  • i chose this one Military Minuet and Bah ba doo bah! i've got the other two but this one is really tricky :( my exams in 3 weeks any tips on how i should break down so i can get the right and left hand?

  • @TheFreckleHeads Hi,

    With enough practice you can acomplish alot in 3 week. Remember "slow it down & break it down", don't keep playing through the whole piece badly, start one bar at a time, even one note at a time if needed. Rt hand then left several times, then together. Then Bars 1 & 2 the same way, then 1,2,3 etc until you are right through the piece. Good luck and I'm sure you'll do fine.

  • I chose this song, bouree and bah-ba-doo-bah for my grade 2 exam

  • OMG!!!!!! I m taking exam in 1 wk and I haven't even gotten left hand right!!! Any tips?!😭

  • Wow!!! That's really good!!!

  • I'm also taking the 2011 Easter Grade 2 and you appear to have chosen exactly the same songs as me! Good luck and lovely playing :)

  • im sitting this exam tomorrow...nerves!!!!!!!!!!:| <3

  • Hiya, I'm learning grade 2 now, but I'm not sure what pieces to play... what I mean is my teacher wanted me to skip grade 1 and now I'm not sure which pieces are right !! Dilema ... :( By the way is better that I skip a grade ??

  • @Missviolinandpiano if you're going well and you can do the theory, go ahead and do grade 2. I was gonna skip grade 2 until I saw the sight reading and the theory for grade 3 :) but this is a good song to play as it isn't that hard to learn and sounds quite nice. Choose the pieces you like as there's nothing worse than having to practise a piece you hate :)

  • @Missviolinandpiano HI, It's easier to put more into a piece if you really like it, that being said, the exams are really just a means to an end, you can play what you want outside the exam process, so in this case you could pick the easiest to play. Skipping a grade is fine, as long as you are playing more progressivly set pieces from a book as well. The exams don't start getting really tricky until grades 4/5. Hope this helps..

  • @AMRayner Thank you :)

  • Superb!! wow!!! Exellent!! im taking exam tomorrow...:\

  • @xxMamegomasxx Good luck, don't worry about the exam, i'm sure you'll do great.

  • exam tomorrow with this piece!

  • I'm doing this piece too, it's great to see SOMEONE on youtube who has the dynamics, rests, crescendos and diminuendos absolutely perfect.

  • @scumblejack Thank you very much.

  • @scumblejack Thanks...

  • txs this helped me soooo much!! :)

  • Thanks I really needed that song because it's the most suitable song for me in section B of the song book
