Wow Hannah that's amazing - 141 is definately a big achievement at any grade, let alone grade 8!! I took my grade 8 piano on the 12th July, but haven't had the result back yet. What was your mark breakdown? I'm really anxious to know my result - when did you take yours?

Jack.

thanks jess

i took my exam on July 8th, so yours should come through soon! hope you did well, im sure you did

for my pieces i got 28, 29 and 30! seems it got better as i went along........ then i got 20 for scales, 18 for sightreading and 16 for aural (really pleased bout the aural cos i was sooo worried).

Wow! Well done that's an amazing mark .

Wow - which piece did you score 30 marks for hannah? I know what you mean about the aural - grade 8 is such a big step up from any of the other grades - so 16 is very good.

Jack

Excellent result............ well Done

Well done, Hannah! That's brilliant!

My teacher has mentioned it - but there's no rush, so we're just working on repertoire which I may be able to use for the Diploma exam. and i have GCSEs next year.

GCSEs... *shiver*... only done one (music, naturally) so far... got the rest to look forward to- not

oh. my. god. thats is amazing hannah!! well done its brilliant!!

that's amamzing...well done!

Felicitations Hannah well done

Wa! Very Good!

It is really excellent to get high marks especially in grade 8 . Hannah , Congracts and you go for diploma if you have already passed your grade 6 theory. Good Luck in all your future ventures God Bless

...you go for diploma if you have already passed your grade 6 theory.

You don't need grade 6 theory to do a performance diploma; only for a teaching one.

would grade 7 or 8 do equally well, or does it have to be grade 6?
likewise, if you've got grade 6 theory, do you still have to have taken grade 5 in order to take, say, a grade 7 practical exam?

Ai.......one more case that piano consumes a human lifetime.

One more person losing most of his time on piano --- practising for many hours everyday, repeating some old songs again and again which in fact they are already played by others millions times.

I do play piano but I strictly limit time spending on it. Say, 30-60mins. There are many more important things to do, for myself and for other people.

Grade 5 or above counts as ok for the theory requirement.
If you have 6 or above you don't need to have done grade 5.

Wow..... well done. keep it up!

I just passed my grade 6 theory :-) I got 73%

Welldone I only got to Grade 5 theory and didn't get further than thinking about Grade 6 cos its such a big leap up. But I might be doing A Level music next year, in which case there's not a lot of point.

Hi,

I was the person who on another post complained about the Piano being a light touch and that I should have done the scales first. I thought I did quite bad in my first Piano Exam (Grade 3) but I got my result tonight and I have passed with merit (125/150.) Hooray!

Thanks to all the wonderful posts I read before and after the exam.
Regards,
Craig

I got a distinction-just- for my Grade 2. Yipeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well done to everyone else btw.

Hey Craig,
Which pieces did you play?

I passed!!!!! with merit!!! I got 124/150 in my grade 3 piano exam, the first thing I said though when I read through what the examiner said though, was 'you can't GET dynamic expression on that piano!' so I was a bit disappointed because if it was a nicer piano I might have been able to get a couple more marks!

Excellent result............ well Done

i agree that is really good.

Does anyone know if it is possible to get your results online?
I still havent got mine and i guess am now like super anxious.

Well done everyone

Hi Lucy,

I played -

A3: Allegretto by Hook (this song drove everyone mad in the house!!)
B3: Study in A minor by Mayer (I messed up the middle part though during the exam)
C3: Tango III by Seiber (I absolutely love this piece and have added it to my own playing pieces.)

What did you play?

Regards,
Craig

well done everyone....great results!!!!

Craig,
I've learnt A1 the Polonaise
Lullaby by Grechanov-'scuse spelling
Clouds and the Tango-I love this one.
I'm not sure wether to sit the exam in the autumn/winter or maybe skip it. I 'm worried the pieces are going to get a bit stale by the time it comes around.
