My Weird World

Hey So I am now entering the second week of summer. The last day of school was...interesting. I had to do a keyboard exam. First of all, I have been playing keyboard for 7 years and this was the fifth keyboard exam I have done.

I had to do lots of scales, play 3 pieces, answer some questions, do some sight reading and do some aural tests. Although this may sound like a lot, the exam only took about fifteen minutes. The examiner was really nice as well. I got my results back a week later and I got 91/100 which is a distinction ! I am really happy with the result because I spent literally months preparing for this exam. -Emicool

It wasn’t just us though; the teachers also had no clue. This meant that for the first 10-15 minutes or so everyone was walking around aimlessly whilst stressed teachers were trying to hoard us into areas while the...
