Well done, Nat - and for getting an 18 in the aurals

thanks! i also just want to say special thanks, to Nicki_flute, Helen(Subatomic Star), and a few others,(you know who you are) for supporting me through everything no matter what and having confidence in me, something I don't have myself. thanks hunnies! xx

Well done, Nat - this should have done your confidence a power of good!



Bagpuss keeps threatening to put me in for Grade 1 flute, but considering that I can't even get a sound out of the *!?* thing I think she's being overly optimistic...(actually she just wants her revenge on me for making her learn solfa and paw-signs).

See, all your fears were unrealised. Very well done Nat, and good luck with all your other exams.

Congratulations Nat, thats brilliant.

Sorry you're not gonna be around much, will miss your comments around here.

I do hope you're not disappearing altogether.

Congrats, you did great!

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY GO NAT!!!

I knew you'd do well!

Congratulations Nat - I am so pleased for you. We all knew you were going to do really well. I hope you feel more positive today.

No problem Thats how much we lurve you

got piano mark breakdowns

A3- 21- he completely slated it, not surprised actually
B3- 25
C2- 26
scales-16
sight reading -16
aurals -12 woo i actually passed- he must have been deaf

im not doing grade 7

Great News. Keep the good work up!!

Hi, Nat,
wow 26 for your C piece... wish I could do that! Why aren't you doing grade 7? Is it because of what the examiner said about your A piece? If it is that, DON'T let him stop you!!! I hope that everything's ok and hope that you won't be away for long.

Luv Emma

i had a terrible lesson today, and im just sick to death of doing piano exams. 3 in 9 mths is enough. im not enjoying it again and i think oding grade 7 will put me off for life. i cant do it.

Ok, I see what you mean. One in nine months would be enough for me!!! Just have fun playing pieces that you enjoy.

Very sensible Nat. I took about two years between grade 5 and 6, and 7 will probably be at least a year away. No point puting pressure on yourself. Just enjoy playing.

grade 7 isn't too bad. I hope you'll take it later when you're ready!

Nat

How are the Uni applications going? In the sense that do you actually need grade 7 now before you go to Uni? Is getting grade 7 a condition of any of the offers?

It might be ok for you, but for someone like me, who is doing non stop exam work, plus exams on other instrument, plus alevels, plus other matters, its actually quite difficult

Sp- ive firmly accepted Bangors offer. no its not a must need for uni, but it would have helped and id liked to hav edone it. but ive got to stop thinking in dream land. i cant do it

Congratulations Nat!

Was this the gr. 6 Nat? What was he saying about the A3? (if you don't mind me asking that is)

id rather not post it publicly .they werent great comments by far. only good thing he said was about dynamics

sorry, fair enough.

have you heard the recording of the piece?, if so can you play it that fast?

Then in that case I think that you are doing exactly the right thing in not putting too much pressure on yourself to do grade 7. You can always do it once you are University and you will be in the right environment to do it, that's for sure!

SP

great results, Nat!

hope you can still pop in and say hello from time to time.

Hey Nat! I've been on holiday for a week, and so I've missed all the posts etc. and I know this is a bit late but CONGRATULATIONS! You did very well! Really proud of you! 18/18 for Aurals, WOOOOOO!

well done nat

Congragulations Nat, I think your really sensible for stopping and taking a breather.. I wouldn't ever do thee exams in nine month no matter what.
