i'm not to sure mines in March sometime i think! what are you doing for yours?

sterculelum

No I'm in 4th year. Did mine last year, double bass and guitar. Just need to know for a different reason. They mark it way easier than grade exams.

I dunno when the date is. It's usually done with beofre easter afaik..

Has eveyone decided what pieces they're doing?

lilmissprincess

Have about 12 recorder peices to choose from and got two songs picked, must learn to actually play recorder and make sure accompanying guitar player knows two songs- hang on, is it allowed to do a duet with guitar and voice, or does it just count as all my score or all hers?

sterculelum

lilmissprincess

Is the mark on the duet mentioned in post above, well, does it go on both our results, or just mine/just hers?

sterculelum

Arctic Monkeys might be like a little dated/passé by the time it comes around...

I did two solo dbass and two group guitar (Cure's Boys Don't Cry, Nirvana's Man Who Sold The World). Keep it simple and they'll love you for it.

lilmissprincess

I'm singing The Cranberrries Zombie ( so far, it could be "Accidentally in Love"), and "Closest thing to Crazy, Katie Melua. The songs are already wrecking my head, especially as i wanted to do an Oasis one, but it won't go right on the other girls guitar...

lilmissprincess

How many other schools make you do recorder?

PurpleFistMixer

Yeah, mine does too. Eww. Good thing I dropped music.
Though I may be taking it up for LC... but that's another story.

Mine makes you learn recorder but thank feckin' god I'm doing it outside school so don't have the torture of learning the recorder!

My nieces have done

#1 - piano
#2 - violin -> drums (extra ear plugs acquired for christmas)
#3 - recorder -> piano
#4 - xylophone
Imagine all 4 in one room on different instruments and tunes.

#5 - "Goal!" (turning into a tomboy)

nephew #1 - vocals only, he's only 2 months old

i had to learn recorder it was so borin!my teacher picked the songs for our group the one she has so far is song for ireland and its so old and crap i wanted to sing hero but one of the girls in the group couldn't keep the tune

PurpleFistMixer

Odd. Can't you just do it on your own?

Also, for the love of god, please use at least one full stop. Your post reads like you've never taken a breath in your life. =(

madbabe(",)

sorry! i suppose i could have but i didn't want to leave the group because then there would only be 2 girls in it.Also i don't like singing on my own i get so nervous i start to shake.

Uck. Recorder. Sounds really bad. When I play it that is.
