I'm pretty pissed
that I spent £25 on my Grade VIII book and will fail to get it this exam season. Will have to spend another £25 and then however much the exam is (around £100) when I finally want to take it.

I will complete D.eme Arabesque at some point though.

I'd be a bit curious to know what grade I might be on the guitar

I don't know how much faith I have in grades
I may be 7/8 but I'm not performance standard, and I cannot play much. I also cannot sightread to save my life (though I passed grade 7 sightreading. Having failed all but 1 before...)

I can't read proper music any more
but I can sightread tab like a motherfucker.

have got a good ear these days too, so much so that it surprises me sometimes

Your Grade 13 book?
Have they magically introduced five extra grades since I took my grade 8 then?

Piano
Like every other middle class privately-educated girl.

I gave that up after Grade 4 and learnt to play the saxophone instead.

My sister was hardcore and played both
she was excellent at the saxophone.
