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!)

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!

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.
