The dread of the aural exam

Last week, the teacher finally managed to get her way ( I've been making various excuses) and got me to do part of my aural training. *ouch* The singing the melody was easier in grade 6. Singing the lower part of the melody requires special powers of hearing. I don't have that. Identifying the cadences is slightly better. Sigh-singing was and will continue to be an uphill task. So what I did was to buy some specimen ABRSM aural training for grade 7 on Sunday.
