Fear not liebie_klavier it's going to be the people that have done well that will post the rest are far less likely to post.

I have to say though that it is nice to see people comparing marks and thinking about doing well rather than the usual 'I got to grade 8 faster than you it doesn't matter what I got' the only thing that is dissapointing is that we have to have the ages to turn it into a race again....

violin
grade 1-121
grade 2-116
grade 3-126
grade 4-124
grade 5-132

grade 8 :age 14 (but only got 117) grade 8: age 16 (only got 123/150)

only?!

if I'd done Grade 8 piano at 14 I'd be pleased with a pass! especially one as good as that... and Grade 8 merit singing at 16... most people don't even consider Grade 8 singing until they've left school...

some people work for years and years and don't get their grade 8 until their 20s or even later... my brother's cello teacher is a good example, she decided to wait before taking it and ended up with 148/150.

my point is that you can't really describe passing two grade 8s before you're old enough to vote as "only" a mere achievement.

be a bit more proud of yourself please.

suppose Ill show my marks too.....

Piano
grade 4 aged 15 78%
grade 6 aged 16 84%
grade 8 aged 17 83%
performers certificate aged 17( ish?) 63%

Theory
grade 8 didnt have to do the exams

Recorder
grade 3 didnt take exams.stopped there

mandolin
dunno what grade i got. dont think there are grade exams for it, anywhere.

done grade 8 piano and grade 7 in flute and violin. im doing advanced level(grade 8) piano duet soon. and we're also planning to do advanced level piano quartet soon lol.

"""it's going to be the people that have done well that will post the rest are far less likely to post. """"""""""""""

(sorry don't know how to quote properly!)

Here are mine.......

PIANO:

Grade 1: 124/150 aged 17
Grade 2: 126/150 aged 17
Grade 3: 117/150 aged 17
Grade 4: 95/150 aged 18 (yes, it's a fail!)
Grade 4 (again) 124/150 aged 18

To be honest the music exams I took proved to be the cause of a lot of self-consciousness problems later on and I wish I hadn't taken them. So I got certificates - so what? That doesn't automatically make me play better and I underwent a lot of stress when taking them. It's inadvisable to do three grades in a year - you just have to unpick what you did hastily later on. The reason was I didn't have a piano until I was 17 hence the eagerness to prove myself.

I did theory too... I can't remember what I got marks-wise but I got distinction in grades 1-5 - I actually really enjoyed theory!!!!!!!!!!

A big Well Done to all of you out there though, it's amazing to see the talent and motivation out there

QUOTE (liebe_klavier @ Nov 10 2004, 10:17 AM)

grade 8 :age 14 (but only got 117)

Only 117? May not be in the 140's but is still one heck of a mark. A pass is something to be proud of! If it was 17 then yes, i would say only but 117?? YOu are forbidden to say only 117 again

At the end of the day, marks are only marks, a pass is brill! And even jsut havin gthe courage to get in that room deserves a certificate to me!

Anyway, this is when my terrible memory plays up...

can't remember exact marks but they have all been 130 + from grade 1-6 piano and clarinet...

Highest was 148 (Clarinet grade 2) and lowest 130 (Grade 5 piano).

Funniest thing with clarinet was i'd managed to pass grade 1 and 2 with distinction in 8 months approx

I am not showing off, just filled with pride...

Or is that the same thing?

Wow kees, 148 is one heck of a mark...

i think the fact that most people here love music, and are still playing their instruments, is a pretty amazing thing in itself, - it takes loads of commitment, and TLC.(for want of a better phrase!)
liebe klavier- are you going for music college?? if so what ones have you got in mind??

my exams:

organ- no exams(no time!), though looking at pieces on the G8 syllabus

play bass guitar and double bass for fun in a band, no exams and no intention of taking exams.
I have spent my life being pushed by my father, and practically quit due to pressure and stress, and general teenage rebellion, but music is far to precious to me, and you wont catch me quitting now. - just enjoying every moment of it.

I got a merit for my grade 6 sax on Thursday! 75/100! (it was Trinity, o the shame....) Grade 6 piano tomorow...

Do the board have everyone on record by name? Cos that means that they could look at your results and say "Well! Her playing has deteriorated in the past two years!"...Just a thought!
