon, one of the most innovative and interesting realities of European animation today.
Come by early to hang out in our garden, while we serve some great food from Amsterdam famous community kitchen De Sering. Prices on donation!
TEXTURED STORYTELLING AND CHARACTER DESIGN
Workshop by Neyshme Yanarico and Letitia EversAre you, or someone you know, interested in animation and wondered; “how do they do it?” Then join us for this workshop as we guide you through the process of animation and help you create your very own animated sequence! Our goal is to show those who are intrigued but aren’t sure where or how to start exactly how accessible animation can be—No need for expensive materials or exclusive tools! The workshop will be centered around a simple yet surprisingly versatile method of animating: Paper cutout stop-motion. Here you’ll learn that even with just paper, scissors and a phone you can turn your imagination into moving art!
The workshop will be guided by Neyshme and Letitia, two artists with a degree in 2D animation, who are eager to introduce you to the world of animating, by taking the time to go through the step-by-step of creating a stopmotion piece. Starting from an idea for a design, you will tell a story with the help of a storyboard putting your creativity and effort into creating something beautiful and made with your own imagination and hands!
Join us for an afternoon spent learning, creating and enjoying the art of paper cutout animation! All you need to bring with you is a phone (with ‘APP’ installed, a free tool that will help bring your art to live) and of course your enthusiasm to learn something new!
We hope to see you there!
N.B. No prior experience needed!
Get your tickets to attend the workshop HERE – only limited availability!
+THE WOLFWALKERS
Tomm Moore, Ross Stewart | 2020 | France, Ireland, Luxembourg, USA, China | 102’ | English, NL subtitlesIn a time of superstition and magic, when wolves are seen as demonic and nature an evil to be tamed, a young apprentice hunter comes to Ireland with her father to wipe out the last pack. But when she saves a wild native girl, their friendship leads her to discover the world of the Wolfwalkers and transform her into the very thing her father is tasked to destroy.

Throughout the evening, food will be provided by De Sering, the famous community kitchen founded in Amsterdam West.
De Sering was founded on the belief that strong communities are essential for activism and progress, and that an affordable meal is the perfect way to bring people together, allowing for the material conditions that allow people to participate in society, politics, and activism. Their aim is to expand and build a network of sociocratically organised locations led by participants, fostering community and addressing loneliness and hunger. Beyond cooking and serving food, they plan to offer services like childcare and educational courses to make activism and politics more accessible.
Full programme:15:30 | Doors open
16:00 | Animation workshop (until 19:00)
18:30 | Dinner with food by De Sering
21:00 | The Wolfwalkers

Stop Judging your Routine By How tired it Makes You 🛑
When you stop using exhaustion as the goal, you can start paying attention to more meaningful signs of progress.
🧠 Fatigue is not the same thing as progress
⚡️ Performance is a better measurement
🏃 Constant exhaustion can hurt consistency
💪 You should leave some capacity for your next workout

A new update for the demo of Times of Progress has been released!
This update is about an important performance optimisation: caching routes to avoid running the pathfinding too often. It should help with scaling larger cities much better, especially when steamships are involved (their pathfinding is more expensive).

🚀 Stop using #CPU #limits in #Kubernetes, they said! 🙄 As if we enjoy watching our apps crawl at a snail's pace while burning cash like it's Monopoly money. 😂 Maybe next they'll tell us to use carrier pigeons for data transfer. 🐦

This still rings me true after 3 years.
A band that does not play "live", as in the word "live", is not a band, is a publicity stunt.

If you depend on a computer rather than your own instruments, then you're not a musician nor an artist, you're a production puppet.

RT @jun_song: SuperDeepseek-V4-Flash läuft auf 2xDGX Spark mit einer Spitzenleistung von 122 Token pro Sekunde. Die Implementierung erfolgte basierend auf dem Rezept von @MiaAIlab, um DFlash MTP zu nutzen. 4-Bit-Quantisierung mit weniger als ~1 % Qualitätsverlust. Das Modell wurde außerdem abgeleitet und die Qualität wurde behoben, um die Gesamtleistung zu verbessern. Das ist einfach erstaunlich.
