Oh I'm ok thanks. Pleased to hear the h-f is not too bad.

I gave one of my pupils a mock-exam to-day. Not too bad, except she had totally re-written the rhythm in one of her pieces, and played most of it in 2/4 instead of 3/4. It was fine before half-term, it seems to have happened since we started trying to speed it up a little. We have 2 weeks anyway. Everything else was fairly ok.

You must be more than halfway with your gcse's by now?
Good that you met some others who are going on tour !!

Have you tried using a metronome in her lesson as she plays so she can hear she is doing it? Or tried speeding it up gradually and seeing where the point is where her rhythm changes?

Yeh, I am more than half way through my GCSEs, only 5 more to go.

Rainbow - I use Neoclarityn, but it was prescribed by my doctor though.

Well, it was more a problem that the rhythm never really got going to-day!
We'd used a metronome to check various aspects from time to time, and also 2-3 weeks ago to see which pieces needed to go a bit quicker, and I had given her a speed to aim for with this one, sort of moderato rather than allegro, but definitely getting there. Apparently there is a metronome at home, but now she thinks it doesn't work properly and I think this was part of the problem - I suspect it's part of a rhythm section on a keyboard and maybe not a proper metronome. I actually regret having said check it with your metronome!

I guess it would be ok, as it's a non-profit thing. Well, this is the site, you need an mp3 player to get it. (like winamp or something)

If you love 50's and 60's music, try this.

We have 2 weeks anyway. Everything else was fairly ok.

You must be more than halfway with your gcse's by now?
Good that you met some others who are going on tour !!

Well my flute teacher told me to bring my metronome next week! I really don't like mine, it is a 30 year old wind-up one, so it slows down. Mum/Dad don't see the point in getting a new one either.
Ahh, yeh, metronomes on keyboards aren't great. When is her exam?

How did you nearly rip your finger off?!

I got it caught in a chain when I was trying to get across a series of tyres hanging on chains. I then fell off the tyres and my finger stayed in the chain and it nearly got pulled out of the socket in my finger. It hurts, but it's getting better.

Ooooh, I hope she does well Maggie. I am sure you're an excellent teacher, and she should do well

Well thank you. So do I ! And thanks for the vote of confidence - the more I teach though the more I think I've still got to learn about teaching ... We'll see. I think maybe she was a bit surprised to get a mock-exam to-day; but it's a good chance to get some of the nerves out of the way. I still gave her a pass, albeit not a very high one. So maybe it didn't dent her confidence too much!

Sorry to hear about your hand Purple Dolphin. Hope there are no vital exams in the next few days !

What do you think she can get in her exam? At least she knows that she has the capability to pass, and hopefully this mock exam will inspire her to practice harder and better

I think we should have a thread where people can post recordings of themselves playing. Nat is super on both sax and clarinet so far!

im just kinda sitting here, flicking through the forums and a music magazine, and chatting on msn! so not really quite as interesting...

If she plays as she did today she'll make about 110. If she is on form and focuses as she can sometimes she could get a merit.

cant you like record something, and stick it on a website or something and then 'accidentaly' tell everyone to go on the website?
dunno (you can tell i'm no good at computers cant you!?)
maybe we could ask if the website could have that put on as well!

Jun 11 2005, 06:27 PM

Yes you are good Nat.

Maggie - I am sure with your encouragement, she'll pass the exam with flying colours

Yes, I agree. We're all rooting for her, too.
