Had my 6th grade clarinet exam recently and my teacher told me she looked my results up online and that I had got honours. Thus I am happy that my efforts have paid off, although I thought I didn't do too well in aural.
I assuming you mean for piano. I guessing the reason why you're not playing evenly is because of the shape of your hands when your play or else you haven't practiced enough. I don't think you will get marked down for it though, especially not in 4th grade. As long as you Played it correct and at an appropriate speed you should be finei just had my 4th grade exam, but haven't received my results yet cos they mail it to your teacher now Anyway I'm hoping for an A, but expecting a B+ ((((
(I know this is an old thread), but how do you guys play scales quietly? The rest of my technical work went fine (minus the Bb major contrary) but I'm just curious.
Also, during my Bb chromatic (my favourite type of scale), I accented all the Bbs. I have no idea why I did that, but it was fun :LL but will they mark me down on it? My examiner was super nice so I hope she didn't
Yeah I could have practised more, but I hadn't thought about the shape of my hand itself, only my wrists :LI assuming you mean for piano.

CongratsTook mine pretty recently and got an A for Grade 7. Before the exam I was freaking out about the aural part because it is so difficult but then I found AURALBOOK and decided to try it out. AURALBOOK is an app that you can use anytime, anywhere. It helps you test your listening skills. It's easy, free and fun! AURALBOOK is definitely the reason I did so well on my exams.
Wow! That's quite the achievement.Congrats
I did Prelim-Grade 4 in AMEB Violin and I did Introductory-Grade 8 of AMEB Speech and Drama.

My music grades got progressively lower as time went on haha That's why I stopped doing the exams before they went down too much and played for fun (I really didn't have time with vocational ballet, hola Pre Primary-Advanced 2 repping)I did piano grade 1-4 but was pretty much self taught. I never got an A but I remember it was C, B+, B, C for grade 1-4, respectively. lol.
Cheers, if I wasn't so busy with ballet back then, I should have gotten my Diploma in S&D to get fancy smance initials after my name.Wow! That's quite the achievement.
Sounds like you needed a better teacher or just to practice more if that was happeningMy music grades got progressively lower as time went on haha
Well you see what happened, I had the same or maybe even non existant practice by the end, so as exam expectations were raised on the same amount of effort, well you can see the trend.Sounds like you needed a better teacher or just to practice more if that was happening
Your grades should have in fact been getting better as you you're past learning how to play the instrument and on to perfecting your technique and sound
