Whats your performance standard? (2 Viewers)

[enak]

Maybe as a guideline, an AMEB qualification or something, just interested to know how good you guys doing music are.

*pouts* i already made a thread about this...

but ne way.. i did my amus.a on piano a couple of years ago and im doing music 2, performance elective

what about u?

 

[enak]

Bleh, failed amus earlier in the year.

You did amus a couple of years ago?? When did you start, have you done the lmus?

 

[lemonade]

i got my amus when i was 15
it was my second go, but i got there.. i was so stressed out in the exam though (cause id been studying for and playing those pieces for 1.5 years)

lmus - hell no! i dont have nearly enough time to be practising and studying for that! i was glad i got the amus out of the way whilst i was still in the younger years of highschool - less work to do.
i tell people that i might do the lmus when i finish the hsc. really depends what i get into uni for. im pretty sure i wont do music at uni though cause theres no money in piano performing.. (my forte) im hoping to get into journalism, but if i end up leaving off uni for a couple of years (if i dont get it! ) then id probably do it in 2 years or something.. but i dont know..

lol.. well that was a long and rambling answer (sorry - freaking out about 4 unit, but procrastinating to take my mind off it...)

You have to be really good at performance to earn anything, especially for piano as you can't get into an orchestra .

Ye I should of done the A.mus earlier, but I started piano in yr 7, a little bit of a rush to do it early.

BTW, L.mus doesn't look THAT different from the A.mus exam. I hate theory!!!

I'll probably do the A.mus again after hsc if uni isn't too much work.

15 is pretty early to do A.mus, well done.

thanks enak

u started piano in year 7? then ur doing pretty good to be where you are now!!

mum started me off when i was 4 (i was pretty much just playing songs that comprised entirely of middle C and semibreves) but i started getting lessons from a proper teacher when i was 6

music and english is pretty much what defines me, its who i am. (sorry if this sounds melodramatic, its getting late and my eng ext 2 MW is stressing me out)

 

[enak]

hehe, good luck in english ext2

Ye, I started in year 7 with 4th grade , skipped all the earlier ones, I don't know how I passed that exam, started in march, exam in november, managed a B pass!

I should of started earlier

Music (arts) maths (science) and money (commerce/finance) defines me , the 3 M's

 

[lemonade]

mm.. id like to have money, but im no good at maths or commerce or anything, in fact i dont do any maths at all! (and im a lot happier because of it)

That would be a very niche market job, but it would be really good, go around the world, listen to top performers play and top conductors conduct. Im kinda disappointed that I missed out on Vladimir Askenazy perform at Carnegie Hall earlier this year, we had to leave NY a few weeks before he performed there

ah.. Russians..

I'd get free tickets to go listen to music all the time.. I'd have to say to people, 'sorry, i have to work.. i have to go to a really expensive opera tonite..' yay! would be so fun (these thoughts are what is keeping me through the hsc - lol)

 

[enak]

Yes it would be fun the 'work' is really hard mum I won't be able to stay tonight! hahaha

 

[Weisy]

I did L.mus when I was 15, and A.mus when I was 12.

Ashkenazy is performing this week at the Opera House, if I'm not mistaken. Otherwise it's next week, or it could have been last week.

I'm seeing Eugene Onegin this week!
