Piano Exam

[pokemon97]

Hi, just wish to check is it necessary to book the exam studio to try out the piano before exam? Anyone went to exam without booking the exam studio and how it goes?

Hi,


I would say usually higher grade students will want to book the studio to try. It’s not compulsory but having a feel of it is better because exam piano may be very different from your home piano (Esp pedal for some piano model). I didn’t try out the piano throughout my exams last time. Only for my grade 8 I booked once to try it

Yes, ds will have another two times to try out the studio piano.Yesterday,he also realised that the echo is so loud and has difficulty in pressing the paddle too.All the pieces went messy.

Just hope the next two studios practise will be fine.

Wow, you really booked the studio for 3x? We've only booked 1x all these years. Never thot to go so many times.

2.5 to 3 weeks for online results. The actual results - examiner's score sheet plus certificate mailed to you by the following week.

Chinese instrumental exam by Beijing central conservatory examining board is the fastest so far. Results (score sheet plus certificate) out by end of the week. ;D

Hey,


I think that you have heard of this in every first piano lesson: before you start your proper piano practice, you need to warm your fingers up with a few scales and exercises. This is the kind of chosen truth that a vast majority of piano teachers have adopted and try desperately to implement with their pupils. If they can’t force you to do it at home, at least they can always insist that your lessons should start out with scales, broken chords or other finger exercises.

Do you think if this is really necessary? I don’t doubt that you have sometimes felt the need to warm up, if for instance if on a winter’s day you have come in from the cold to sit down at the piano. Your fingers will have felt stiff and slow, but after a couple of scales up and down the keyboard made them fit again. Well I just think that your child is a little bit tense too at that time that cause him to slipped.

Hi,


I signed DS up for ABRSM exam (Aug). When will I be informed of the details (date / time / venue)? How will I be informed - mail?

Thanks.
