Funnily enough I haven't done the grades really, been far too busy! I've seen too many people plough through the grading system with a total lack of regard for technical development, etc. I think I took grade 5 but that was a loooong time ago. I'd be happy to explain the grading system to you all, but I'll have to come back and do it later. I have some serious sonata-memorising to do.
