anyways i now have (finally) time to myself and decided to check up on you all (he he he!)...

saturday i have string band- and i am very proud of myself because though i am a grade 1/2 (thats between 1 and 2 - not half!!) i have joined the senior string band - and apparently they do very hard stuff so i'm gonna be working my ..er... self really hard if im gonna be their standards!!!

also wondering if anyone is starting the violin - i feel like a baby compared to l these grade 3s, 4s, 5s , 6s, 7s, and 8s maybe even higher!! im serious now...also i will be very kind to you; not that im always kind because i am!!

okay i better stop now before something happens. also is anyone doing GCSE music? tell me how it is please! my friends are doing it: one says its easy another says its hard and i dunno what to think anymore!! did u pass? what did u get?

okay REPLY TO ME i am lonely now...nah not really..

YES!!! YES!!! PLEEEEEEEEEEASE DO GCSE MUSIC!!! IT IS THE BEST!!!

I took it last year (I got A*) and now I'm working for my AS level... I loved GCSE music- you have to take it!

I am loving GCSE music, even though we've only had 4 lessons and we're already doing coursework! We're doing music for dance at the moment. Who else is doing GCSE music?

um, school sucks

Hey,

I've just started doing GCSE music and it's ok!! Only had a few lessons, no coursework yet, been doing a bit of composing but not PROPER composing (if you know what I mean!) (if u don't, i mean u r given a starter bit of music, and then you make up a few bars by yourself, it's EASY!!!!!)

Can't wait to do the performing bit!!

I play the violin, grade 5. I think there a quite a few people on here who wanna start violin so you're not on your own!!! Good luck with it!

Luv Jade. x

im rubbish at violin if that makes you feel any better!

Jade- i take it, you're loving GCSE music?! so you should be!

What's in the GCSE exams? I don't think we have it here in Malaysia.

Kinda......but I've only had a few lessons!!!! It makes it sooooo much easier being able to read music and play an instrument, my friend has taken GCSE music and she can't read music OR play an instrument yet....I think she's gonna take up singing lessons soon though

GCSEs (General Certificate of Secondary Education) are the exams that are taken in the UK (except Scotland) by everyone when they leave school (or before they continue on to sixth form). There are GCSEs in lots of subjects (Maths, English, Science, IT, French, Geography, Music etc.) people study for them in the last two years of school and most people take about 9 or 10 subjects (exept for the fancy people here who do about 14 ).

For GCSE music you have to do performing, composing and listening and each is (usually) weighted equally.

Jade- i know what you mean about it being easier when you can play etc

when i did it, my best mate took it jsut coz i did! i realised she could sing and helped her soo much and she got a C( veeeeery good for her!) now she's doing music at college! YAY a success!

Natalie- My best friend has also taken GCSE music (not the same friend I mentioned a while ago), and I taught her how to read music and play recorder last year to help her out a bit.

Jade!- kool! we seem to forget about ourselves and help everybody else!LOL
