Its been 3 weeks today since my daughter did her Grade 2 piano exam! I'm not the most patient person by nature, and this feels like torure

Every time the phone rings, I am hoping it is her piano teacher with the results Lets hope they're here soon, and then we go through it all again with my other daughter who is doing Grade 2 in June.

I find this bit hard too. We waited 3 weeks and 2 days for the sax results and we are waiting for a Grade 3 piano taken on 7th April.
Theory results take longer!!!!
Good luck.

My students took their exams on the 31st March.....and I'm still waiting!

My daughter took Grade 5 singing and Grade 2 piano at school on 23 and 24 March. We expect to get the results some time after she goes back to school on Tuesday this week. This time the wait has not been as bad as it usually is because I knew we could not expect to hear anything during the holidays, so the exams have been largely forgotten about. Usually I am watching the post/waiting for the phone/checking the website depending on who made the entry! I shall be on tenterhooks next week, however.

Good luck to all who are still waiting DD took her exam on the 30th March, so it seems that all those who took exams around that time are still waiting

Yes, I'm still waiting for No 3 son's singing Grade 7 result. He took the exam on 31st March. I've just been into college to teach, and the music administrator is off sick, so I hope that doesn't delay the results still further.

Yes - I'm still waiting for some results of 2 piano exams that my pupils took on 2nd April.

I've learnt from experience not to phone the board because it only delays them in working on the stuff to send out, but if I'm still waiting this time next week, I shall phone because then it would be "too long". This did happen once, I waited about 4 -5 weeks for an exam result and really felt for the pupil. Apparently the examiner hadn't posted the papers or something. The board were very apologetic and were obviously working hard behind the scenes to catch up with the errant examiner.

I think the delays this time must be due to the long bank holiday.

Good luck to all those waiting for results still. we join the wait again on Friday

Got ours last Thursday - exactly 4 weeks after the exam. Apart from theory I think that's the longest we ever had to wait.

My daughter's gr 5 flute took 7 weeks!!!!! She had taken the exam at a specialist musci school (she doesn't go there) and the school had made a complaint about the exam session and this meant all the results were delayed!!!

Daughter just texted me her results. 126 for the singing and 132 for the piano, so very pleased with both!

Well done to her!

Well done, excellent results We're still waiting, I don't think my daughters teacher uses the website though to look for results, so its waiting until they arrive in the post.

Congratulations!! Really good results.

Great results. Well done to your daughter.
Dora

It's the same for us. My daughter took Grade 7 flute on 31st March and we are still waiting! She eventually rang her teacher today incase he had forgotten to ring her!!!!!!!!!!!! The results still haven't arrived in the post but he says if they don't arrive tomorrow he is going to ring the board.
I can't be doing with the waiting and the charging to the phone every time it rings.

Unusually long wait for daughter's spring results but at last.......

Grade 8 Alto Sax .
A 28
B 29
C 30
Scales 19
S/R 20
Aural 16

142 - a distinction

Congratulations a really excellent result!

Oh my god... this calls for a celebration!!!! Let's party till we all drop. Simply exemplary

That's a fantastic result! Congratulations

Thank you all of you. We have come to the end of a very long road and I for one am very tired but delighted for our youngest!

[We have decided that the diploma is far too expensive at £168, so she will give that a miss, and is now going to potter along and take music at her own pace]

Wow!!! What an amazing result! Your daughter must be absolutely thrilled. Hope she continues to enjoy her music-making for many years to come.

It's a fair chunk to find in one go but as it's likely you are looking at a minimum of 12 months preparation it could be saved for at a nice gentle pace for someone who really wants to go for it.

Awesome result.

Wow!! Brilliant - I'm off to the tavern for a celebratory pint. Cheers!!

Wow. That is a terrific result.
Dora

Got Emsoboes results today. G7 Oboe 127 and G5 Piano 123.

Really pleased with the Piano result as she did all the work in a term. Can't believe how far she's come in a little over a year. It's a result i'd never have thought possible.

She was lucky to get through the Oboe exam being ill but reading between the lines the examiner had little understanding of double reed instruments. I guess that's how it goes sometime.

Luckily there are so many opportunities around at the moment. It still annoys me that despite all the supposed training there are still gaps in understanding.

Well done Emsoboe

Well done to Emsoboe. It is a great result! There are so many variables in exams and being ill can't have helped.
We are now waiting again, as violin daughter took an ensemble exam last Friday.
Violinma

I think we must be mad!!

Exams are over for this session but an audition looms after GCSE Music on Wednesday.

Good luck to your daughter, ensemble exams are something we haven't tried yet

Thanks BB

Different Grades and instruments but those exactly match Beth's results this time. Quite a coincidence. Well done Emsoboe. The piano result is amazing.
Dora

Only just seen this! Well done. Great results

Well done to Emsoboe Great results!

Gosh thats a late result! What is happening with ABRSM?

Still Congratulations on Emsoboes results two exams in one terms!

and good luck with the audition.

It was a special visit 4 exams in one term, 2 whilst she was ill and GCSE listening paper today , followed by audition. Hopefully now she'll be able to concentrate on playing more and exams less. It was part of our plan that she would begin easing off around the start of year 10.

Thanks for all the Congratulations.

Finally got my daughter's result after a 6 week wait. (I live in Turkey so I suppose this is normal here.)
She passed Grade 1 with a merit. She is seven years old. Listening through the door at the exam I heard her start her first piece an octave too low. (We only have a Yamaha electric piano at home and she couldn't find her way on a real piano!!) Her sight reading was also really bad (she failed that part) so all in all we are really pleased with her result. As she is also my first and only student I am really relieved.

Congratulations to you both! That's an excellent result for a 7 year old.

Congratulations - worth the long wait!

Congratulations to you and your daughter, Buffy!

We don't seem to have such a long wait for results as we used to - though maybe I've just got used to it!

Well done !

I think it's very nerve-wracking entering your first pupil especially when it's your own child and you're in a different country. At least your daughter is, I assume, fluent in English.

I enter a lot of English and French children but I have no real contact with other pupils of the same level and certainly not ones following the same sort of programme.

Well done to both of you.
