Our Music

*I'm writing this becoz I hope you'll be able to read this*

The sound of the piano came from the TV so I started watching

The no. of people taking the ABRSM Exams (including both theory and instrument exams)
Has been increasing much every year since 2001- 2002
From around 52,XXX students to 85,XXX.

That's around one eighth of the total no. of people. Global figures.

XXX

"Now the grade 8 cert. means nothing great when everybody's got it,
probably there'll be 8 people out of 10 who can play the piano,
and 6 of them would have reached grade 8.
I want to get to the Advanced Level, coz in case I don't get a job,
I can alwayz try teaching piano and make a living out of it."


As I've heard, some secondary school has included the requirement of a grade 8 certificate in at least one instrument.


The show ended with a scene of a classical concerts,
few people with scattered applause.


*What kind of culture is this???????????????????????????????????????????????????????*

GOODNESS....!!
couple thoughts:
- i shall put my words into action - get an advanced level certificate asap! (this first thing came to my mind has proved my unalterable hkness... which is so sad)
- can they do a research on the number of people who LIKES playing the piano among those who can play it??
- some like it, some promote it; then everyone does it, and we kill it. phew. this is my city...yay...
