Congratulations to my little sister.. Yamaha
You may or may not know that my little sister Teaches Piano and has done for a good few years. She has worked at it since she was about 12 and is professionally qualified in playing to grade 8 and also has a diploma in teaching, yet continues to study and better herself daily. She has currently been battling with the teaching Diploma that at times got her quite down due to its level of intensity... 
Well today she passed.
Congratulations Sis, you deserve it and i couldnt be more pleased for you
This means your no longer just Valerie Whiteside.
Your Now: Valerie Whiteside DipLCM (performance) Dip ABRSM (teaching)

PassionFord Post Whore!!
Well done 
The missus played at school and got to grade 4, and has wanted to get back in to it.
So I bought her this for Christmas. Was a bitch to keep a surprise
She's doing really well, but I don't suppose you fancy giving lessons in Bristol?

Fantastic!!! Good for her, its never too late. I started as an adult (after 8 lessons as a child) at the age of 20!
Fancy getting a piano for Xmas, awesome!!
Bristol is a bit far for me, but tell her to check out http://www.abrsm.org
Great forums and advice re teaching and learning

Nie one Val My dad is a qualified pianist - graduated from the Royal Academy Of Music some time in the 70's IIRC Tried to teach me when I was younger but it wasn't my thing - I got to grade 2 and decided I wanted to play drums instead So been doing that now for the past 10years!
Now go resize your siggy before Eagle bans you
