how was the exam? (1 Viewer)

[bubz :D]

music1 was .... alright.
first two exceprts were pretty good....
third was weird
and i ran out of time for the last one O__o

is it just me, or were the breaks in between the pieces NOT the amount of time it stated?!?! the two minute break felt like 40 seconds!!

 

[chip]

hey how quick did the exam go ...... i was like that wasn't an hour or something it was so quick

I know the feelin bubz, it was the right time, but it races by when you're trying too write so much in so little time.

music 2 was really good. very interesting questions. the melodic dictation was crap though. i hate ross edwards!!!

Just on that Ross Edwards piece...it was Dawn Mantras right?? I premiered that piece when it came out a few years ago, after the olympics. The melodic dictation would have been hard for that.

I thought the music 1 was alright. i kept putting pictures everywhere, like for the pitch and texture and also the variety one. Yeah...that third one was way weird.

 

[narrator]

yeah it wasnt an hour, we had ours done in 45 minutes, the 30 second one was at least a ten second break...

id really like to measure the actual time slot of those

/edit/


errr...wtf!!! stupid school server and their inability to run anything regarding a computer....logged in as asylum, and posting as narrator...how gay!!!

yeah that was it. the melody was ok, i got that. but the rhythm was a killer, i had no idea. i dont think some of my bars were even.....hahahahaha

oh well, if you got it, then u deserve the marks. that was a tough question.

haha same here, i think my pitch was correct, but the rhythm... it was hard cause i couldnt establish the pulse properly..

grrr damn mixed metre

Yeah, I got outside and we were talking about it and my teacher did it with us and she's like the rhythm was really esy, I got like a whole bars rest in the middle how did you go?...I just had to look the other direction. A whole bars rest??!! please tell me you didn't get that!

I didn't like the question on the texture and structure one, or the mantra one. I think I only got two decent points for the mantra likeness, ah well. At least I liked the essay, I even had to ask for another booklet thingy

 

[cornJoelio]

that mantra question....eesh, what a shocker!

 

[thatsrayor]

Uh the mantra was terrible. Question 3 (the structure part, anyway) wasn't too nice either.

I swear it was impossible to find a pulse in that melodic dictation...

 

[lemonade]

I do Music 2 - Questions 3 and 4 were really hard and we had to talk about our additional topic.. i only got 2 pages for question four and only talked about 2 pieces. *sigh*
i dont think we got enough time to work out the structure properly.
I generally do well in the dictation because i have perfect pitch (bwahahaha) but i got a bit confused with the two parts... and the rhythm didnt seem right..

but anyway, there's my whinging..
