how was the exam?

[narrator]

yeah it wasnt an hour, we had ours done in 45 minutes, the 30 second one was at least a ten second break...

id really like to measure the actual time slot of those

/edit/

Just on that Ross Edwards piece...it was Dawn Mantras right?? I premiered that piece when it came out a few years ago, after the olympics. The melodic dictation would have been hard for that.

yeah that was it. the melody was ok, i got that. but the rhythm was a killer, i had no idea. i dont think some of my bars were even.....hahahahaha

oh well, if you got it, then u deserve the marks. that was a tough question.

Yeah, I got outside and we were talking about it and my teacher did it with us and she's like the rhythm was really esy, I got like a whole bars rest in the middle how did you go?...I just had to look the other direction. A whole bars rest??!! please tell me you didn't get that!

I didn't like the question on the texture and structure one, or the mantra one. I think I only got two decent points for the mantra likeness, ah well. At least I liked the essay, I even had to ask for another booklet thingy

[cornJoelio]

that mantra question....eesh, what a shocker!

[thatsrayor]

Uh the mantra was terrible. Question 3 (the structure part, anyway) wasn't too nice either.

I swear it was impossible to find a pulse in that melodic dictation...

I do Music 2 - Questions 3 and 4 were really hard and we had to talk about our additional topic.. i only got 2 pages for question four and only talked about 2 pieces. *sigh*
i dont think we got enough time to work out the structure properly.
I generally do well in the dictation because i have perfect pitch (bwahahaha) but i got a bit confused with the two parts... and the rhythm didnt seem right..

but anyway, there's my whinging..
