DS has been playing trumpet for a little over 3 years now, and is in his schools concert band. His music teacher has suggested he could do grade 3. His junior school trumpet teacher told him it's not worth doing grades and they're expensive, so I think he's put off and says he doesn't want to to do it. When I asked him why he said because it might be hard and he might fail. I won't push him to do them as he enjoys playing at the moment and I wouldn't want him to stop enjoying it because of the pressure of exams. However, I am quite proud that he's good enough/ready and think it would be good for him to say he's achieved it. What are peoples thoughts on grades (and are they that expensive?) TIA
