I chose Music GCSE purely because of my level of skill in the trumpet. But knowing that it's 50% composition which I find to be the worst part of the course, I often regret choosing it in the first place.
Some of the people who are the best at composition in my class either play the guitar or drums and/or don't know how to read music at all, which is odd.
So the performance part is easy for me, which is 25% (the other 25% is the Listening exam, which isn't too bad either.
At the moment I play Clarinet and the Bassoon. I got to grade three on the clarinet before I quit doing grades. Been playing the clarinet for 6 years and the bassoon for 4 years.
I used to play the french horn which I did for 4 years. I sing too.
I never took GCSE music, I don't like performing by myself and I prefer it as a hobby rather than knowing all the ins and outs of it.
No, I'm thoroughly lacking musical talent. However, I do know how to run a sound board and did that for about 4 years at our church. So I can't play it, but I can mix it. Back in 6th grade I sang in the choir, although looking back I can't quite understand why... my voice is terrible.
I play the Keyboard, I'm trained to use/operate Korg, Roland and Moog synthesizers and I'm learning to DJ. Although with a busted wrist, I can't play much but I do my best. I also got an A* in music GCSE.
I did music GCSE for two weeks, and then decided to wander over and do a Drama GCSE instead.
I played keyboard back then, to a pretty low standard. Now, I play bass, again to a pretty low standard. I've barely touched it in recent months, and half the stuff I knew i've forgotten. I'm all self-taught though, I only got it as something to mess around with, not something to do as a serious hobby.
