It's all over

Yep. It's over. No more violin now for at least...oh, a week (until the next orchestra practise!)

I don't think it went to well

I mean, the pieces went alright, not brilliantly, but I got through it without any major mistakes. But then there were the aural tests, I haven't had my teacher for three weeks and before then she didn't go over them. So, I got into the aural part of the test and the examiner plays a piece of music a couple times and starts asking me all these wierd questions about the tempo and style of the music. I got all confuzzled and made myself look stupid. He then started asking about the period of the music (such as Baroque, classical or romantic). Now, I've done aural tests before but I have never been asked about when the music is based.

Overall I'm not to happy but at least it's over, don't get the results now for a couple weeks.

Thank you everyone for being so sweet!

Hard work, Violin

Today seems to have been hard work. It was a day off from school, but I managed to suplement that with two music lessons and frantic practise beforehand to be up to standard. So that's three hours solid violin playing. Hard work for someone who normally doesn't pick up the instrument for more than twenty minutes at a time from one week to the next!

Really tired now though, so I'm not going to write anymore. Just thought I'd upload a picture of my new avatar. It's a photo of my violin that I took accidentally and then decided I liked it!
