From last session other than mine?

Nothing as yet, Scaramouche. I've a feeling tomorrow could be the day! (Then again, my feelings are so often wrong that I don't kow why I bother to have them!! )

Wow - great excitement here!! Son passed with distinction! (Mind you, the words "with distinction" are the smallest on the certificate, so it's not immediately obvious!) Just to remind folk, it was DipABRSM in Music Performance on clarinet.

The most exciting bit was getting 24/25 for the Viva Voce, which was described as "at a level beyond that required". So all the research and effort put into the programme notes certainly paid off.

I think we are going to be celebrating this weekend!

Hope everyone else is pleased with their results.

Wow that's fantastic - congratulations to your son!!

Congratulations to BerkshireSon!!

Thanks very much, Babybird2 and Sarah123. It was certainly well worth the long wait for results!

Hope you hear soon, David.

Congratulations from us too! Hope my daughter's clarinet playing reaches such dizzying heights one day!!

How old is your daughter? My son was just reminiscing about discovering 3 years ago that someone had achieved a distinction in her DipABRSM, and thinking that he would never be able to do that! It's amazing how if you keep practising and have a good teacher (his is the best!) you can climb to greater heights than you ever thought possible.

I hope your daughter gets as much pleasure from her playing as my son has had from his over the years, whether or not she ever does a diploma.

Great result. Well done. You must be so pleased

Congratulations Berkshire Mum on your Berkshire Son's result, that's amazing!!!

from Hampshire sitting on the front doorstep all week, frustrated at the lateness of the postman person.

(I'm not really that bad )

Yes, I'm like a cat who's got the cream! BerkshireSon is still beaming from ear to ear 12 hours on! We were lucky to hear so soon, I think.

Good luck to all those still waiting.

Huge congrats to BerkshireSon! (And Mum, of course!)

Thanks, Cyrilla! It's amazing how so many forumites respond so warmly to someone they've never met. It's much appreciated - you really are a lovely lot.

She's 12 and working for Grade 6. She does enjoy her clarinet playing but actually is probably not motivated enough to take it as far as your son has done. We'll see!

To be at grade 6 by 12 is pretty good. She must be somewhat motivated!

I'm very thankfull to be able to say "I PASSED!"


Phew!!!

Congratulations!

Yes, BerkshireMum, when WILL they get their priorities right!!! Thanks for that, I burst out laughing when I read it.

Congratulations to your son, and congratulations Muddy Paws.

Must be quite something to look back when your have your diploma, and think about those first music lessons...

Hurrah! I'm so glad for you - isn't the certificate nice; shall you display it in your teaching room?

Well done

Thankyou, yes I will. Off to buy a frame tomorrow.

Well done, Muddy Paws!

Many congratulations!

CONGRATULATIONS! What wonderful news.

As for me, I spent a week in Wales with a twisted stomach at the thought of what was on the doormat, spent a rather apprehensive 4-hour car journey, and got back to find -

no post from ABRSM.


Monday?!

Okay, forget the above post - I just had a second thought. I jokingly told my parents, who aren't at home at the moment, that they should put the envelope under my pillow when it came.

I just looked under my pillow.





I passed my LRSM with distinction!!! I'm SO relieved!
73% and a very happy cellocase.

I did my DipABRSM piano teaching and was convinced that if I did pass I would only have scraped through, so it's been a very tense week - but I got a distinction! So happy.

Now come the really scary bit - actually starting to teach!

Congratulations.
That's better than 20p from the tooth fairy.

Congratulations to your son BerkshireMum, Muddy Paws and cellocase and dolcebaby! What wonderful news.

As for me - I've been reading this forum very nervously, watching the results coming in, dreading how I'm going to say that I've failed...But I PASSED! I really can't believe it as I'd convinced myself that I'd failed. I probably could have done a bit better, but that's not the point - I can now stick DipABRSM after my name!

And also to Scaramouche and to you, joueur

*Don't venture into this neck of the woods much, so have only just seen these great results!*

For the past few weeks I've managed to convince myself that I'd failed. But today my youngest son opened the door to the postie as the CERTIFICATE envelope wouldn't fit through the postbox!! So I passed!!!

DipABRSM on Principles of Vocal Teaching!!!

Not a distinction, but I didn't expect one as my head was all over the place having only just moved house a couple of weeks before.

Sarah

Thank you Daisy Chain.

Congratulations Sarah!

I don't think I've congratulated Scaramouche yet, either, so congratulations!!

Congrats to all on passing.

Just got back from two weeks in Italy to find a certificate on the door mat! Still a bit shell shocked as was convinced I'd failed (again).

many congrats to all. let the parties begin.

you guys should update your signature then.

Many congratulations to all of you!

Well Done everybody. (I'd make a list, but there's so many.)

CONGRATULATIONS!!!

Wow! What a great crop of results this session!
Congratulations, all of you!

WELL DONE to everyone - a great set of results and lots of distinctions too!!

Special congratulations to my fellow clarinettists BerkshireSon (thanks to Mum for your support with my accompanist fiasco at Christmas!) and vulpus_rex - I thought you would pass this time. Thank you for sharing commiserations with me last year - now you can finally celebrate!

How lovely to come on here tonight and find so many super results - many congratulations to cellocase, dolcebaby, Sarah Doyle, joueur and vulpus_rex.

Thanks for all your congratulations to BerkshireSon.

I think we are still waiting to hear from:

jazzywench
jo0425
Miri
JimBob
Martin Clarke

and probably others I'm not aware of. Hope you've all done OK.

Wow - excellent results! Well done to all!

Well done, everyone. Great results

Congratulations everyone

Congratulations everyone. Especially Cellocase (not that I'm biased towards the cello!!!). You must be such a natural. Distinctions in both your Dip and LRSM!!! Did you decide in the end to study music at Uni or are you going to do a post grad course?

Thank you I'm very happy, especially since I'd convinced myself I'd failed.
No, I'm going to study Classics at uni, actually - I might well do a postgrad, though. Maybe I'll even think about that FRSM after uni....not for many years, though!

I passed my DipABRSM Piano Teaching!

Thanks for special congratulations EllieWelly - I am now going to have a sneaky look at the LRSM propsectus!

Wow - I haven't even thought about it! But that is because I had my second baby in May (another girl )

Well done Martin!

Well done everyone!! I just think you're all fantastic!!!

Fantastic! Thanks for letting us know how it went.

Only just spotted this thread. Are we counting Trinity exams as well?

Got the ATCL recital (piano) a few weeks ago. At least I hope so - the certificate still hasn't come!

Didn't get distinction though.

Mel

Well done, Martin and mel2!
