StupidPianoExam!

Tuesday, August 19, 2008 @ 7:39 AM

Wonderfully, I had my dreaded piano exam today...Surprise! Surprise! Btw, thanks to all those who wished me good luck...I needed it desperately but in the end, no luck could help me through the friggin exam.
Went to the hotel at like 8 in the morning. Exam was supposed to start at 9 but had to come by 8.30 so we went early. Waited for more than a stupid hour but surprisingly, they were like super on time. They called my sister first at exactly 9. (she's grade 3...I'm an embarassing Grade 4)
At like around like 9.15-9.20 they called me and I sat outside the stupid room, freezing my ass off and trying to remember my scales. Okay! CONFESSION! I have no memorised my scales. I've memorised only:
a) half my major scales...
b)1 or 2 of my minor(harmonic) scales
c)the easy ones in contrarary (B major and D flat Maj or Min...forgot)
d) Chromatic (no memorising needed...only fingering)
e) My first 3 major arpeggios (The rest I remember roughly...Some I totally forgot)
f) Broken Chords (I forgot G Minor Pattern 2 halfway)

Arrgh! Can you even imagine my frustration as I sat outside there? I usually would be super confident when I go for a piano exam...but this time around, I knew I was going to fail. I hadn't memorised my scales at all...my aural test (I don't know much) and my pieces were terrible.

After my sister came out, I went in with my stupid high heels making the annoying clacking sound on the wooden floor. My first impression of the examiner: MAD SCIENTIST!
He looked hilarious. Not revealing his name though. After I kena scolded for saying bad stuff about the ABRSM people. The only thing I liked about this British people is their accents. It's absolutely sexy. Even if it is an old guy. HEY! Not saying I like my examiner okay...it's gross. He's old and i'm 4Teen. Bite me...!
I started off with my scales as I always do. Helps me gain confidence though today I think I should have started with pieces. Oh! Wait...I think it was a good thing that I started off with scales. If not I would have forgotten all of them. Btw, the stupid piano keys were like so soft that I had a hard time playing it. Last year was the same and it didn't produce the same sound so I was a bit lost. T.T
Started off with major scales. B Major...Thankfully and one more which I forgot. Then moved on to minor scales. Argh! The first one he asked me was C Minor which was okay though my response was slow. The second was G Minor and I TOTALLY DIDN'T KNOW IT! Crap! I was like WTF? How can I not know this? I was only memorising this minutes before. EEP! I terpaksa sit there and think and when I couldn't figure out I had to tell the examiner that I didn't know and he changed it into a F Minor for me which I screwed also.
Moved on to contrarary! Thank the heavens and my lucky stars that he chose my good ones which I also screwed by not playing it legato as I was so shaky that I couldn't think straight. (B Major and D flat Minor)...I think.
Chromatic: I totally skipped out on fingering and just played it as it is. Like the examiner is going to even bother about fingering. It wasn't very legato but I didn't miss any notes.
Arpeggios was the worst. I screwed a few. I was so freaked out that I don't even remember which ones I played. Then...last but not least, broken chords. I was okay with my B flat Major Pattern 1 right hand but my G Minor Pattern 2 left hand...I didn't know the starting notes and I kept repeating it over and over again till I got the right notes before I played. That was horrible. My broken chords were like the best part of my scales yet I screwed up. Stupid arpeggios. If I wasn't so shaky, my mind would have been thinking straight and I wouldn't have screwed.
After that, went on to pieces. The first piece wasn't so bad though I did press the wrong keys once or twice and my trills were TERRIBLE! I skipped like three notes of it but I kept on playing.
Second piece!!! I didn't even give an effin damn about my timing. I just played as I normally did with a faster tempo though. The shortest piece in the whole book. I think I screwed the wavy line part and the part after that. I wasn't fast enough. I didn't practise this piece much so yeah...you get the idea. The pedal also was damn cacated. New piano some more and I was wearing pumps so lagilah cannot press! Next year...if there is a next year, I'm wearing my beloved Converse.
Third piece! Was also pretty bad. It was my best piece until came the super fast part which I screwed by repeating though it wasn't so bad and the part that was after the super fast part. I screwed that too! I'm am guarenteed to fail. T.T Pray for me.
Aural test was pretty okay. My teacher said that the examiner would play it twice but he only played it once so I was pretty lost at the singing part and the clapping part and also the questions part but I got through the aural test without much difficulty unless you count sight singing which I am terrible at. Thank god the NICE examiner gave me a C Major piece which included no sharps or flats AT ALL as all musicians would know.
The sight reading wasn't so bad though I accidentally played a tie note by accident as I was given only 30 seconds to prepare and by the time I had got thorough the first set of bars, he said that I could begin. CRAZY! So I just played randomly, not counting though...but it was a 3 timing so it was okay since I was used to it already. My teacher trained the 3 timing into me so I love 3 timing. Plus, it's the waltz beat. Hehe.

Finally,

THE END

I think practically throughout the whole exam, I didn't count at all so I'd probably get zero for my counting. Lol. Wish me luck guys...I need it.

Good day to all of you and May God bless you.
