The Music Tech exams
Today were the first two of my exams since the end of May, and were ones I wasn’t looking forward to. The first exam was film music (I will never, ever, watch Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves again – I’ve seen it too many times); the second was on popular music and MIDI. They’d be alright if they weren’t so hard to revise for. The latter’s past papers had been easy enough, but we’d only had one practice paper for the former. They change the set films every two years – we were lucky we were doing it this year otherwise we wouldn’t have had any practice papers.
Anyhoo, they were reasonably easy, with just one question on each I wasn’t happy with. I finished the MIDI paper with fifteen minutes to go, whereas everyone had said it was a tough exam to finish in the time we had. Beforehand, I wasn’t confident and thought I’d barely manage to scrape a B. Now I’m optimistic and think my B is pretty solid. (An A is far too unlikely given I got a B last year.)
The best bit of both the exams had to be in the middle of the MIDI one. We were sitting there, concentrating on the computers we were working at, when the door to the computer room opened and the sounds of a noisy class of Year Nines entered the room, along with a teacher. He walked into the room, stared at us, turned to the invigilator and said incredulously “you have an exam in here?” then walked back out. Aah, Mr V. We will all miss you terribly.
