We were introduced into a much more professional setting, from mic technique, staging etc to fundamental singing and harmonizing skills we are taken to another level of quality. Through these training the connection between us and the audiences become much stronger and we enjoyed it so much! Thanks HKMM! ---Patrick @ MOSAIC
I enjoyed the moment with MM tutors. They shared their precious experiences with us and helped us polish our skills. ---小明 @ MOSAIC
It was fun to be in this program. With the limited number of practise within 4 weeks our team could perform well on stage and sing the song with good quality ! Thank you for the chance ! ---Alex @ MOSAIC
We are so lucky to join the program and learn from sophisticated A cappella groups like Melody Makers. I believe this invaluable learning experience has brought us to a higher level in musicality and performing arts. We will definitely SHINE MORE IN THE FUTURE! ---Adrian @ MOSAIC
Time to shine has given us a whole new perspective towards production, singing and staging. It has been a most rewarding experience to learn from all other groups and the experienced tutors. ---Astina @ MOSAIC
It was amazing to ourselves to experience improvements within such short period of time. The tutors gave insightful advice and timely feedback which were very helpful. ---Ariel @ MOSAIC
I was inspired by the tutors and all the music makers participating in the Time to Shine program. A performer has to treasure opportunities to go on stage and to shine in spotlight. Thank you HKMM. ---Eileen @ MOSAIC
Very memorable experience on stage! Craving for more platforms for musical exchange! ---Irene @ MOSAIC
I'm very glad to have much inspiration on vocal percussion. Wishing to shine again! ---俊 @ MOSAIC

感謝大家支持，「讓我閃耀」得到非常熱烈的迴響，報名朋友普遍都有以下提問，一一為大家解答:
Thank you for the very enthusiastic response to the 'Time to Shine' program! As we have received many enquiries, here are answers to some of the most frequently asked questions (FAQs):
Q: 通常會跟Patrick和其他導師每星期會面多少次呢? How frequently would we need to meet Patrick and other tutors?
A: 基本上1-2次，視乎各團隊的時間上能否配合和是否需要。 Generally once or twice per week, according to the group's need and availability.
Q: 通常會在什麼時候和Patrick/其他導師會面? When would be the time for the meetings?
A: 沒有特定時間，導師將會於各隊平時的綵排時間入團到訪。 This is flexible. Patrick and the tutors would preferably visit the group during its regular rehearsal times.
Q: 通常在什麼地方會面? Where would we meet Patrick and the tutors?
A: 除了錄音會安排在特別地方外，基本上也會於各隊平時綵排的地方會面。 Usually in the group's own rehearsal venue. However, the audio recording session would be held in a special venue.
Patrick和導師希望每個參與團隊能透過「讓我閃耀」，在同樣的綵排時間長度、同樣的地點和配套下，於4個星期內突破自己，取得比以往更多的成果。
The main aim of this project is to ensure that a group will continue to develop after these four weeks even with the same rehearsal frequency, venue and equipment. Therefore, Patrick and the tutors will show the group how to get the most out of its own facilities.
記得9月7日或以前把錄音(mp3)、團隊簡歷(doc) 及 團隊照片(jpg) 電郵到 hkmm (at) hkfyg.org.hk 或者 hkmmblog (at) gmail.com! 馬上報名!
