DS sent me an email tonight saying:
QUOTE A major,e flat major,a minor,c crom.,dim in e, i cant remember the arps. sinfonia was ok/good, one mistake in montagues,scenas was good. reed ok,sung aural test with conviction and sight reading was great i think, i think illl get a merit/distinction! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) A minor, Eb major are two of his easiest scales and A major was one of his better. Dim in E normally a breeze and although better at A chromatic, C was ok too so unless the arpeggios were awful I think this swung in his favour. I was hoping Sinfonia was spot on because when he gets it right it sounds amazing and examiner may have been more forgiving of other stuff. Who knows what he'll get but unless he has really guzzed it I am going to stick my neck out and say anywhere between 119 - 125! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif) Thanks to everyone who helped him in the run up to his exam (SueHM) and everyone who helped me in the run up to his exam. :hammockandcocktailemoticon: |

I have actually gone from being worried he'd get a low mark to being positively furious with the examiner if he gets below 115! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ph34r.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Daughter is in last year at current school and the wretched school play is taking over their lives! Additional after school rehearsals this week when daughters exams are on Thursday and she could really do with the extra home time to chill out and get some practise in. Two music exams in one day, luckily violin exam first as I think piano is going to be "challenging" judging from listening to last nights practise session (cringe) and then having to break my midweek no alcohol rule as a result! My prediction - violin exam - 120s would be great, capable of distinction but not sure as there a few things that might go wrong (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ill.gif) . As for piano, anything over 100 will be a result! Pimms on standby, if I can resist it that long............ |

Daughter's theory grade 5 - "Went pretty darn well, I think, merit, I may even have a distinction!"
I'm going with merit!!! Singing Grade 5 she hopes for a merit due to dodgy sightsinging and accompanist error, but if he really liked her pieces she's hoping she might get 130!! Mmmmm 120-125 more like it, i think. Should find out in a few days.... Pimms on standby!! |

I'm so pleased that DS isn't doing an exam this term and I sympathize with you all going through it. Then again I could still do with a Pimms myself!
Talking of school plays etc - the so called new "Head of Music' has not been putting any pupils forward for our local trust music days, etc. Turns out that she had been spending loads of time on the 'Isle of White' assembly that lasted an hour (they are usually 30 mins and Headmaster was a bit embarrassed!) and was like a professional production. Then the school Instrumental Concert is the day of the bl**dy teacher's strike and may be cancelled after weeks of practise. DS is getting really fed up of the 11+ training and has a strop at the littlest thing. Then he came home and announced that he'd decided to put himself up for Pupils Parliament so he's been writing and rewriting speeches, making posters and stickers! Plus he could do with some inspiration with his Viola! I know it's all not the same as the run-up to exams or the post exam waiting, but I really thought that we would get a quiet term. I haven't seen anything of Wimbledon yet! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) Anyway, my whinge over for today! Good Luck for the coming exams and results - I'm hoping to hear lots of fantastic marks in the coming days/weeks. TDM - We're all waiting to see if you're right - your reputation is on the line here!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Hey if you are, you could start making money predicting results! Mystic TDM!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) Ooo - I just heard DS say "I love that piece Daddy" after playing Sailor's Hornpipe frantically!!! I feel a bit ill - I may need to sit down! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) DS turns 10 tomorrow so maybe that'll be a new start - yeah right!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ph34r.gif) |
