What I Learned from Studying for my Grade 8 Exam
This Saturday I'm sitting my first ever graded exam, and I'm diving straight into the deep end with Grade 8.

About a year or two

musicians are underpaid for the gigs that they play. The image

secondly, I thought it gave a bad impression to people about the
egotism of musicians. However, at the time I simply had a little
giggle at it and moved on.
