My eligibility for next year’s grade 8 piano exam has yet to be confirmed, pending the result of the theory exam I took last month. It doesn’t bother me at all whether I pass it or not. I didn’t start learning the piano again to pass exams. I am learning and taking exams at my own pace. I don’t want to spoil my learning experience. But, of course, it would be nice to passing the theory exam as it opens the door to more advanced learnings. In any case, I have discussed with Kimberly last week and decided to start preparing for the grade 8 practical exam now. I am not taking the 6th grade because I think it would not be a challenge and I am skipping the 7th grade because there is not a single Mozart in its syllabus. I love the Mozart sonatas. I have learned K330, which was an exam piece for this year’s grade 8 exam, even though I know I won’t be able to seat for the exam this year. And I am still enjoying it every time I practice it. I am so thankful that I have developed a passion for each of yoga and piano in the last two years. They have not only changed my life but also given me a lot of joyful experiences which my new TyTN II and KU990 don’t even come close to offer.
