I sat my exam on Friday (12/11/2010). I was so nervous once I got in there, its like my blood just rushed to my head and I couldn't think straight. Adrenaline kicked in and my hands just started shaking, my heart was beating like it was going to come out of my chest and I couldn't relax. Taking in deep breaths didn't help. My fingers just felt like jelly.
I went through my technical stuff. Some scales went good and some not so good. My fingers kind of got twisted up in themselves. I asked a couple of times if I could start again. Not so good.
I started my pieces. Menuet was like a nightmare. I started it twice and stuffed up both times but on the second one I just thought I am going to keep going no matter what. Next I did A little flower. That went ok, I got through from start to finish without a mistake. Same with the Miniature Prelude and a slight hesitation between two notes in Miniature Fugue, but I was happy with those because I completed them.
My theory seemed alright and my rhythm clapping, pitch, and singing went ok. Then I had a choice of the extra pieces so I chose Chagrin d'enfant which I felt more confident with and that went well too.
Overall I did most things ok, but not sure if I have done enough to pass. Now the waiting game begins. I couldn't sleep that night thinking about what happened, going over things in my head. I am hoping that what may have seemed like a disaster to me, didn't come across that badly to the examiner. Time will tell.
