I have been lurking around the forums for over a year now and have found them really interesting and helpful.

I play the violin and passed Grade 5 in 1971. This was followed by a l-o-o-n-g gap! At the beginning of 2008 I restarted lessons, and passed Grade 7 in July 2009, with 128 (alas, the aural tests! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) )

For the past year I've also been playing in a local orchestra, which has been a great experience, and hope to continue this and perhaps join a second orchestra from September.

I look forward to reading about others' musical experience on the forums.

Hope you have fun here! Have a look at the Adult Learners' forum to share experiences with other adult learners, and Viva Strings for all things stringy! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Hey everyone - many thanks for the words of welcome! Been meaning to post for ages, but had inadvertently chosen a name very similar to that of a fairly prolific poster on here already, and didn't want to cause confusion.

Eventually I thought of a new name and got round to changing it!

Wow - just discovered all the smilies! This is me: (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mornincoffee.gif)

Hi Gerainium and welcome to the forums. I'm an aspiring violin player and can say safely that the ABRSM Forums are a really nice place to hang out. I'm a new guy here and Im loving it so far. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I've been here in these forums since 3 and a half years ago and I NEVER noticed this bit for the new members to introduce themselves!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blush.gif)
Now that I have I'll 'keep an eye on it'
