Hi

This is my 1st music exam (Clarinet grade 2)EVER!!

Its in 5 months, what should i do???

Don't panic, practise regularly and enjoy the music (including scales, sight-reading, etc)

This brings back memories of my own first exam! It is can be scary but its also an enjoyable experience! Remember the examiner wants you to well just as much as u do. It may seem a scary thought just now but when u get in to da xam ull b fine! Trust me! if u do ur practise then u dont hav much 2 worry about grade 2s not that bad ok it may not seem tht way just now but honestly itisnt!

all da best

Hi Gemma

I no how scary exams can be ive done 18 of them!!!! not all on clarinet it has to be said! jus make sure that u feel confident on all aspects of the exam especially those scales!!!
go in there and feel confident as it will come through in ure performance.

sight read as often as u can and stay calm!
let me know how you get on

Don't panic, listen to your teachers advice, practice regularly but not so much you feel exhausted, and don't worry because exams aren't that bad - try and think positively, you won't be any worse/better a musician for taking the actual exam, you will just have a good indication of your standard of playing.If it helps my first exam was grade 2 as well, and although i was nervous, i passed and the examiner was very very nice!!Also, remember if you practice your playing can only get better Good luck!!!

I always get rlly scared b4 exams and not just my first!!!! Just practice hard until your confident and try not to over practise until you h8t them!!!! Just enuf to make sure u no them well and still enjoy the pieces.
Dont get hung up on the exam just enjoy it youl porobably pass ne way and if u cn relax uve got a berttr chance of doing well ive found.

I've just sat my first exam and i was really nervous with it. but if i was you, i'd do an hours practice the day of the exam if you have time, make sure you have enough sleep so you're not tired and the most important part i find is that if you go in smiling you will feel more confident in yourself and you might even find that you play better.
