Blargh. I know all of you must be eager to know how my piano exam went.

Should I make you all even more eager by waiting till tomorrow to post?







I shouldn't be that mean.

It was quite fine. Sight-reading was much easier than I expected. Pieces went really well. Scales: Quite alright, except I was rather nervous (first part of the exam) and kind of mixed stuff up. Like he asked me to play B harmonic minor and I played the one in 3rds, and he was like 'similar motion, not 3rds'. And F sharp minor for contrary: I was like harmonic or melodic? He gave me this really confused look because only harmonic's in the exam. Blargh.

Now to the last part: aurals. I totally screwed this up. He gave me loads of chances to change my ans, and I guess I got most of them right in the end. Blargh. I reckon I failed this.

But oh well. I'm confident I'll pass, so who cares? Here's what I expect to get.

27 for the first piece, 28 for the 2nd and the 3rd. (I have high expectations I guess. I was really happy with my performance)
18 or 19 for scales
With just those 2, I've passed!!! (83 + 18/19 =101/102)
18 or 19 for sight-reading (I did really well compared to my practice ones)
So this way, I get a merit!
And even if I get 6 for my aurals (minimum mark), it brings my grand total to 126. *beams*
I hope I'll get at least a 10 on aurals. Then I'll get my distinction. *grins*

Better not get my hopes too high. The examiner didn't really say anything besides 'thank you'. But he was hell nice, giving me 2nd chances in the aurals. On 2nd chance, I got most of them right. Except the lower part crap, of which he cut me off because I was just making up stuff. LOL.

I was quite lucky in terms of the piano, because the piano was about the same as mine except for the touch. It was also one of those yamaha uprights, so it didn't prove to be much of a problem.

And the stewardess (no, not those pretty ladies: this one doesn't really *cough* fit that description) was hell nice. She offered me a glass of water to take with me to the warm-up room and exam room. After the exam, she gave me candy, and said stuff like 'I don't think you'll have much trouble. You played well' etc, which was hell nice of her. I asked her when the results would come, and she said 2 to 3 weeks, which is really soon. *screams and tears hair out*

Oh, did I tell you about how evil the examiner was for the singing part? He gave me this Mozart piece that had like 4 SHARPS. Wth. Sight-reading was easy though. D major :).

Blargh. Now to study for Science.
