We have the behind-the-scenes pictures and to complete the whole episode like chocolate syrup on an ice cream sundae, here is the video of Rosli on UnTukMu, Suria’s Teachers’ Day special program that aired on 31 Aug (with subtitles).

Now, no more worries for those who missed catching the show on telly and here’s a little something special for the attendees of the recent Logic Pro workshop. You may have just gotten yourself a few seconds worth of screen time on national television if you watched the video carefully.

Enjoy.

RM on Suria’s Teachers’ Day Special

To celebrate Teachers’ Day this 1 Sept, Mediacorp’s Suria Channel has a special program dedicated to the teachers.

The one-hour program, titled UntukMu is hosted by Fizah Nizam and Shah Iskandar and the synopsis (taken from Suria’s website) goes like this:-

“Educating goes beyond the realm of classrooms. Students and teachers exist in the sports, the arts, the entertainment industry, the working world and many other places as long as there is one who is willing to inspire as well as share and one who is willing to learn.”

This Sunday’s (31 Aug)  episode features an interview with RM on his 18 years as a guitar teacher, keeping in touch with the latest technology in music-making (in his home studio) and how he introduces the technology to his students (at the recent Apple’s Logic Pro Workshop). The program will be aired at 8.30pm.

Thanks to the director Yusoff Ismail, assistant director Saloma Misran and the hosts Fizah and Shah.

We’re not forgetting the behind-the-scenes pictures too…

Did you see RM in NDP ‘08?

If you were at Marina Bay catching NDP ‘08, then you might have caught a familiar face on the screens.

That’s right, RM was in the NDP video (albeit briefly) shown that day. The intention behind the video was to capture Singaporeans from all walks of life and RM was invited to show the life of a Singaporean musician at work, with his unique double-neck electric guitar.

If you didn’t manage to spot him or were watching the parade on the telly, here are some behind-the-scenes pictures (once we get the video we’ll put it up here):-

The Modern Guitarist Workshop

Students of Rosli Mansor gathered at iShop by Club 21 (Orchard Cineleisure) for The Modern Guitarist Workshop on 2 August 2008. As a musician and guitar teacher, Rosli came up with the workshop idea to introduce his students to making music using technology. With that idea, he collaborated with Roy Lim from Psyche Music Productions to co-conduct the workshop. Roy is Rosli’s old friend, a guitarist and a Apple Certified Trainer for Logic Studio.

Logic Pro is Apple’s comprehensive suite of professional tools that provides musicians with everything they need to create in the studio on the stage, and for the screen. Logic Studio includes several components, of which two components: Logic Pro 8 and MainStage (Apple’s professional music application) were covered in this workshop.

At the end of the workshop, everyone indicated they want to see more of what Logic Pro 8 and MainStage can do in future workshops.

For now, here are the pictures taken during the workshop.

RM on Suria’s FYI, now on YouTube

For those who missed him on Suria’s FYI on 25 July, you can now watch it right here. Rough translations below.

ROUGH TRANSLATION:

VO: For Aliff, his deep interest in music destined him to meet one of our local great guitar player, Rosli Mansor. Through Rosli, Aliff learnt a lot about the instrument.

Host (to Aliff): Why did you choose Rosli Mansor as a mentor or idol in playing the instrument?

Aliff: Confident. How to believe in yourself. To be a strong guitar player.

Host (to Rosli): What do you think of Aliff as your student?

Rosli: He was quite an established football player when I questioned him if he was sure of taking guitar as a career. He insisted (on it) and so I shared with him the pros and cons of being a musician.

Host (to Aliff): What do you want to achieve or plan at this point in time?

Aliff: I want to do an instrumental album and I wish to see myself playing side by side with my teacher Rosli and Addy Cradle. If God’s willing, that is what I aim for now.
