Scales first.
G major both hands. easy peasy.
D major both hands. still ok.slipped a little.
F# melodic minor. (ok wait. before this right. the examiner dint tell me whether both hands or not.so i kept asking. so wen i asked both hands right?for this scale.the examiner sounded a little impatient.so i freaked.put my hands on F# and started pressing keys.seriously. i had no idea wat i was playing. den i like focused and was like oh im playing the correct scale. lol. )
staccato A major. ok la
contrary motion F# minor. ok i totally screwed this one up.i started wrong and just gave up.so i just move my hands up and down.lol.
em.double thirds C major left hand.easy.
chromatic. sigh.this is the worst. i played correctly all the way.but i ended on the wrong note! sigh.
appeggios sucked.seriously.but i always suck at this anyway.
and diminished 7th on D#. this one was ok too.
pieces.
first piece played all right at the beginning.slips in the middle. ended okay.
2nd piece beginning had a slip after that smooth sailing.
3rd piece sucked.seriously.sigh.
sight reading : ok la.
aural: i think was ok too. except the examiner played like super fast and i was kinda em wats happening?
the worst part was the examiner finished.looked at me with a smile and said dats it u can go. and i just stared blankly at him. den i was like ok thx. runs out of room now.
