November Music Thread

Let's have a new thread for November... I'm not sure if the old one will last long enough. This is a place to talk about music lessons, practice, exams and anything to do with learning instruments/ singing. We have beginners and advanced players of all ages.

I am mum to two girls - Goo (newly 11) - Flute, Recorder and Piano, and Rara (8) - Cello, Recorder, and one month of Clarinet so far. She won't put the clarinet down, so I think we've found The One.

I should think he was happy. Well done him!

Wow well done MrKnitting, amazing points! I somehow deep down convinced myself that 140+ doesn't exist. Grin DD got 137 in her first exam but I have a feeling she'll never match that.

It's all been a bit competitive really. His teacher is a classical pianist and she's taking the exams alongside him. For G1 she got one mark more than him (141/142), this time he got one more mark than her (141/142 again but reversed). She is a much, much better pianist than he is but he has decades of experience on other instruments. They are both taking G3 next but we're at the stage of being cagey about the pieces. That's not hard for DH as his music was lost in the post and he's had to have it resent.

Congrats MrKnitting!

"happy" lol ;)

disorganised any joy with the video? Good luck for this weekend. "Advice session" does make it sound like they do not expect him to be completely ready.

I've ordered an additional book that has the grade 5 alternative "Summertime" piece, now just to convince DD's teacher to let her learn that. Not sure how she'll react as she's not a jazz expert.

Some excellent results coming through! G5 sax exam today for DD1. Not quite sure how that's going to go as practice has been a bit of an issue. Teenagers! G5 Theory results next I guess? Apart from the NCO audition results......

That's amazing, Icould. Well done to him!
