Oh, I can play the piano, piano, piano. Yes, I can play the piano, pia-piano!

You may or may not recall my piano diploma distress back in December (located here and here) but apparently I have much higher standards than either of the examiner chaps because I PASSED! Reading the exam report reminds me of one of my favourite children's books (about an old lady who saw the world through rose-tinted spectacles) and I could kiss

Oh, piapiapiano DipABRSM, well done!

You rock! I have those similar high expectations of myself.

[piapiapiano]

Thank you! Yeah, high expectations are unpleasant but necessary, I find.

Congratulations!

Good going! You certainly deserve it after all your effort.

We should have a party.

[piapiapiano]

Thanks, Linda. :)

WOO WOOOOOO!!!! Congrats, Madeline! Your piano teacher would have been proud! :)

"(about an old lady who saw the world through rose-tinted spectacles)" Would that be Mrs. Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch, by any chance?

Re: from Inkwolf

[piapiapiano]

Yes, I'm glad I didn't let her down after all. :)

Not the Mrs Wiggs story, no. I can't remember what it was called anymore -- but it had lovely pictures.

Inky! What a pleasant surprise!

[leenielou]

Well done!! :D I bet you were nowhere near as bad as you still think :-p

[whizbang121]

lol. I think you're right.

Wish we had a CD

[piapiapiano]

Nah, I really WAS that bad. :D It just turns out that you have to be excruciatingly bad to fail the diploma exam. I wish I'd known that beforehand...

[ainegriffin]

Congrats on getting the Dip! See we never doubted you :)

[piapiapiano]

Ah, but if I didn't doubt then I probably wouldn't practise... :D
