I don't have to play those three / six tracks for a while

[bluesparky]

Last week I did two music exams and although I actually do love doing exam after exam I do get a bit bored of playing the same few songs & tracks on the run-up to the big day.

I had a piano exam on the friday and then the bass exam on the saturday so that's actually 6 songs I'll purpously avoid for the forseeable future. I feel liberated, like I can play other stuff, concentrate on rudiments, trasnscribing, reading and learning new stuff without thinking that the exam pieces are getting bitter because I'm not giving them enough attention!

Now that I've done the RGT, Trinity Rock & Pop and the Rock School exams I imagine I'll be struggling to find another exam to do on bass anyway. I think it's a bit over the top to re-do the same exam for the same examing board just because a new syllabus has come out - well, I say that now anyway..
