I am a 38yr old adult beginner approaching Grade 5 territory. I do the exams as they give me focus and help me aim for higher standards than I might otherwise! I really hope to be able to improvise in the Gypsy jazz style in the future though classical playing is growing on me all the more as I improve.
At the moment I practice as much as I can between bringing up my young family (2 boys aged 6 and 7).
