dd is in year 6 and has violin lessons at school, she passed grade 2 last Christmas. The teacher she had until the summer was gearing her up to do grade 3 around about now, and dd was very motivated. Unfortunately the teacher then left unexpectedly. I spoke to the new teacher once on the phone in September when she called me and we agreed that she would do grade 3 with dd. Since then she has not done focussed preparation on the agreed pieces, but keeps starting different pieces. Yet as the syllabus changes soon if dd doesn't do the exam by march she will have to start again with new pieces. Then yesterday the teacher suddenly suggested to dd to not do abrsm, but the level 3 awarded by the county music service, because of lack of time! I have no means of contacting her as unlike the old teacher she hasn't given a number or an email address...
