G & T : 9 year old daughter

[jasmiin]

I'm new here, hope you all help me to judge my daughters' ability and whether she is good enough to say G&T or just good/very good. I'm happy to take the criticism to any level and can plan her future in a very realistic way.

DD is 9 years old, has a lot of passion and dedication towards music. She started her lessons 2 years ago with a piano / voice teacher. Currently her level (or certification) goes like ths

a. ABRSM Singing grade 5 with distinction
b. ABRSM Piano grade 5 exam in nov 10 (she is ready)
c. Taekwondo blue belt
d. Weekly 3 hour gymnastics lessons - not in squad
e. Kumon grade F (gold star award in last 3 years)
f. Member of a very good street dance team (all other members aged 15 or above)
d. Well advanced Ashtanga Yoga student

Here you can find a clip of her singing in a small concert

Thank you in advance

Thank you everyone, for giving excellent tips and advices so far. Anyway she has to get passed grade 5 music theory.

She attended the audition. It seem they are very impressed on her singing, but not sure about rest of the audition. If she get through, she has to attend another round of audition.

Cory: Regarding gymnastics, yes she is already out of the game. But we are continuing it just because it helps a lot in her Street / hip hop dance activities (hand stand etc)

LilyBolero: She is getting trained in classical style only, but that video is R&B (Halo). Also she is a Chorister in 2 churches.

Just heard from the school that she managed to get through the first round. Next audition is coming up in 2 weeks time. There is a 40 minutes music theory test, which seem to be a major hurdle.

will update the thread with the outcome.

Once again thank you for giving the courage to attend auditions.

to conclude

thank you all the negative and positive reviews / views, really appreciate that.

we just heard from the school that she has been placed on waiting list, after 2 rounds of successful auditions.

Once again thank you very much for all the support

well done her!
