Hello Julian, the starting note for F and G major scales and broken chords (Left Hand) is an octave higher in each case than is printed in the book. Should we adhere to the printed copy or do you think they have made a mistake in the book? I've always taught as per the book - so starting on the F / G two octaves below the RH for hands separately. Many thanks.
Hello Vicky - you ask a good question. I don't believe students need to play scales and arpeggios in exams at the octave indicated in the notation. What is important, especially in these early grades, is that the student is comfortable and playing them over a range of the keyboard that facilitates this. Small children won't in reality have much option in this regard.
Hi Ramesh, Yes, you're quite right. There is an F# in the key-signature, suggesting we're in the key of G major. But the piece uses a 5 finger position (G A B C D), so no F#s.
Hi Julian I am a beginner to piano (I already play a little guitar and sing a bit - both in an untrained fashion) and I am planning to take the Trinity Piano course. Am just wondering how much music theory is taught alongside the "purely piano" syllabus - because my long term interest is in composing music. Is it necessary to also learn theory separately or do we learn enough alongside piano. Also asking as I suspect the exam only represents a part of what is taught. of Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks! And apologies, if that was a dumb question.
So far I'm only familiar with the ABRSM books. Is there a difference in the main focus or philosophy between Trinity and ABRSM? I'm thinking about getting some Trinity books too because I've seen some great material on your channel.
I’d say Trinity is considerably more intuitive, well thought out and structured, in every aspect, from pieces to scales and options for music knowledge, sight-reading, aural tests & improvisation. Even the exercises are relevant and useful. ABRSM has none.
It’s worth looking into some Trinity’s resources. I was wanting to do grade 1 with ABRSM, and I have now decided to prepare for Trinity’s grade 1. I did a lot of reading around both of them, compared their syllabuses, their online resources, fees, availability of exams listened to both sets of grade 1 pieces and decided in the end to go with Trinity.
In Compound Time (6/8, 9/8 or 12/8) a beat is subdivided into 3 (not 2 as in Simple Time) and a beat is represented by a dotted crotchet. So set your metronome to 44 to feel the pulse for that particular piece.
My exam is tomorrow and your video has helped me alot. I can't thank you enough
Hope it goes well for you.

In exercise 2b, the key signature indicates that there is one sharp, but there is no sign of it, nor is it audible. Can you please help me?

Hi need some clarification. Why are we not playing sharps and flats in broken chords. Thank you.
Ah, well first of all we need to think what a chord is? How do we form a triad?
thx
If you could publish a new video for the new syllabus 2023, that will be great
Thanks for the request. It'll be out early December.
Did you do 3a and 3b
