I'm under so much stress~~~
Espeacially with my Music exams.... My Parents expect very high skills from me....but I just get so fustrated!! I'm doing my 6th grade piano this year, I got 8 pieces, 50 scales(YES 50!!), sight reading, aural stuff to learn!!! And my exam is on August and I haven't even learn all my pieces yet!!
I told my mum once that I don't want to do exams anymore, I just wanna play the piano! But all she said was no exam no piano...she said she would sell the piano if I don't do exams anymore >.<
And that's not all! I got my music theory exam as well...my piano teacher made me skip grade 1 2 and 4! So i'm doing grade 5 theory this year *GROAN*
I wish I could just......throw all my exams off and go to la-la land and find Killua!! XD
Any of u wanna rant about exam stress?...fire away

Wow. I thought my exams were hard, but at least no one expected me to do extremely well on any of them. It sounds like you're under a lot of pressure. I wish I could offer real support, but I'm not very useful there. Sorry.

HOLY CRAP YUMIKO!!!! 50 SCALES??!?! when i did my grade 6 exam, i didn't even need to learn that much!! and i only needed 6 pieces!!! THAT'S SO CRAZY!! haha, i don't think i'll be able to handle it if i were you...but i still hope you do well on the exams. i'm still scared to see my grade 8 results right now... but i guess don't let the exam stuff stress you too much. i sorta found those piano exams impossible to fail, as long as you put effort into playing

no 50 scales is reasonable i think.. considering there are a lot of scales, forumlas, chords, triads, etc... but 8 pieces? they're making you do two more studies? holy shit... you don't even need to learn that many and you can still do good
i think that skipping grades isn't that good cause then you miss out in the required skills and experience.. but oh well.. don't worry too much about the stress.. jus try to enjoy yourself maybe you won't even notice that its over...
i suck at piano and i did pretty good.. my best in fact

well, skipping grades isn't all that bad. like myself, i've skipped grades 2,3,5,and 7. If the person has the skills to advance, it's absolutely pointless to waste the time and money on that particular grade. it'll only drag you back, and playing would be boring.

Actually I skipped most of my music exams...
Piano, I skipped 1 and 2
Theory I skipped 1 and 2
Flute I skipped 1
Not because I'm good, cuz i haven't done exams for a long time
