Theory, piece playing, scales, can be practiced, easily gained through study. Ear training, dictation, Aural recognition, sight singing, is a disaster, after years of drills and quiz apps, clearly genetic. Not sure why I keep at it, to be honest, no way I'll ever pass, any small gains earned disappear within a week if temporarily moving away from the continual daily drills.

Thanks Gareth, these are great tips and this was very entertaining. You have a gift for making things very clear and easy to understand and I like your sense of humour especially as regards bluffing when you make an error. -I was actually playing a different version of that particular piece so that's why I played a G#-. lol

All great advice, especially point 4. One thing I would add, especially for nervous performers, is -make sure you breathe-. Obvious perhaps (!), but slow measured breathing before any exam helps soothe anxieties. Great upload, thank you! -

So good, Gareth, thanks! I listen to a selection of American teachers online. Your understated succinctness is refreshing. I hope to take GVIII 21-22, and will mull over your helpful advice.

Regarding #5, there are certainly some examiners who will deem any gap between their instruction to begin playing the pieces and the candidate's first note as a hesitation!
