Today....

This morning went to college at 11.30am... only have 2 hours class -- piano class.. So funny, my class combine with 2.5, but there are only 12 from my class, and 5 from 2.5. Suppose each class has 17 people, but today, combine two classes' students only has one class' number. Lecturer gives us pressure again. We only left 2 more weeks to practice before the final exam. All major and minor scales up to 5# and 5b need to be played in hands together, two octaves. Arpeggios also up to 5# and 5b major and minor scales, but played in separate hand. Then, we need to transpose a piece, either up or down a major 2nd, minor 2nd, major 3rd and minor 3rd. This is really tough la. Sight reading also has problem, and we are not use to transposing a piece! Besides that, we need to play the chord I, IV and V in the position that the examiner ask to in the major and minor scales that we've learned. Last part is to accompany a song, either using broken chord style, arpeggios or strumming... So crazy! I wonder how to practice all those, especially to the beginners.. And our lecturer told us that each student will be in the exam room for 30 minutes! And the examiner is a degree holder pianist. haha, but how come the module that she writes so many mistakes...
