    Its most likely do-able if you're musical anway!

    The problem may be in having only 1 instrument at grade 5 level though! If you're very skillful at it, it'll be fine! The recommendation is "5 years classroom experiance" so Grade 5 SHOULD do-but if you're aiming for an a, with only 1 instrument it helps to be above that standard!

    There are other alternatives to instruments anyway-including a composing option or a (easy) computor programme called sibellius! Talk to a music teacher asap-if your interested it may be one of the easier subjects to take up!

    Good luck!

    Theory side of the paper would be fine for you.It's the set pieces you would find difficult.It's doable though

    Defintely do-able. I did very little work for the theory part of the course and came out with a B1. Its VERY waffely. If you know a bit about music, and the in's and out, you'll be grand.
