My DD1 just finished her fist piano exam grade 2 exam today. She thought that went well but given she always said she is ok with the pieces even they didn't go that well sometimes I have no idea how much I should trust what she said. Some questions here.
There are no foot rester available in the exam room, is that normal? She is only 6 and used a food rester at home.
I am not sure if today is the first exam day as we ask for a early exam day,if it is, will the examiner more strict on these first few markings?
I don't know if the examiner will take age consideration. Given she is quite young to take grade 2. I originally thought they would give her an easier piece for sight reading. But sounds not, my daughter said the sight reading was 2 flats and 1 natural.
I am pretty confidence she could pass as her teacher said she could have passed even taking the exam last term, and that's the reason we ask for an early exam day as she has already bored with those 3 pieces. I just keep guessing what marks she might get, hoping a good mark can build up her confidence.
This is what she described about the whole process. She choose to start the 3 pieces first(she normally start with scale at home and in the mock with teacher), all went through smoothly, except one mistake on the tempo of one bar. Scales good(from what she could remembered, I thought the scales she were asked were the harder ones). Sight reading she thought it was ok, she said she paid attention to the dynamic as well. Aural test she is not sure of test c, pitch or rhythm change, others quite confidence.
