Brilliant – what did you get?

Thanks for all your advice:)

Sorry for the late reply – I’ve been on holiday! I got a Merit overall:)

For Rockschool there isn’t a theory requirement like there is with ABRSM, they do build some music theory questions into the exam though. They obviously do advise learning the theory though!

From what I remember, I found the technical exercises challenging because of the speed and having to use my full range in quite quick movements! There were a lot of semitones as well. The rhythm wasn’t too bad because I treated it like I was learning a new song, it was just that it moved through different keys and scales quite quickly!

Yes that was hard – I actually messed up on the rhythm of one of the technical exercises and felt like a total idiot for not realising they were quavers (as you can pre-prepare these for God’s sake!!) but somehow managed to scrape a distinction so I was pretty pleased. Was ill on the day too! Which they don’t care about by the way.
