February 29, 20169 yr comment_228760 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). Grade 5Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

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, 20169 yr by Tom Double posting
November 3, 20168 yr comment_243904 (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.

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.

December 14, 20168 yr comment_245929 Congrats that's great, I only ever got up to grade 3 - and for some reason decided to study music (tech) at uni.
December 14, 20168 yr comment_245930 I would never play an instrument they are just too hard to play and anyway I'm not a huge fan of music
December 14, 20168 yr comment_245931 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)
December 15, 20168 yr comment_245943 I can play the piano but very minimillay. Same with the ukulele. I can barely read sheet music. I used to be able to fluently, but I forgot it all.
