I've got my DipABRSM harpsichord exam next month!

good luck! Can you tell me what the Dip ABRSM is like to do, just because i am considering doing it.what did you do it for? I want to do it for teaching.

Well...what are you spending time on here for...

...get on and do that practise then!

(is that what we are supposed to say to you??)

Hi myfanwy08, what is your DipABRSM exam programme? Do tell us also about the harpsichord that will you be playing. All the best :-)

I might be wrong here (is it special for harpsichords?) but I thought you could only do diplomas in December/January or June/July. How come yours is next month? I'm doing mine on the same day as one of my AS Level exams and I'm leaving on a school trip the same evening (28th June), and I would much rather do it sooner than on that day (can't do it later cos I'm away)

wails...ive got dipABRSM piano performance exam early May!!! screams... im really trying to get efficient practice with 100% concentration now...its terrible having so many things to distract us these days

i failed it last two years,just passed the sight reading,until now also no brave to retake,anybody can give me some advice?

agnescyy,

Could you share your experience about your exam.? Did the examiner give you comments on why you cannot pass the exam.

I will take DipABRSM in November. Hope someone can share experience with me. Thanks.

Esther

agnescyy,

What program did you choose?


esther,

When did you pass your grade 8 exam?

I passed Grade 8 in 1997. Bur I have stoped learning for a period of time, just it pick up in recent years.

Esther,

I see, good luck and once you have rehearsal performance in the public don't forget to tell me. I'll be a faithful audience.

hey, could you share your experiences with the dipabrsm piano performing exam? im taking it at the end of may, and im really unsure as to what im supposed to expect of the viva voce... what's it like? what sort of questions does the examiner ask?? im sooooo scared....

I am going to be doing my DipAB exam in July and I am terrified as I feel that i will never reach the required level of understanding. I am a soprano and feel rather inadequate at the moment! Any advice form other singers who have taken the dipAB would be gratefully received as I don't know anyone else who has done the exam and would love some moral support!! Lou.

Please could you share your experience of the DipABRSM exam? Were you suprised by your result?

I have my DipABRSM in July and am getting quite worried now. What kind of standard do they expect? I have heard that if you play all your pieces perfectly you may JUST get a pass!! Is the standard really that high?

May I know YAMAHA's DipABRSM exam program?

I am doing..........


Bach Prelude & Fugue No 14 in F# minor From WTC book 1
Beethoven Pathetique sonata (C minor op 13) complete
Schubert Impromptu in Gb Op 90 No.3 D899
Bartok Dance in Bulgarian rhythm No.2 from Mikrokosmos Vol 6

Hope this helps

Lou...

I too am a soprano hoping to take my DipABRSM at christmas. I dont think you should feel inadequate, i think you should just rest assured that there's very few of us singers who are able to get to a high enough standard to even want to take these things. I've just turned 17 and i only know one person who's comtemplating taking us. Singers rule onwards!

I am doing..............

Bach Prelude & Fugue in F# minor from WTC book 1
Beethoven Pathetique sonata (c minor opus 13) complete
Schubert Impromptu No 3 in Gb D899
Bartok Dance in Bulgarian rhythm No 2 from Mikrokosmos
