RunnyBunny Sep 2020 1:17pm, 5 Sep 2020 1,102 posts	0 RunnyBunny I don't do grades anymore, just know roughly what I am. I took cello up for fun a few years ago, and I don't think grades are fun, so I'm not doing them.

SPR Sep 2020 9:15pm, 6 Sep 2020 31,190 posts	0 SPR There must be a way to make it fun? I've never done grades. I did do music half GCSE in school and got a C but didn't need to be able to read music for that.
WA Sep 2020 11:35pm, 6 Sep 2020 7,393 posts	0 WA The girls go to a local rock music schoolfor singing and bass guitar lessons. School also does keyboard, drums, guitar and brass. They teach what the kids want to learn- no exams unless they want to take them. Plenty of opportunities to join up with others as part of a band. They cater for adults too. Really missed it during lockdown, looking forward to starting again next week Also our local samba band is hopefully starting practice again next week. Sooo looking forward to playing again
