Hi guys,
Another lot of random questions from me, but I just want to see how everyone averages out (in a kind way

)

Hahaha *hides*

I should kick myself for not reading the poll questions properly

I thought it was asking what grade I'm at NOW!
My first grade was 1...not 8...heh...
Took grade one after about a year
Started playing aged 9, am now 16

Can't answer this as I haven't taken a grade, but i'm hoping to do grade 8 soon

I started when I was 12, been playing 3/4 years.

Started about 6. I can't really remember how old I was when I did Grade 1. I think I was 8 cos i never practised haha! Then Grade 2 nearly two years ago. Grade 3 four months after that. Grade 4 nearly a year ago, and I'm doing Grade 5 in November. So I was a bit slower than some people.

Started aged about 12. Stopped a year later having made virtually no progress aged about 13. Can't remember the exact dates.
Re-started after not touching a piano for about a quarter of a century aged almost 38. First exam grade 5 aged almost 39 after three terms or thereabouts.
