About the event
Lecture content
Decoding the scoring criteria: from "playing correctly" to "playing the winning song"
Decoding the scoring table: Comparing the weight distribution of "technical points" and "artistic points" (e.g., pitch errors vs. bland phrases, which one will be deducted more?)
Judges' psychology: The key to the "first impression" in the first 30 seconds (posture, timbre, and track recognition), how to handle mistakes to "minimize deductions" (demonstrating techniques for covering up wrong notes)
