Registration for the Trinity/Guildhall exams is now on, and it closes on 7th September.
Exams will be held from late November to early December.
Being really anxious (as Singaporeans say, kiasu), I shall assume my exam date is on the 20th of November. Thus, I have 100 more days to my exam as from today.
This will be my first EVER oboe examination in my whole entire life, and it happens to be a diploma examination. This exam comes after 2-and-a-half years of oboe playing. The programme is as follows:
Concerto in D Major, op 7 no. 6 by Albinoni
Concerto in D Minor, no. 1 by Lebrun (first movement)
Sonate by Hindemith (first movement)
Sarabande and Allegro by Grovlez
Argh. What am I getting myself into?
I’m beginning to think that 3 hours of practice a day isn’t enough.
HELP.
**UPDATE**
a conversation over MSN with my dear accompanist just 5 minutes ago went like this:
