Making Music

Hello everybody! how are you, fine I hope. Did I tell you that I learn piano .I love playing piano and my teacher Sharmistha  Shome . Today I will tell you all about my exams , grades etc. I learn it under the ''ASSOCIATED BOARD OF ROYAL SCHOOL OF MUSIC''. We have exams every year , theoretical as well as practical. Altogether we have 8 grades in piano. ''All of the grades are difficult but if you try hard you will be able to do it well'' . Well this what my teacher says, but sometimes I really don't agree with her. But the preparatory is the easiest grade that I found . After taking the grade 2 exam I am now in grade 4.. For exams we have to learn Scales, Arpeggios(Short tunes) , we have to play three Pieces of different moods . Sight reading (Short and unseen piece of music) , Aural tests ( singing , clapping to beat , the examiner will play a short piece of music 2 times and in the second time he will make chanes we 'll have to identify it etc) are also there. Our this year's examiner was Martin Richards, he was a strict person. To be honest I am quite bad  in singing but very good in pieces. There is one more thing in Aural Tests that   the examiner the will play a full piece and we will have to say how loud or soft it was , mood of the piece etc. I am eagerly looking forward to my grade 4 exam and I hope I do well .
