if id had that examiner id have told her where to stick her syllabus and aural book! ;D lol she had some other comments did this examiner. To my friend who went in after me (I told her what I witch she was!) she said "Thank God for that!" after she finished the sight reading. Then when my friend said for a joke after her scales "scales were never really my strong point" the examiner said "no obvioulsy not! let's up your aurals are better!". All said with a perfectly straight face! Maybe she just likes putting people down?! My friend got 130, but failed the scales! |

I can think of something really embarrassing about my G7 at Christmas. I played all my scales wrong, and messed up sight reading and guessed on the aurals, and she was a really sarcastic examiner saying stuff like "And I gave you the easy one as well" after I played them. She was quite patronising, and I was not amused, and I'd had a stomach bug for the week leading up (so had my friend who was doing G6) so all I wanted to do as to throw myself down a dark hole and stay there! So I went out, and someone asked how it went, and I just burst into tears! Then to make it even worse, my friend's mum grabbed hold of me, made me sit on her knee and kept patting my head and going "there, there" with my friend going "leave her alone mum, stop it your embarrassing her and ME!" Not been that embarassed since!  Oh my goodness that is horrible, they're not supposed to say stuff like that! Stupid woman. My G7 examiner was really frosty, both my accompanied pieces were 2 movements each, so 4 movements altogether. At the end of the 1st one, we waited for her to tell us to do the next one, as sometimes they are still writing, and she said nothing and I was just standing there. She apparently made some of my teacher's younger pupils cry because she was so frosty. Even when I went 'bye' when I went out of the exam room, she didn't say anything! |

Neither should examiners make pupils cry! |

It was like she was made out of ice!
Goodness, that other examiner really shouldn't be that rude to her candidates.

You would've thought they'd be nice to young kids! Making them cry by their tone of voice is wrong! No wonder people I hate doing exams!

Exactly, she was a real contrast to my flute teacher who is really nice, so I bet they got a shock.
