I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed or numbered. My life is my own.
I am not a number, I am a free man.

I’ve just passed my Grade 6 Music Theory exam.
I’m very happy.
I'm sure that there are others here who remember Mario's quest and his thirst for musical knowledge, always gratefully received, and it is great to read that after two years of hard study it has reaped rewards.

Very kind of you Pulcie.
I’m slightly embarrassed at trumpeting such a minor achievement in comparison to the achievements of several others on this forum.
Still, it means much to me.
Now, regarding Grade 7, what’s in the syllabus, I wonder…
Well, figured bass, ok,
Suspensions, progressions, ok,
Modulations – ah! Been dying to learn these pesky things,
Constructing a chorale… aaagh!
Navigating a score, this MUST be useful to me.
Seems like another two years of hard work.
To those who are light years ahead of me, you do understand my inestimable respect for you, don’t you?

A moment too late and we can never reach them any more in this world.

Thanks to all.
I’m prouder of HOW this was achieved.
Much as I love my country dearly, teaching methods and standards here can in no way possibly compare to those available in the UK – no wonder most foreigners wish to be taught there!
The online teaching service I’m using is
www.mymusictheory.com
Ms Victoria Williams is a delightful lady, based (I think) in Leeds, UK.
Best wishes

I just renewed my driving licence online - successfully, I think, although one can never be absolutely sure until the new one arrives or an official email to the contrary. Can't find any records of the last time I did this, or if it was online or by post, so one wonders if one has given consistent details. Luckily I do remember my mother's maiden name, (surely this anachronistic concept of women having maiden names needs to be updated or done away with?); but whether or not Middlesbrough was where she was actually born I have no proof and only the slightest of knowledge - there's no place of birth on her birth certificate - so we'll just have to wait for the fortnight to pass and see. Otherwise renewing this way seems to be a reasonably straightforward process.
