I got this YouTube video of a performance rehearsal from a friend's blog. She's a Double Bassist who will be performing with the NUS Symphony Orchestra in January. So, why did I post this here?

In her words:

The double bass ensemble rehearsed today. We had taped a segment of it down so that we can review our playing and work on improving our item.

In one fell swoop, she has demonstrated a way to share and learn from recorded experience and a way to publicise a niche event.

Academics in NUS can likewise learn from recordings of their webcasts to improve lessons. While you can't share the webcasts like YouTube videos - personally, I feel that someone should be looking into this - you can blog about your lesson observations as a form of professional development.

But enough about blogging. Please support my friend and the University's very own symphony orchestra!
