My teacher is just about to enter me for next years first grade 8 exams (piano)? I'm really nervous already, I''ll have to get my sight-reading up to scratch before then. Anyone else doing exams in Feb?

Nobody?

I am doing flute grade 7 next session and my flute teacher said that it would be at the beginning of March.

I'm doing my grade 7 flute in february

I might be doing Grade 3 bassoon

I'm doing Grade 8 sax and maybe Grade 6 violin - scary!

Oh, you seem to be the only one in this forum who sit for the February exam next year.

I am preparing for my G8 exam too but haven't determined when to take my exam (I'm an adult learner). What pieces will you be playing?

You still have one month or so to improve your sight-reading, try not to worry too much. How's your aural going? I find G8 aural quite difficult.

Good luck to your exam.

i am, im doing grade 6 piano, grade 5 saxophone and grade 1 flute

i could but i'd get less marks than if i did my exam in june. so probably not!!

Me too - I am waiting to find out the date of the exam and am very nervous! My pieces are the Handel, Beethoven and the Turina Sacro-Monte. I got a digital piano over the holiday and am so so glad to be able to practice with the headphones. I have just ordered the book of aural exercises with the CD and am using all the help I can get to achieve this exam!!! At least now instead of midnight panics I can just go and practice!

I am having difficulty with the sixths too - I am having a lesson this afternoon and will find out and pass on any tricks he tells me!

I'm not doing any exams this term, but I am trying to avoid doing two grade 8s next term to be juggled with school exams and AS music too!

I'm doing grade 8 piano this term but in March.
