I was planning to apply for a fund for Ds1 after his Grade 5 piano exam.(I know he needs to be 8 years old.)Now he is 8 and got the exam result, I just realized that applying for the fund ,you need to get distinction, but Ds1 got 128 only.(Mainly blame to our Great Grandma piano with various impairable illness due to her age.Partly down to his speech is not as good as his piano playing)
I was warned by his teachers that this is going to be a problem from grade 3.
So,to be honest, the musical feeling Ds1 got ,considering he has being practiced on our poor piano, is truly remarkable. I actully felt many times that he is listening in his mind how the sound SHOULD be.
The fund I wanted to apply for is AWARDS FOR YOUNG MUSICIANS. I dreamed to get some support towards the cost of a much better piano.
Anybody had experience on this subject?Is distinction an absolutely must?
