@KingOfActing, I realise you haven’t been active in this forum for over a year, but I’m posting in the hope that you might drop in occasionally. Your situation, at the time you made this post, was very similar to my son’s current situation, so I am very curious to know how you went with HSC music. Were you happy with your HSC marks for Music 2 and Extension Music?
He is just starting Yr 12 and is also a self taught musician who has never done grade exams nor had a music teacher. He has been learning for seven years and playing pieces of around 8th grade difficulty. Unlike you, he is only doing Music 1 (?I think) and majoring in composition. He has started on his fully original major compositions, but during lockdown, also played around with some arrangements for piano covers to experiment with composition. How do you think he’ll go based on these early works?
