Epiphanya got a whopping 145 for her grade 8 violin -found out today after three week wait which nearly drove us all insane... Obviously we are. V proud, and I wanted to share this climactic finish with people who would understand! Teacher pointed out that on the musician's journey, finishing the grade exams represents the real beginning - he said like an acorn that's just germinated - rather poetic... Looking forward to a bit of a rest now, though ( on the other hand, where IS that book of Paganini caprices!)

Well done Barncottage kitten...... that is a most fabulous result! Enjoy the rest!

What a great result. Many many congrats!

Well done Epi, what a fantastic result

Brilliant Barncottagekitten. Well done!

Good grief! That's fantastic. I wish I thought I would ever be able to achieve that.

Worthy of an outright Boast! Well done to your daughter. Absolutely excellent.

WOW!!! That is fantastic! Congratulations!

Epiphanya horrified that I have posted this ( but it's a pseudonym I pointed out!), but says thanks to everyone for your kind congrats and that she was completely surprised and won't believe it till she sees the certificate!

That is so fantastic and well worth the wait!

Well Done Epi - you're a real star!

Though I learned this news via computer, and my daughter (who was much impressed) before you posted, so it somehow got out without your involvement I think !! Well done to E from all of us.

That is absolutely terrific. Very many congratulations.

Yes, congratulations to you both, and what a Christmas present! She must have done so well in every part of the exam.

Very belated congratulations, no less sincere for being so late Brilliant result.
