Whoops! I just realized that the Clementi piece I included in this video is actually a grade 5 level piece. There are 3 movements in Sonatina op. 36 no. 2 - the first movement is grade 5, and the other two are grade 4. Sorry!

I absolutely loved the way you played the pieces in this one instead of an insert!! Please would you consider some more content aimed at more advanced players? I’m doing Grade 8 ABRSM and would love to see some videos on your take of the higher grades and suggested repertoire 🙂 Xxx
Jazz pianist here. About the last piece: You'd basically always play left hand Walking base lines very legato. Good inspiring video for pieces for my students nonetheless, thanks!
Caleb Onstead I was going to take the exam in December and play this. I took level 3 exam back in May. However I was out of town in December. So my teacher passed me for level 4. She didn't think there was a huge difference between 3 and 4. However, 5 is harder she said so I will take that exam instead along with theory exam, when I am ready :)
The "Minuet in G" Anh 116 is a memorable piece in "A Charlie Brown Christmas" cartoon released in 1965. There is a scene where Snoopy walked by some cuckoo clocks with the piece playing in the background. "Linus & Lucy" is also in the cartoon.
For the Nocturne, it is pretty much at RCM 10/ABRSM 8 or just a little above. But to play it really well requires significant experience to get the phrasing right. The waltz is a little easier, ABRSM 6 to 7.
Can you give suggestions for grade 6 pieces, especially duets? I'm going to be doing a duet next year with a friend who is grade 3, so she will have to play up. The duet is for a local festival so difficulty isn't a huge factor but we want to do something fun. For example, we both play softball on the same team so we can wear our ball uniforms for the festival if it's baseball themed. Thank you. I loved your ideas for sight reading.
Grapefruit [GD] During The last months I learnt nocturne op9 n2, waltz op69 n1 and now I’m learning Pirates of the Caribbean arranged by Jarrod Radnich
Master- Andre I’m currently learning the nocturne op. 9 no. 2 myself. I’m also learning Fantasie Impromptu which is also another one I would recommend. It’s really not that hard.
Grapefruit [GD] wow really? I think that fantasie impromptu is really difficult, but I’ve never tried to learn it. Maybe this summer I’ll try. Thank you 👍🏼
I'm confuse. i'm studying Suzuki piano Method, and sonatina anh115 is before Anh 114. And Muzio Clemente Op 36 come from Book 3 beethoven sonatina comes on 2 book too i'm really confuse :(
bSharpCyclist That's level 9?!😳 I thought 1 level equals about a year... (I'm from Germany, so I have never had any experience with American piano learning system)
how fast you learn depends mostly on how much you practice and how well you and your teacher use that time. You could go through early levels as fast as 3 months or it could take a year if you can't put in as much time. There's also no harm in trying a piece a bit more difficult than you are used to playing, or rearranging it with smaller chords and simpler runs.
Yea, it seems kind of high. I would imagine though if you were to play this as a substitute for an etude in an RCM 9 examination, that it would need to be spot on in terms of dynamics, rubato, etc.
I've had intermediate students learn this piece successfully (probably around level 4 or 5), though it would obviously take them more work than someone at a higher level.
Hi! Thank you for all of your fantastic video's! They help me a lot as a starting piano teacher! But what do you think of Burgmüller's op. 100? (the book with 25 easy and progressive studies) Is this also a grade 4 book? Thanks in advance! Kind regards Mathias
I am gr 6-7 but found this video so helpful. Thank you! No thanks to the house tiger in litter box. Haha! I love cats. Your selections are excellent. .. looking forward to finding and trying these pieces.
You have piqued my interest in Norton. Although I love classical, my heart lays in jazz, and the Great American Songbook. I’ll look into his works. Thanks!
As you progress through the grades, the pieces become more complex and challenging. They require more technqiue. Think or reading. A grade 1 student would never be able to read a grade 12 level book. They don't have the vocabulary, knowledge to comprehend the content, or even the techical ablility to read the words. If you look at the RCM grade 1 pieces, some of them are very challenging for the level, and if you look at the grade 2 pieces, some are much easier than the others for that level. You could make a case for moving the harder grade 1 pieces to grade 2, and easier grade 2 pieces to grade 1, but that does not solve anything really. There's always going to be variation within a grade. And the separation between them is not always going to be so clean cut, there's some that fall in between.
@@Wenneguen This is an old thread: excuse the belated comment. If you were in any particular level in grade/high-school you’ll find some subjects to be easy and other subjects to be very difficult but they’re all in the same grade. I, personally, find music levels to be the same.

8:58 I love this moment in the Norton Deep in Though piece! It’s sooooo beautiful!
Love the cat 😅 Mine miaowed JUST as I was finishing recording a piece and was happy with it. I nearly returned her to the shelter.
Jazz pianist here. About the last piece: You'd basically always play left hand Walking base lines very legato.
Good inspiring video for pieces for my students nonetheless, thanks!
Could you do an analysis/tutorial kinda video on Debussy's Deux Arabesque? Thanks for the video :)
Super informative channel Allysia! Thank you for this.
I really liked the piece Sonatina in F Major by Diabelli.
bSharpCyclist I chose that for my Level 4 exam way back 😊
Caleb Onstead I was going to take the exam in December and play this. I took level 3 exam back in May. However I was out of town in December. So my teacher passed me for level 4. She didn't think there was a huge difference between 3 and 4. However, 5 is harder she said so I will take that exam instead along with theory exam, when I am ready :)
Need more subscribers for such a great channel!

The last song was used in back to the future!
Excellent
Bach minuet and clementi sonatina are grade 4 ? Those are among the first things i learned.
I played the Doll’s Funeral in my first year of piano!
i love your videos
:)
Linus and Lucy is transposed down a half step in this version. Maybe it would be a higher difficulty otherwise?
Yes - that and the fact that this version doesn't include any of the other parts (like the really cool jazz section toward the end).
I love how long these videos are
great content as always.
Hi, Allysia! Missing your videos about books and RCM grades. Hope you're well.
Which grade are the nocturne op 9 n 2 and the waltz op 69 n 1 of Chopin?
Probably around ABRSM 7...
For the Nocturne, it is pretty much at RCM 10/ABRSM 8 or just a little above. But to play it really well requires significant experience to get the phrasing right. The waltz is a little easier, ABRSM 6 to 7.
K S ok, Thank you very much👌🏼
Both rcm 9 Henle 6
Cool ! 👍
Hi I am writing clever pieces called italian dances, it is a repetoire for myself to introduce myself to the classical canon
Can you give suggestions for grade 6 pieces, especially duets? I'm going to be doing a duet next year with a friend who is grade 3, so she will have to play up. The duet is for a local festival so difficulty isn't a huge factor but we want to do something fun. For example, we both play softball on the same team so we can wear our ball uniforms for the festival if it's baseball themed. Thank you. I loved your ideas for sight reading.
Could you possibly do a video of Liszt's 12 Transcendental Études?
With her playing Mazeppa and Feux Follets :DD
Flewn that would be so cool of she played them. Even if she didn't play them, im still looking for a cool analysis.
I'd also like to see an analysis of those etudes
lol she can't even play winter wind or revolutionary I doubt she can play those pieces. If she can I apologize
Agamaz even so, i still think she is knowledgeable enough give us some sort of information about the Études.
Could you, please record your top choices at least for levels 5 -7.. ;)
Jakub T yeha i also wanna know your top of 5-7 level
My nickname in my music theory class is Scarlatti😂 because my name is Dominique which is pretty close to Domenico
Can you suggest me some Chopin’s pieces that I can learn?
What is your level?
Grapefruit [GD] During The last months I learnt nocturne op9 n2, waltz op69 n1 and now I’m learning Pirates of the Caribbean arranged by Jarrod Radnich
Master- Andre Possibly Grand Valse Brilliante or Waltz in C# Minor Op. 69 No. 2.
Master- Andre I’m currently learning the nocturne op. 9 no. 2 myself. I’m also learning Fantasie Impromptu which is also another one I would recommend. It’s really not that hard.
Grapefruit [GD] wow really? I think that fantasie impromptu is really difficult, but I’ve never tried to learn it. Maybe this summer I’ll try. Thank you 👍🏼
I'm confuse.
i'm studying Suzuki piano Method, and sonatina anh115 is before Anh 114. And Muzio Clemente Op 36 come from Book 3
beethoven sonatina comes on 2 book too
i'm really confuse :(
What Grade is Yiruma - River Flows In You?
It's in the RCM Level 9 Popular Selection List
bSharpCyclist That's level 9?!😳
I thought 1 level equals about a year...
(I'm from Germany, so I have never had any experience with American piano learning system)

Do a list for LRCM grade pieces lol
Ha! Maybe one day.
pianoTV haha yea we’ll get there someday :) I hope 🤞
I'm hoping to get ARCTs in Piano Pedagogy and Performance and then the LRCM eventually myself... It is a journey 😊
Caleb Onstead well good luck 🙏🏼
Hi!
Thank you for all of your fantastic video's!
They help me a lot as a starting piano teacher!
But what do you think of Burgmüller's op. 100? (the book with 25 easy and progressive studies)
Is this also a grade 4 book?
Thanks in advance!
Kind regards
Mathias
They're very easy
Night Train reminds me of Back to the Future. I need to watch that again. :)
I just watched the original a few weeks ago! Still cheesy and enjoyable as ever.
I am gr 6-7 but found this video so helpful. Thank you! No thanks to the house tiger in litter box. Haha! I love cats. Your selections are excellent. .. looking forward to finding and trying these pieces.
My cat is such a troll.
You have piqued my interest in Norton. Although I love classical, my heart lays in jazz, and the Great American Songbook. I’ll look into his works. Thanks!
Me: I'm definitely between grade 2-3
The very next piece of my book:
Clementi,Sonatina op. 36 no. 2
We need grade 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10
You categorize those pieces as " easy " or " challenging ", but aren't they all supposed to be equally difficult as they are of the same grade?
No, even pieces at the same grade level have a widd range of difficulty. Each piece also has its own challenges.
shinyam75 What does a grade even mean then ?
As you progress through the grades, the pieces become more complex and challenging. They require more technqiue. Think or reading. A grade 1 student would never be able to read a grade 12 level book. They don't have the vocabulary, knowledge to comprehend the content, or even the techical ablility to read the words.
If you look at the RCM grade 1 pieces, some of them are very challenging for the level, and if you look at the grade 2 pieces, some are much easier than the others for that level. You could make a case for moving the harder grade 1 pieces to grade 2, and easier grade 2 pieces to grade 1, but that does not solve anything really.

Yay kitty litter box lol
