My DD just did her Grade 2 cello and is in tears, curled up on my lap sobbing her eyes out. We have tried everything we can think of. Distraction, comforting and reassurance. Nothing is working. She held it together throughout the exam and but after we got home and properly ask her who it went, she burst into tears. She says it went awfully but her teacher said the pieces were fine but he left after that (she then had technical exercises and a study) so he didn't hear the rest. I have heard her practise wonderfully but I know from experience that things can go wrong on the day. What can I do or say that will make her feel better?
