It happened today at 12.41 and yes, I did split loads of notes in the two tunes. Mr Simon Hogg was a gracious accompanist and it all went smoothly. Thanks to everyone for their wonderful support.

More practice today and playing more quietly with softer articulation seems to work well. I must listen to my own teaching some more!

Thanks so far, I am really chuffed! For your information, I am doing Trinity Guildhall without the Aural component and reading the scales and lip slurs! Makes it slightly less difficult.
