Hi everyone, im an amature pianist from the opposite side of your world. Joined the forums some 2 years back but could not keep up as was busy studying for masters. Will be graduating with a masters in anaesthesiology on tuesday. Have been posted out to a district hospital and its terribly boring out here, but m not really complaining as this leaves me with loads of time for practice. I obtained grd 8 abrsm and then LTCL in 1990 then had to break - off to concentrate on the MBBS. Ive resumed lessons over the past 6 years and attempted the dip abrsm 4 years back but failed the sight reading component. I then decided to regroup and concentrate on improving technique and repertoire and am quite pleased with my progress so far.Will be attempting LTCL next year ( no SR! ) Have been enjoying the forums over the past week and hope to be able to post lots!
