ooo....haha
i passed my fundamentals adi. the one with the singing, transposing, hearing, theory.
only the performance, the one with impro, sight playing, pieces dunno can pass or not....haihhhzzz

learned classical guitar under yamaha syllabus, in my opinion, the guitar songs selection in yamaha book is more interesting than ABRSM.

hmm... some 25+ years ago i think.. yamaha ss2, what else piano le ... and is in their very first shop before they move to kelana .. no long just a while then ABRSM with private tutor

ex-yamaha student reporting in...

grade 5 passed fundamentals easily, practical failed twice, give up and never finish it until now (10 years already)...

wow u must be like 50 yrs old! =D!!


that's sad =(

nola... mid 30s le.. not so old le...

lol ...very straight forward....

yamaha student for... i dunno, few months? LOLZ. sorry, don't remember much.

by the way the grade 5 i was talking about is yamaha piano course. i did take the electone grade 6 (spent only like half a year to prepare, but never learn electone before that), passed without much problem, but scare to take grade 5 lol!

not yamaha student, but learn yamaha syllabus long time ago...
pass yamaha grade 5........

Was a Yamaha student last time when i was a kid, took their J course piano major until grade 7, stop for a very long time (almost 10 yrs)...
recently back to Yamaha continuing piano, and started electone, and one more band lesson there =)

i wish i had the luxury to formally study music. i only studied for less than a year then my teacher quit on me. since then i self studied.

this isn't related to the topic but imma share this anyway. LOL.

i bought my yamaha cx40 5 years ago. while my brother was doing the transaction, i started playing random songs in their pianos. after a few songs, one of the staff approached me. and offered me a job as a piano teacher right there in that store. i was 20 years old, still studying at a university. so i couldn't do it

until now, i wonder what they teach in music schools. lol i still wonder how my self training can be matched up with formally trained students.

Yamaha classical guitar student here. I feel that my teacher teaching like too slow, can't blame also, half an hour per week only.

Is it normal to rise 1 grade per year? Or should it be faster?

IMO, for individual lessons, the more hardworking u are, the faster u improve.

I improve in skill but exams, I'm pretty much constrained to 1 grade per year. My teacher say don't rush

That's why I constantly find some fingerplucking pop songs to learn, and also those really nice classical songs.
