Wow, well done!!

Still waiting for mine and scared scared scared!!

Me too When did you take yours?

26th of March I think... woah was that it And i've written to them asking for special consideration due to a family crisis... bet that will slow things down!

Hope you get the result you want
I took mine on the 28th so I'm not expecting them that soon...

Got my results for grade 5 singing on April the third... just scraped through with 107...

I'll do better next time

Well done.

I took my Grade five on the 23rd March, still awaiting the result.
If I hadn't have had a bottle of water with me I think I would have passed out!

I agree. (thank goodness I had a bottle of water in my exam. I learnt my lesson from the last time).

i found out today
i passed my grade 6 piano

and im really very happy
xx

Piano - 116
Clarinet - 125 (merit).

A good result, since I was really nervous for the piano in particular and worried I hadn't passed ;-)

Well done....

well done everyone! i did my grade 8 flute on the 19th, so i probably won't get my results back til after the holidays...

Well done

Well this thread confused me. I was like "I dont remember starting that" and looked at the started date and was like "That's today". Then I realised it was last year!!

I'm awaiting my grade 5 violin results but I know I've failed so there's not much worrying to be done.

I've also just realised that I know somebody on these forums in person

Well done

Not mine, but my cousin's...he got 146 in Grade 5 Jazz sax. I'm stunned, I had no idea he was that good! He hasn't even been playing long, I'm not sure exactly but it can't be much more than 3 years or so.

I passed my grade 5 violin!! Only got 102 (terrible compared to the 138 in my clarinet exam last term) but still a pass. I thought I'd failed!!

That's great!" I'm so glad you did better than you feared.

I did grade 5 flute the other day with trinity guildhall, and i passed with 87/100 (distinction!)

Music hall: 21/22
Suite antique- Chanson: 22/22 (I was very shocked by that!)
Andersen study no.18: 18/22 (shocked by that too, cos i was awful!)
Scales: 8/14 (not brilliant)
Sight reading: 9/10
Aural: 9/10
Total: 87/100

Well done!!

But why does your sig say Grade 7 flute if you only just did grade 5?

never mind sorry thought it was this year

because i'm now doing grade 7 flute now.
I turned up to my lesson the day after my exam, and my flute teacher goes "lets do grade 7 shall we?", just randomly, and we went through what pieces to look at! all seemed rather sudden actually!
for grade 7 (trinity guildhall), im doing:

sonata in C HWV 365 by Handel (larghetto and allegro)
Romance for flute op.37 by Saint-saens

and we havent picked a third piece yet!

Jacob.

Man, everyone gets such good results. I skipped grade 1 violin, got 121 for grade 2, 105 for 3 , 110 - 4 and 105 again for 5 *sigh* maybe one day I will get a decent mark.

well done to you all though.

I sat G7 piano three weeks ago and got 117. I'm a bit disappointed as I know I could've got a merit but the examiner thought my pieces were "too loud" so I got: 24/30, 22/30 and 23/30., but I did well in all the other aspects, better thn usual in fact so I'm quite pleased.

Does anyone know if for Grade 8 you have to go to the same venue as you do for G1-7, as my exam room was really tiny, which was why my pieces seemed so loud I think?

You can go to whichever venue you like . Though within the venue I think there are certain criteria the exam area has to match, so if they've always used that room, they'll probably use it again, you don't get the option to change room.

hmm, that seems a VERY brave thing to do to me. My daughter has just passed her G7 trombone with 90% (Distinction) scoring maximum marks on one piece, 19 out of 22 for the other 2 and full marks for her aural but we wouldn't DREAM of moving on to G8 next term even though she can make a very decent attmept at at least two of the pieces. What about consoldating technique and perhaps learning your scales? There are an awful lot more scales at G7 than G5.

I would agree with that but didnt want to sound too grim. There's a big leap between 5 and 7. You have to know the major and minor scales for every key - including both forms of minor. I'm a scales freak but it's taking some work!! Not only that, but the performances need to be a LOT more musical and have solid technique for grade 7, whereas you can get away with a lot more at grade 5. Many grade 7 pieces require more extended techniques such as fluttertonguing which is worth working on.

Aw all those marks are amazing! As long as you did your best and enjoyed yourself it's cool! The only distinction I got was grade 1 piano. Bah! And I've finished my Grade 7 piano and awaiting results. This time - I'll be lucky to pass! But well done on the results!

I know it sounds a bit rushed, but my teacher knows what he's doing, so if he thinks im ready for grade 7, then why not!? I'm not planning on taking it until march 2009 though, because i dont want my piano to clash with flute (like it did when i had grade 5 piano and grade 3 flute, and the school young musician of the year competition all on the same day!!! ARGHH!)
I've seen the grade 7 TG flute scales, and there are a lot, but i know a fair few of them already, and i can play them all on the piano, so i have a good understanding of what they should SOUND like, its just playing that lovely top C in C major 3 octaves that im not too keen on!
I can already play the romance pretty well, because i've had the music for a while. the only bit im not very good at is the big chromatic scale at the bottom of the first page! I can also play the Handel quite well, but certainly no way near performance standard!
I'm not brilliant at flutter tounging (i can only do it when my flute teacher makes me laugh while playing, and i do something that sounds like it by accident!), but i can double tongue just about (although its not even all the time!), and am having a go at triple tounging, but i cant do the wierd sing while you play thing!

KixMusic, well done to your daughter! thats a fantastic result!
Morgan's Munchkin, good luck with your grade 7 flute!

Jacob.
