I'm pretty sure this was rehearsed. He looks too relaxed and is getting everything perfectly. Edit: ok maybe except for the major 3rd interval (he said minor 3rd)
i was finding a level 8 ear test and came upon this, i think it was a major 3rd too but i couldnt tell for sure since i am already really bad at ear tests (like at first i knew major 3rd but recently for some reason i started saying minor third too, oops) :(
I took my grade 10 over two decades ago and I don't think I know what an augmented triad is. shame on me. I guess a lot has changed in the requirements. and of all the exams I've been through, I don't rememeber an examiner smiling ever. EVER
Really? I'm not trying to poo-poo you but I'm just a bass guitar player with zero in the way of training and I know that an augmented triad just means you raise the fifth. I'm almost 100% sure they would have covered that, it's super super basic.
@@MrEcted I suppose guitar players are more chord based as that's how you define what to play. you guys do chord progressions. but piano players aren't wired that way. outside of I'd say baroque and classical periods, chord progression isn't how we...learn and feel a piece. we're more about bringing out and shaping the melody that's hidden within everything else that's going on. I can tell you the distances (interval) between the notes, but I cannot tell you what that chord is called. I would imagine woodwind players to be similar. just my guess. either that or I suck 😂
@@pinkegg3179 Fair enough! I do have a biased perspective from my background, I'm sure there's a whole host of knowledge that a pianist would consider basic that has flown right over my head.
Pretty easy sight reading piece. If you've played through the grades, you will see they recycle old rcm songs for sight reading. The ear training is pretty funky. I better sharpen up on it now.
you'll get there, don't ever doubt yourself!most important thing is you have to enjoy it. so don't put too much pressure on yourself to a point where you start dreading it!
@@nikolaslavov1199 I was gonna ask too. and I rememebr back then the day before an exam, I would never touch the piano. coz if you mess up your muscle memory last minute......dooomed
@@nikolaslavov1199 I screwed up on my techniques and I'm also still pissed at the fact that my examiner docked off half a mark for interval identification because I wasn't ready :-/ but other than that everything else was alright.
@@pinkegg3179 you actually should practice if you have the time, but instead, play all your pieces super slow. Don't ever play in the written tempo before an exam (or recitals/concert)!
At 0:29 she plays a major 3rd (and he incorrectly identifies it as a minor 3rd). At 0:35, she plays a tritone that's diatonically related to the previous interval. Play them side by side, they belong to the same key and resolve nicely into each other.
Mr. Z They all mean the same thing (Augmented 4th, Diminished 5, Tri Tone) One of the ways I like to distinguish this interval in my practice is from Maria from West Side story. Nice catch with that interval from 0:29. She did play a Major 3rd.
0:32 So that was suppose to be a Major 3rd right?? I'm doing the violin exam level 10 and this ear training part was some what of a pain, could someone please confirm?
yes, musicianship is not only about playing some RCM 10 repertoire and passing the test. I wish these had greater weight in the exam, so people could actually gave importance to it.
Honestly the Exam is really easy. You just have to spend at least 2 months practicing. I’m having the exam on August 19 this year. And I’m well prepared!
RCM ear test exam is really confusing. Those ear test books are not user friendly. Online training is not exactly the same as the exam. Oh . Poor students . Scales is really scary as there are so so so many in higher level, even harder than conservatory training, unbelievable ! Look at the Royal one in the UK, they have tried their best to revise the exam to a more approachable exam and delete all “useless” part. They have detail marking scheme and precise ear training instruction and sample so parents, students and teachers could follow.
I heard it's because the some children are complaining their hands aren't big enough and all. (Especially the Chinese ones around here. They help RCM make a lot of money :P)
i wish my sight reading was this easy- i’m level seven in certificate of merit and they give u twenty seconds to look over eight measures of music before you must play and the music is relatively like this in my level. i’m scared
This is hard! I never thought musicianship is so important! And seriously it doesn’t make sense that it is! We can use devices to improve our lack of skills. Like how nowadays we don’t have to be Bach or Mozart to hear melodies in our mind! We use software which is what those composers had in their brain 🤯
This is some hunger games level type of scary

Yes! I was thinking the same

Richard Wilson gives me war flashbacks
Right the part when i saw the the sight reading. FRICKEN f# MINOR
Richard Wilson hahahaha 🌹🌹
Totally… if they pick F#m for my exam I’ll be like “seriously?… please don’t be an ass
Imagine him just showing up without him knowing he was gonna be filmed and put on UA-cam. The pressure!

Wow you're right. I'm seeing a lot while practising. This guy got it easy haha
sight reading: least of my worries though im not very good at it its ear test im worried about especially playback/clapback
Daijakake gosh mines is horrible
Mines is soon... please wish me luck
hi howd it go?
As a level 1 student this really impressed me. I really doubt I'll ever get to level 10 but it's nice to fantasize.

What fantastic sight reading
Michael Ezekiel was very impressed - he got dynamics in there which I could never do from sight reading first time haha

Seriously! I’d be playing that at half speed or slower haha

Confirmed
Yup
The major/minor 3rd and perfect 5th are always easier for piano students bc we have the sound of chords forever engraved into our heads
Do they really expect you to be this good?! Because I'm Level 10 and definitely not (even though he got the major 3rd wrong)
I don't know what's worse, going to the dentist or this
its going to the dentist, at least ths doesnt hurt ur teeth

yes, musicianship is not only about playing some RCM 10 repertoire and passing the test. I wish these had greater weight in the exam, so people could actually gave importance to it.
its worth almost half the grade!
@@MasterCrawford88 check the syllabus. Musicianship only 20%
I'm starting level 10 today and I automatically concede
RCM doesnt know what a tri-tone is. Until they update their terms rcm is a joke
A tri-tone can also be called an augmented 4th or a flat 5. Much of music theory is just arguing semantics.
Sight reading is grade 6 repertoire lol
Could you tell me the name of the piece? :)
It’s supposed to be three levels lower for piano, so in grade 10 it should be grade 7 sight reading.
I have a level 10 exam tomorrow morning so wish me luck!!!
ME TOO
I’m dyinGGg
good luck!!@@emmashao7339 i already finished arct piano lol
Oh yeah lets just be robots...
WAIT A MINUTE MY TEST IS 3 DAYS FROM TODAY
Please wish me luck 😖

hi howd it go
The last chord in the chord progression is a seventh chord. So the examinee doesn’t need to identify the type of chord, right?

0:51 not first inversion
it sounds like… no inversion: 0:55
shiver me timbers
Beethoven: Am I joke to you?
Shouldn't the third interval be major 3rd?
yeah it is
i don’t blame him,that’s pretty scary 😮
2:00 seeing his face fall as he looks at the piece
I think you have the wrong timestamp there. He's not looking at the piece at 2 minutes.
mmhm
For Rhythmic Clapback in the sight-reading section, do students need to include ornaments in their clapback?
I have never seen ornaments in any of the sight clapping examples. I would say no.
I didn't think so...
MY EXAM IS TODAY
It was 3major
Monstrous
Stupid changes - totally unreasonable - bet the examiners themselves would epically fail this RCM garbage.
I heard it's because the some children are complaining their hands aren't big enough and all. (Especially the Chinese ones around here. They help RCM make a lot of money :P)
It's not that difficult... actually doesn't change much since level 1 and level 10, which is kind of amusing, felt like the course didn't add a lot
@@Daijakake hey that’s mean, 😡
Is this the rcm 10 test for just piano or for all instruments?

do yall got tips for ear training cause i suck at it
try playin notes/intervals on the piano and think/notice their differences

is this piano ever being tuned? F# has so many beats in it, no wonder guy confused major 3d with minor one at 0:30.

What’s cadential 6/4? V6/4?
cadential 6-4 is basically a V chord directly in front of another V chord
Chord I in second inversion followed by V. Covered in level 9 harmony

Sight reading was pretty sweet!
