Yep, I've done reviews for all of grades 1-5, and some of 6, and the links are, as sbhoa says, at the top of the board (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I'm now working on Jumpin' and struggling with swing quavers. Is anyone else doing Grade 1? I'd like to hear how other people are getting on with it.

Is there anything in particular about the quavers that bothers you?

I'm not into jazz, and I'm finding the idea of swinging rather difficult to get to grips with.

I've listened to some jazz and to the CD and tried various ways of looking at it with my teacher's help but at the moment it's not really going in. I don't think the rest after the quavers helps. When I listen to the CD I find it hard to hear how long the rest should be and my usual counting seems to go askew.

I'll get there in the end! Or if not, I'll choose a different piece. I was interested to know if anyone else was in the same boat.

(I'm not taking the exam because of my CFS, so I don't have a deadline to work to.)

Might be worth putting a metronome to it fairyhedgehog, I think that'll help you get the rest in the right place. You can always remove the metronome when you're more confident (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I'm giving that a go! I'm not used to playing with a metronome and it looks like a good discipline.

It's not something I'd always recommend with every single piece, but in this case, I think it's ideal (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
