ooooh text speak - I am already frowning on it! Don't know the pieces myself - what is your actual problem with the rhythm??

Good luck!

Have you got another lesson before your exam so that you can ask your teacher to work on it with you?

If you tell us which bar and talk in English, you're bound to get some help.

yes sorry about that.. Andy ..on my piece its more timing rather than the rhythm im having trouble with now and i have 1 more lesson with my teacher as my exam is on Wedneday 14th. I'm having trouble with bars 14 - 15 . ... where you have to quickly slide from place to place i think the left hand is troubling me more ..i have tried to play slowly as my teacher advised me but when i put it all together again it ends up all wrong ..

Are you finding it difficult to get your left thumb on the E in bar 15? Just wondered - I may be way off !

HI. If your teacher can`t help you with this sort of thing I`d advise getting another teacher. However that`s not going to help you right now so the only things I can think of (I`ve taught the music but don`t have it on me, yes the rhythms are tricky) Make sure you are using the correct fingering (many teachers, believe it or not wouldn`t point that out, I hope yours has, lol) and just keep trying slowly. The other problem may be that you don`t have enough relaxation in your body and I mean all of your body even down to the feet. Most problems, assuming fingering is correct amd rhythms and notes understood, are down to physical tension. Good luck

HI . Thank you for the advice I have taken it into consideration.. and funnilly enough it's worked . Im finding it alot more easier to play and I am enjoying it much more... so hopefully I will be alright for my exam next week.Thank You!!!
