i'm not sure woh fatt still carry cuenca or not. another guy who's carry this brand is in puchong. if not mistaken, he's also carry rodriguez last time, but too bad, i don't have his contact.  sweat.gif sorry!!
u can go there earlier, there's a waiting room for you to warm up n practice there. it wasn't cold.
thumbup.gif agree. but a lot ppl looking for brand, n where it's made from!!! label it's to show those trusted in 'brand'... i just got the stupid tanglewood from china, label inside is u.k. even headstock also printed in u.k.  doh.gif
by the way, not recommended admira, esteve not bad. u can get the model 1.4st, solid top, mahogany back n side, also thousand ++++
if willing to invest, can get the esteve model 8, full solid indian rosewood.

great articles about performing anxiety.

In the exam, you CAN make mistake but never break down, just keep going. I got student feel terrible after exam but end up getting a merit.
exam is not about making perfect playing, is more about making your music interesting. smile.gif
To make you feel better, even Ms. Yang Xuefei make mistake in her performance, but nobody care, because she make great music. smile.gif


Unlike school exams where students "kinda" punished for bad grades (move you to lower classes etc.), nobody said you can not play guitar anymore if you did badly in exam, there is always next year. smile.gif
And Bad grade in music exam, doesn't mean you are bad player, maybe you are just nervous on that that particular day, or you broke your nail, or you having cold etc.

For tomorrow, the result of your exam is irrelevant, your experience of sitting for an exam is much much more important than that. think, feel and remember each moment, that will help you in the future. smile.gif

thanks for the article! really inspiring! hopefully i won't freak out tomorrow. biggrin.gif

a bit regret not having longer finger nails now =/ sometimes getting stuck when plucking fast.

if you get stuck when plucking, then there is a problem with the SHAPE of your nails not your length. Consult your teacher. smile.gif

Agreed. Last time I sit for a guitar exam, I didnt feel satisfied with the result  sad.gif . My teacher told me there's no need to feel sad, if I played to another examiner, I would get different marks, that is why music is an art.  smile.gif Exam result doesn't mean everything.

We feel nervous because we're too concern how people look at us when we perform. Your focus is on your playing, not the examiner.

Last few days you were worried about your aural, today you did well, congraz!  biggrin.gif
No worries, it's normal to have some mistakes in a song, as long as your did well in other parts of the exam, it should be alright. Confirm can pass.

because i keep getting wrong when listening to the first note n last note ma. the part where they ask u whether is it same/higher/lower key. but when i answered can see her smiling. biggrin.gif

i am not worried about passing. just hoping can get distinction. blush.gif but i guess its a bit too much to ask for after the mistake. sad.gif

does anyone know about the trinity guitar exam,
whether the techical suite need to memorise or not?
technical suite is the optional of scale arpeggio,
as we know scale arpeggio must be memorised.

for my grade 2 exam i can have the option to choose. and i did not do scale/arpeggio. opted for technical suite instead biggrin.gif
