Nervous!

by roisini @ 2008-06-29 - 18:17:46

Ahh! I have my Grade 8 exam on horn on Thursday. I'm still convinced I can't play the pieces/do all the assorted scaley things/do the aural tests. So I'm a bit sunk.

Anyone know any tips for the Grade 8 aural tests? I'm hopeless at them as my teacher *really* should have started them earlier than 4 lessons before the exam. I haven't done any relevant grades aural-wise before.

*gulp*

On the plus side, the examiner is not 'trying' to fail you, so just take your time (before starting each scale/piece) and try to concentrate.

Aural is kind of bad news. Ideally, you need a year's tuition to prepare properly for grade 8 aural! You should ideally revise gr.6 and gr.7 'on the way'.

This exam used to count for about 20 to 25% of the old A-level.

Which pieces are you playing?
