(IMG:style_emoticons/default/hurrah.gif)): Son No.1 got a respectable pass (116) for Gr 6 trumpet despite the disaster on his study, and Son No.2 got a merit (126) for Gr 3 clarinet, so we are rather pleased and proud!! Congratulations! Still nothing here... W (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) |

I have a Gd 7 violin 134 and a Gd 2 violin 102 and I am most thrilled about the 102! The Gd 7 is incredibly talented and hard working and deserved her great mark but the Gd 2 is a kid who loves his violin and has almost insurmountable learning difficulties. He has slogged away for a very long time and insisted he wanted to do the exam, we timed it so he could do the old pieces with the easier scales that came in for 2012. On the day he played OK but totally lost it in the scales, he just cannot store all the patterns in his head. Sight reading and aural went out of the window too although he can do them when he is calm. The fact that he loves his instrument and is determined to play it even though his school friends think it uncool is wonderful to me and counts more than any marks.

Sometimes the little things count more than being the best or winning. Congatulations to everyone else on their results. |

Well done..... my pupils haven't even taken their exams yet (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) Love that quote about the wee boy who loves his instrument!, reminds me of my own son, who is ten and a half, has never told any of his friends he's been learning piano for almost 2 years, in case they think he's not cool!, he's about to sit grade 2 next Wed 21st!, I've got to tell the school he has a dentist appointment!, he'd never forgive me if his secret got out!!! Funny the way they think at that age, then when they get to like 15 at secondary school, suddenly the ones who can play along to the current chart hits become these amazing cool people that everyone wants to know! Well done to all with results, hopefully sons exam will go well nxt week!! |
