I know that for me personally these forums have been great!
I have had loads of great helpful advice, inspiration and enthusiasm from teachers, other students and lot's of musicians.
I just want to say thank you ABRSM forums for helping me be a better musician!

You're quite right, I've had lots of great advice and things too!!

So thanks forumers from me too!!

The forums themselves annoy me because of their childish word censoring. So alas, it's not the forums that are great, it's the people who post on them

Technicalities aside, yes, they're brilliant

E A S I L Y D--E-F-E-A-T-E-D - Nanny is not very bright!

You are right of course, but the ABRSM had to make the effort to provide the means to make it possible, so they deserve a little credit.

You're right, it is easily defeated, I was just a little taken-aback when I wrote something a couple of days ago and couldn't use a 3 letter word that applies to one's derrière. I thought it was a little extreme. But oh well.

And you're right on the second count too, so thanks ABRSM.

I think it's a helpful and stimulating community. For someone a bit isolated, like me, the forums are great.

'Tis true....


Although the chastising has been a bit much

Well, you did ask for it! You could always change your signature!

yes, it is indeed!

i got a lot of help of learning new instruments and improve my english too here

I can't complain - the only reason I object to being chastised is a guilty conscience - and I still need to be reminded of that. Until Thrusday, at any rate

yes i agree this is a very helpful aid i really enjoy the forums

LONG LIVE THE FORUMS XXXX

a very happy monkey

You don't happen to work for us do you piano*singing*lover....?

You should definitely give her a job in your PR department!

Haha no I don't, i'm only 18!

Although if you are offering...

I would love a job with the ABRSM, it would be great. It would be even greater if I got a big yamaha black grand piano free for working with the ABRSM

I'm always amazed at what comes out of these forums...

The ABRSM forums are the best in the world...ever!!! Nothing else (assuming there is anything else!!) comes anywhere near the wonderful ABRSM forums!!!

And the mods?! Wonderful people!

Dear EdGJ,

I need a new job and I need it NOW!!

Thank you for considering my application,
Love DaisyChain xx

Lol thats made me chuckle

Its also nice for keeping people like me in the musical 'loop' so to speak. With time as it is, my flute playing is sadly neglected, but I still feel like I'm learning new things, through the forums.

I have learnt so much from the people who contribute here, yet feel able to give so much too.

Having met a sample of people I have chatted to online at the Rotherhithe concert yesterday, there are some real plusses.

It would be good to think that our opinions do shape the way that the ABRSM works, nevertheless, being able to communicate with an organisation I use professionally as an exam board through the forums, and with parents, students, fellow perfomers and fellow teachers is something I value greatly.
