Higher Music 2019/20

AQA?

ye

How's everyone getting on with Higher music? Anyone got their practical exam date coming up?

My Practical is 18th and 19th of March

That's good you've still got a wee while to prepare What instruments is it you play?

Piano & Tuned Percussion
I'd say I'm alright at piano and I'm working towards Trinity Grade 6 but I'm absolutely shocking when it comes to tuned percussion even though everyone says it's really easy but we have to practise on the Glockenspiel and for the prelim and exam it's on the Marimba. I'm better on the marimba but it's hard to play when you're used to something so small

Hi, I have my practical on Wednesday (though I think it might be getting moved to Tuesday for personal reasons) anyways, does anyone know how many times you can restart your piece if you mess up in the exam?

Here's a tip. Never restart! Keep calm and carry on! Half the time, you will be the only one that will notice the mistake. Just pretend it never happened, and keep going. If you go back, you'll cost yourself more marks. So don't.

P.S: May I ask what instruments are you doing for the exam? Thank you.

Flute and Keyboard. It's just if massively mess up one bar (on keyboard) I'm usually out of the flow for 10 seconds and I would rather restart if I can't pick it back up. Do you know how many attempts you get?

Has anyone else had their Music practical date? I've had mine, it went great!

I was Piano and Tuned Percussion, Piano is my strong-point, I'm shocking at Tuned Percussion (Xylophone), so I'm happy on how that went. Anyone else had theirs yet?
