Not sure if they will mark this wrong ar give you the benefit of the doubt. It is after all a music exam not a spelling test.

Oh violin. A little ray of hope there for me as I play violin so at least I knew the range and how to put in bowings and such stuff. However I think the melody I wrote was very wierd to say the least :unsure:

I did my grade 5 theory too. I did f sharp harmonic minor wrong! agghh! Other than that I thought it was ok. I'm really bad at intervals though! I thought the cadences were fine on the last question :)

How do you know you did it wrong?? If you knew it was wrong, why couldn't you do it right?

I had to write down my crib list for intervals.....that's the only way I can do them.

What did everyone else put? oh no! I think i've got it wrong! Was the ornament an appoggiatura? I hope so! I put acciaccatura then changed it becasue i remembered than an acciaccatura has a line through it but knowing me i probably have got them teh wrong way round!

I got 4/4 on the first question. and appoggiatura.

I found it ok, but the composition i found really hard (violin). I was worried about the performance directions.

hope everyone did well

I can't remember the questions now, so can't remember what I put. But 4/4 and appoggiatura sound familiar, so hopefully got them right :rolleyes:

i am sure you did. I the moment i got in the car, I checked my theory guide for the performance direction to see if I had got it right...(also to check other things which i weren't quite sure on).

It was really annoying that there was nothing to do with alto or tenor clef
