As you may or may not know i have only been playing the flute for about a month or so but i can already play the stuff on the grade 5 list.
I don't see the point in going right from grade 1 on this and i have been told by music teacher and other flautist i have a really good sound already! Good enough for gd. 5 / 6. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Is it possible to do the Gd. 5 flute around the winter time? Teacher thinks this is achievable i'm not sure as never really skipped grades on other instruments. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif) If so which pieces seem the nicest?! |

Not aimed at you in particular, but sometimes it's best not to rush through exams. Ok, you may be able to play the grade 5 pieces but may it not be best to do a lower grade, sort out technique, embouchure and play the pieces better?

I think its better, say, to attempt grade 4 with confidence, rather than try grade 5 with the thought in the back of your mind that you might not do as well. Welcome to the AB forum Beth, hope you enjoy using the various fora here! |
