Hi Everyone...

I just got my results online for my jazz piano grade 3, and I got 137 - Distinction!!!!!! I am so happy, can't believe it's true really biggrin.gif biggrin.gif biggrin.gif What a lovely start to my week. Also found out that my pupil got a 126 for her grade 3 classical piano too - how wonderful - she was really worred because she normally gets distinctions, but she had a really tough sight reading in the exam, but I think a merit is fantastic for her!

With the jazz exam, I was a bit worried as when I started my scales I played 2 of them swung, then realised he'd sayed straight, but I went back and did them again ... do you think they might have dropped 2 or 3 marks for that?

Still can't believe it ... cool.gif

Those who entered online can now see the results online once they are checked and in the post.
An email is sent (to the person who put in the entry) and the results can be accessed using the applicant number and password belonging to the applicant.

Yes, you check them with your applicant number and password, under online exam entries I think smile.gif I wasn't expecting it to be on there, I was just checking that I had the score right for my pupil... so you can imagine I was pleasantly suprised!

P.S. I've just checked one of my adult pupil's results online and he got a merit 122 in Jazz Piano Grade 1!! Not bad considering he's only been playing for a year and never played an instrument before! smile.gif

I am hoping to do grade 4 in the summer, or possibly even grade 5 ... the best thing is, is that i am enjoying it so much, it's a real change to classical piano (even though I love playing both styles). It's great to be able to improvise, as I've never really done much of it properly, before the jazz exams.

Would reccommend the exams to all those who want to learn jazz smile.gif

Jazz piano is different because you have to improvise on given chord progressions ... so if you are good at composing and playing by ear I am sure you'd love it.

That's fantastic that you've done your DipABRSM - very inspiring. As for students, I started by advertising in a newsagent and then built my student base through reccommendations - friends, cousins, etc. If you want to teach I am sure you would enjoy it. It's a very rewarding job! smile.gif
