Sorry, this isn't a boast but I'm really proud of my DS. It's the sort of thing that I don't want to say in real life because I'd look pushy/ show-offy etc.
My 4 year old DS passed the Prep Test for Piano when he was 3 years old, and now he's working on Grade 2 pieces. The Examiner for the Prep Test said he was gifted and I was so pleased! He's learned all the scales for Grades 1 and 2 and seems to have no problems with the Aural tests. He was bored of the Grade 1 pieces, so carried on learning for a while and now he's going for Grade 2 instead.
He's also getting ready for Grade 1 violin at the moment, although this might not be for quite a while. He also plays his little recorder and sometimes writes a few notes down, to play for himself. He has a lovely singing voice too (although I might be biased here!)
I'm so proud of him. DH and I are not musical at all, but my neighbour is a teacher, so teaches him and I do her ironing (there are five of them) and a few other domestic odds and ends every week in return for the lessons. I wouldn't have even thought of him doing lessons, but he had a go on her piano when he was not even two years old and she said he seemed to have a talent.
I'm really proud. :)
