Hi everyone just wanted to know whether any one had got 30/30 for a piece in an ABRSM exam.

Not being big headed or anything but i was very pleased to see a 30/30 for my grade 5 piano exam for a piece i wasn't going to play.....lol........it was the 2003-2004 exam pieces for Piano the piece was
C:2 Bossa Nova.

So anyone else got 30/30 for any pieces?

.......and also has any one got more than 145 in an exam apart from the easy grade 1 exams lol....... i have only been lucky enough to get about 135 i think.


Cheers

I got 30/30 for a chopin waltz in grade 8 piano - got 141 in total.

At the time, Grade 1 exams aren't easy.

I've got 137 in both exams for violin & piano before, and I know someone who got 142 last year. My friend also just got 30/30 in an organ grade 7 exam (beat me, too!) for one piece.

just missed it, 29 in all pieces in my gr 4 flute, 136 in total

I got 30/30 for a Stravinsky piece in my grade 8 clarinet. It was technically quite fiendish, and it was the one without the piano as well. The examiner must have enjoyed it. And I got 29/30 for the Arnold, and but for some dodgy intonation it would also have been 30. I got 135 overall, so I was quite happy.

Somebody at school got 145 for grade 8...

Also, when someone gets 30/30, what sort of comment goes with it?

i've haven't got full marks in a piece....the highest is 29/30...that is grade 5 singing....

Comments from my one and only 30/30

" A really confident performance - the rubato sounded very natural and the balance was excellent. This was very arousing - and beautifully coloured"

I just got my results for G7 Flute and G5 piano back. I got 30/30 in two of my pieces in the flute exam and got 29/30 on the other one. I got 142 overall!! I also got a 30/30 in one of my pieces on piano (the new syllabus, C1) I got 130 overall on piano. I'm really pleased, especially as I only started piano 2 and a half years ago!

well, i lose
my highest ever is 28/30 on Prelude and Fugue in G, WTC II by Bach and Sonata in F minor, Op. 2 No. 1 by Beethoven
i ended up getting (grade 8 piano) 130 total so i was happy!

Well done! Thats really good, your not being big headed, your just being proud!LOL The highest I have got for a piece is 29, but that was grade two which was really easy!lol 135 is still good, the highest I have got is 134.....I think.......not quite sure! Anyways hope you do as well on your next exam! Love me xx xx

nope lol

my best was 28/30 for Bright Young Thing in grade 5 sax. got 128 overall

best was 28 for grade 7 B1 (can't remember title), 130 total but only taken 3 exams

I havent done as well as that - but on my grade 8 eacm that I've jus taken I got 20/21 for sight reading!!!! And everything else was ok. I got 26,27,25 for my pieces. My best mark was for grade3 recorder with the trinity exam board. I got 96 out of 100!!

Hi everyone!

The highest overall score out of all my exams was in my grade four cello a while ago when i got 146!
However, i think that could've been luck because i carried my little lucky mouse with me!!! (don't worry...not a real one!)

Does anyone else here have any little lucky charms that they take into exams with them or don't you think it works!!!!????

The highest I ever got was 143 on a violin grade 3 exam three years ago I'm v. proud!
I've got 30/30 twice in my musical career so far... grade1 and grade 5.
I've been very fortunate to have kind,generous examiners!

" Played with vivid dynamic shaping, incisive articulation & a most characterful lilt. Meticulously fluent" - Grade 1

"There was much of positive musical value in this well-projected performance: a dependable sense of rhythm, a really well-judged range of tonal levels culminating in a striking final flourish" - Grade 5

My teacher got 149/150 in her grade 8, I think!!!! Pretty amazing....then again she did play with the Beatles

In small proportions we just beautis see; in short measures life may perfect be - Ben Jonson

The highest I've ever scored was this term. I got 138 for my grade 6 flute exam!
