Grade 1 piece
on: January 27, 2008, 04:31:56 PM
This is Andante from the ABRSM selected piano exam pieces. It's on a keyboard, and the sound is very muffled- but I hope it's ok?
I was wondering about what mark would I get for this? And what can be improved.
Thank you  :-[

Notes where right, but the long sustained notes simply do not work on this electric keyboard and thus if you sounded like this on a real piano in exam you would lose marks.

My Step-daughter played this piece for her Grade 1, last year.  8)

Yours sounded very controlled.  :-\

I think "lostinidlewonder" is right about the quality of instrument, but we can't all afford real pianos.  :'( :'(

I thought it sounded very good.  ;D :D
