Last weekend, our daughter completed her first-ever music exam: 4th Grade Clarinet.
She’s studied clarinet the past two years in Jamestown, and has become very proficient, producing beautiful tones and showing wonderful musicianship.
And, the examiners agree - the results arrived via email this evening – an A!
I hope you'll all forgive me, but I’m seriously feeling the need to put that grade into large, bold letters....
That grade again:
The criteria for receiving an A Grade is as follows:
“The candidate demonstrates an overall superior level of
achievement in meeting the syllabus objectives in all Sections, in terms of
musicianship, security of technique (including intonation, tone, phrasing,
articulation, rhythm), and stylistic awareness.”
I have a feeling that her Grandfather, who was a music
teacher and a very accomplished musician, is smiling down from heaven
tonight.
Congratulations, Helena – we are very proud of you!

Wow
Linda,
Congratulations to your beautiful daughter!
Our eldest daughter plays the clarinet too. We know all about the hard work needed to become proficient, and the nerves before an exam and those proud mum feelings after the results come out! Linda, a great achievement for your daughter.
"I’m seriously feeling the need to put that grade into large, bold letters...." So glad you did. I would have too!!
God bless.
