Some recent piano examination results and comments for Diyana's pupils.

2010 - Spring Exam Session

Prep Test

Comments for Alexander Roberts:

"Firm and confident with Walking and Rocking - try the crescendos and diminuendos. Hopping also good - just be a little more staccato. Boating Lake: You showed the legatos and staccatos very well in this confident solo - just one hesitant bar. Jogalong: Brisk playing and notes are well known. At a slightly slower speed, you would be able to show all the rises and falls in dynamics. All very good, bravo!"

2009 - Summer Exam Session

Prep Test

Comments for Gregor Horn:

"You sit well at the piano and hand shape is developing well, just make sure you keep your wrist up. The tunes were confident and neat, with well produced tone. Boating Lake was well done with smooth melody in the left hand at the start. Jogalong was quite energetic and the listening game showed a good ear. A very good start - keep it up!"

Grade 1

  • Susie Green - Pass 117 points
  • Edward Simms - Merit 120 points

2008 - Summer Exam Session

Prep Test

Comments for Susie Green:

"Your playing of the memory tunes had poise, precision and shape; good hand positions. Control of the quavers is coming on well in Car Chase in both hands. The tune really sang out in Boating Lake and supporting chords were sensitive in touch. All aural responses were prompt and secure. Well Done!"
