I've just had a text from my DD's violin teacher to say she's failed grade 1.
She has been with him for almost 2 years and has practiced regularly, particularly since we've been preparing for the exam (since last September). To my untrained ear the pieces sounded fine. After the exam the teacher (who accompanied her on the piano) said she had done well and he was pleased.
The scales and sight reading are done with the examiner only so he didn't hear these.
By text he said she talked through the pieces but I will get full story tomorrow.
I wanted to know how common it is to fail grade 1? Is it DD or the teacher? Should I try to switch?
Thanks
