    I do music theory and I find it hard... If anyone could get a paper and PDF it, it would be grateful. Btw I think i lost about 20-30 marks. Do you think I can get and A? my coursework is around an A-B?

    yeah, I've done my grade 5 music theory and that exam was harder than my theory exam, which is considered a hard exam. If it was more theory based I'd definitley do better. Ah well, hopefully the gradeboundaries will go in our favour but i think that a lot of questions were very ambiguous and unfair.

    I put bamboo flute

    And for the question about what percussion is this, would i get a mark for tuned? or was it drum kit.
    thats right, I put Bamboo Flute, then crossed out the Bamboo, and afterwards googled it and found thats the right answer, hopefully mark scheme is generous+ they can see my bamboo :P (Although the technical name was Bansuri)
    I put Drum Kit
