Did you do grades and if so then how far did you get? I'm just starting my Grade 6 singing but i also know a lot of really good singers who never bothered doing grades, so i just wondered how many singers actually do grades.

Lots of luv

Hi Trisha. I did my Grade 6 in March, and changed teacher two months ago. She's ace. Not sure whether I'll do more exams, though am doing Grade 7 stuff with her at the moment. We're just getting to know one another, but she is trying to get me to join the local opera company. She's the artistic director. Not sure if I will or not yet. Time is a bit on the short side....

done my grade 8....planning to do my diploma....

I haven't done any grades but i am sitting for grade 5 theory, piano and flute practical next year

good luck and get going then....

did grade 4 the year i started singing lessons... grade 5 two years later... and grade 8 a year after that as a joke! i did manage to get distinction on all of them (not sure how)... i want to do a postgrad in voice at music college after i graduate from uni... not sure if i'll get in or not though...

you will get in....of course... but think.... i also want to go to music college... i did grade 8 after three years of training.... at 16....i think you have a greater chance than i do....
