Explain to your teacher what happened, and play them the piece you have learned to prove you actually have been practicing? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

It'll get better, Clari-Netty-the scales will just "click" randomly and that'll be it, you'll be fine (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) are you taking an exam this session? If so, you still have a while yet to really work on your exam pieces without any mistakes, I bet you'll be fine (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

3 of my friends are now getting married this year.... Nooooooooo! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) They will end up needing a pass to go out, I know it!

This is after a handful of friends splitting/getting divorced over the past few years... I thought maybe some might have been a bit cautious after seeing the others' mistakes! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

I started clarinet about a year and a half ago, and when it comes to exams, I feel the same as you. If you don't feel ready to do the exam, wait until next term. Why the hurry? You must be doing well, but if it's having this effect on you, a few extra months might be a good idea. My teacher was fine about my decision to [s]chicken out[s] defer my clarinet exam, and I'm sure your teacher will understand too. Good luck!



Thanks noodle i must admit chickening out has crossed my mind once or twice (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ph34r.gif) , but i really dont want to give up on it, i dont like quitting and i'm still hopeing i can pull it together in time and am trying do get in as much practice in as possible. i have approximately 50 days practice left (till the first week of july) thats a potential of 100 hours (as i do on average 2 hours a day - some days more somedays less) if nearer the time i think i am setting myself up for a stunning fail well we'll seee......but hopefully i would have made a good progress by then and be more confident.

Aw, come on, be happy for them! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Only half of UK marriages end in divorce, so they have at least a 50:50 chance of making a go of it.

Maybe you're a teeny bit jealous? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

On the plus side, I will be able to get drunk and make a fool of myself for free at the receptions! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Nope, not jealous at all (just a tiny bit selfish I suppose), I love my freedom (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

EDIT: I look at the cost of an average wedding, then think about the cost of a decent grand piano. No contest, really!

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/rofl.gif) see earlier in the thread re: teenage pregnancy - "It won't happen to me" thinking at work (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

It's possible to have a lovely wedding which costs much much less than a grand piano! It is amazing though how much the average spend is (when I look at how far below average mine cost, I can't help but wonder about the couple who were the same amount above average!)...so much stuff ends up being done because that's what 'ought' to be the case.

See how you go, Netty : you've got the chance to have a dry run of your pieces with the piano at Sunbury at the end of the month. You certainly sound as though you're dedicated enough. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
