my DS1 is in Y4 and has been learning piano since the middle of Y2 and cello since beginning of Y3. Both his teachers are keen for him to enter for Grade one in the summer.
Do you wise lot consider this a bit much?
In some ways I would like him to as he is ready in piano, short of learning the pieces and has been building up to it for a while in terms of aural, sight-reading and scales.
In cello he is doing really well and loves his teacher. He will be moving schools next year and will have to change teacher and so in some ways if he had got his G1 he will not have to 'start again' with a new teacher. And looking at the information on the internet he seems more than capable.
What is the view of preparing for two exams simultaneously?
And as an aside will the aural be the same for both?
