What would you do?
on: September 05, 2005, 03:15:13 PM
Hey everyone. I've got my school exam in a week. The exam goes for 2 weeks. Should i keep practising my piano and flunk my school exams? Im in year 11, they just preliminaries. Not the HSC stuff.

Anyway if i was to drop piano for 3 weeks, what are some practice stuff for off-line-of-the-piano?
for example
trilling with 4-5
stretching your reach
musicality

You can't possibly have to spend 24 hours a day doing the exams.

The answer lufia is what doesnt come naturally to most people.
balance. you have to tackle both problems head on and when exams are over you can rest.
