Hello everyone! 

In this new season, I had a conversational discussion with my pal, Haziq Muhyidin. For these past 6 months, we collaborated on a community project called "Music Painting: Artistic Expression through Percussion  and Singing" that was carried out amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Hear about our struggles and successful attempts at carrying out the activities in this week's episode, as Haziq (the project leader) gave his valuable opinion that may help those interested in their own endeavors.

In this episode, I talk to a good friend of mine, Mr. Hazziq Aizzat.

Hello everyone!    

This episode is split into two parts. In this second part, I talk to my go-to research buddy from UPM, Mr. Chan Long, about how one could work around their individual music researches. Looking into our own experiences as undergrad students, we summarized our approaches in reviewing literature, writing up methods, analyzing results, and even tapped into some scenarios that we or others have gone through that served as lessons on our research paths.

Hello everyone!  

This episode is split into two parts. In this first part, I talk to my go-to research buddy from UPM, Mr. Chan Long. We looked into the different terminologies and fields that music researchers, especially fresh ones like both of us, might overlap or mistaken. Leading into the next part of the episode, we tunneled slowly to how they may or may not be part of our dissertation during our Bachelor of Music's research work.
