SpuffySammy Posted February 29, 2016 Report Share Posted February 29, 2016 Ooh, what grade? Seeing as your still playing (jumping to conclusions) you play first trumpet and toofpikk (now Heather something) will play second (this is non-serious at the moment btw, it could happen though).

Matt, update the list. Another post: Doing grade 7 trombone this term! I've only been playing for 4 years lol, trombone is definitely a natural instrument for me And why is this topic dying? The same can also be said about the 'music' topic. Edited May 15, 2016 by Tom Double posting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlesberg Posted November 3, 2016 Report Share Posted November 3, 2016 (I apologise for the double post, it was only for the sake of alerting this topic as editing the last post would lead to no one reading it) Just got one of my Grade 8 trombone pieces. It's 4 pages long... To put it in comparison, my grade 7 pieces were no longer than about a page and a quarter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just do lots of past papers and you will be fine. I remember I found theory fairly stressful when practicing, etc. But when it got to the exam, I couldn't be any more relaxed. I then ended up with a distinction A pass is about 66/100 I think so the standards of passing are quite low. The questions are basically the same each time except with different notes (and worlds for the song question, which is optional). So you'll be absolutely fine when you get to the exam. Plus, the invidulators are very laid back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh3103 Posted December 14, 2016 Report Share Posted December 14, 2016 I would never play an instrument they are just too hard to play and anyway I'm not a huge fan of music Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThemeParkCrafter Posted December 14, 2016 Report Share Posted December 14, 2016 Don't be put off by how hard the instrument may sound. Saxophone for instance, is not too hard to play and you have a variety of styles to play (from jazz to pop to classical) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
