My son showed no interest in playing an instrument until Year 7. He is now in Year 8 and about to take Trinity Grade 1 piano.
He practises a fair amount at home and does seem to be able to play pieces by ear quite easily.
I am not musical at all and wondered whether this level is too low to do GCSE Music? His music teacher said he should ideally be grade 3 level but thinks he will cope.
Anyone whose DC has taken GSCE Music and how hard is it?
He's got to chose now for Year 9 and I don't want him taking this if he will really struggle and could chose another option, ie. geography or 2nd language.
Thanks.
