[I]Hello I am a 15 year old girl and I'm about to sit on a grade 8 exam for piano in May. I am from Cyprus and I am a little worried about it, so I am asking for a bit of help on this topic.

What sort of things are you worried about?? Can you expand on this??

I'm not a grade 8 pianist, nowhere near it, but there are people here that can help... just say which part you are struggling with.



Oddball

When people mention grades, do they mention the last grade they took or the grade they are going to take?

If they want help for one, it is generally the grade they are going to take.

hey CathC
I took my grade eight in december, and I think it went fine. You'll have done other exams before, and grade eight is just the same only you have harder things to do, and more things in your oral tests . If you're really worried, talk to your Piano teacher; he/she'll have been through it all before.

good luck!

oral tests

I hope you don't mind a correction here - it should be spelt AURAL!
