Hi Cleopatra. I'm a decrepit adult piano student also taking my Grade 7 piano this term. Perhaps we can support each other. What are you needing advice about?

If you don't mind spending a fiver, get hold of the teaching notes for the pieces - may be quite useful!

Hi Cleopatra

Which pieces are you playing?

I'm doing A2 Handel Fantasia in C
B4 Gliere Sketch in D# minor
C2 Anthony Payne Micro-Sonata

I'm enjoying the Handel and the Gliere the most - I chose the Payne because of my small hands, although I'm finding it interesting doing such a modern piece.

How are you finding the scales?

hi!

i'm doing A1,B5 and C3.
