Angelic; Do you have accompaniment playing with you? If so you just have to remember that every note you play is right (no matter how wrong it is) if it gets stuffed up and you're expression doesn't change it makes it look like its the accompniment thats stuffing up and not you - ie. don't...

what? the piano is the coolest...i wish I could play it better. I take music 2 and do percussion. Did our trials a week or so ago, did pretty good with only a week to prepare. timpani solo w/ piano - 17/20 mallet focused multi piece w/piano - 17/20 drum focused multi piece - 16/20 17...

oh yeah our performances were externally marked, and in front of an audience as well.... what instrument do you play dansnation? Which music course do you take?

yeah...thats why they call it a "performance" assessment. The point is to perform and communicate with the audience. It's cool to make a mistake just so long as you make sure no one else realises' you've done it. Quite a good life lesson I think...;) I do percussion, but since I had...

well in business studies terms.... livid are excluding about 60,000 people from their target market. I reckon I would have gone as well...bit of Something for Kate always does me some good.

well.... we have around... general maths - 54 Mathematics - 85 Ext. 1 maths - 42 ext. 2 maths - 19 no maths - 7 including me! ...looks pretty evenly spread to me. We're not "made" to drop anything but our school suggests we do no less than 12units and no more than 13units...

yeah I don't know anything about england uni's..... Meesh; It just depends on the university. Some will demand it some wont. Out of interest, which uni's are you looking at???

There's no point to taking general maths if you are going for a uai. Its too much work to just do it for the hell of it and as you guys have said it doesn't fulfill any maths requirements for uni. So for people like me who would rather do anything than find out what the hell X is equal...

Well american universities are strange. They'd look at your UAI and raw scores but might not really understand what they mean. They'd look for SAT scores (if you've taken them) and your high school grades from year 9 onwards as well as recommendations, an essay you have to write for them as...

ha, I might just point out that the only person that takes music 1 at our school plays the bagpipes. The markers had no idea how to judge him at the trials... he got a 13/20 from one marker and 20/20 from the other.... (personal note: bagpipes are horrible instruments)

ha, we had Les Murray come talk to our school last term. His really good...not really for learning stuff but he's got some cool opinions about everyone. For instance...he was putting together something like "the oxford book of Australian poetry" Gwen Harwood got all pissed off because the...

er, you have to do an Australian piece that was written in the last 25 years if you take music 2. This is your core performance piece. As a result every extension cadidate must also do this however "extension" pieces don't have any specific boundaries. AMEB grades have absolutely nothing to...

well I actually really liked the book, but I'm still gunna have some trouble gettin a real good essay out about it. There just isn't much help out there for cloudstreet is there...its so long and complicated! - both the themes and concepts as well as the plot

Yep! First day - English paper 1 and music 2. ----what a nice start! I have 5/6 exams in the first week then I finish on the 4th of Nov. with ext.1 english being my last exam.

Thanks johnson...hmmm, yeah too bad I thought of it about 7-9 months too late. ...but I think 4-unit markers would love that if someone was able to do it justice....ie. make it "not" boring! A guy at my school got 50/50 last year and I was talking to him about it and he just said; "Do...

I reckon if you changed your idea to the topic you just said you'd get really good marks. call it "THE MOST BORING PLAY KNOWN TO MAN". write it in an absurdist post-modern style and have be all about "Nothing". They love wierd crap. Your teachers should be doing that to you though...

well, I don't really think there is quite "that" much difference between music 1 and music 2. For example our school has 7 people that take music 2 and one person that takes music 1. That one person just goes to our class and learn pretty much all the stuff we learn.....(we have 5 people that...

hmmm, well my performance trials are monday night. (in front of an audience and examiners). I'm performing all my pieces....physically I can handle it, but I've been practising every moment I get over the last week to catch up after my injury. (since I'm a percussionist I can't practise...

hmmm, it always sounds superficial when I explain my major work to people but here goes.... The action centres around a pop/rock band who start whose quick meterioc rise to fame crashes down in the death of their songwriter....plus the fact they're basically one hit wonders. It explores...

what are you talking about?? if your playing around the world, look at its intro....the bass has the melody!!! Of course the traditional role of the bass is to provide harmony and rhythm but if your playing funk stuff that changes the whole equation. The bass is very capable of playing a...
