    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

      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.

    Linus and Lucy is transposed down a half step in this version. Maybe it would be a higher difficulty otherwise?

    • @PianotvNet
      @PianotvNet  7 років тому +2

      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).

    Which grade are the nocturne op 9 n 2 and the waltz op 69 n 1 of Chopin?

    • @kvnjng
      @kvnjng 7 років тому +1

      Probably around ABRSM 7...

    • @sdka9922
      @sdka9922 7 років тому

      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.

    • @harrytempleton5705
      @harrytempleton5705 7 років тому +1

      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.

    • @bSharpHacker
      @bSharpHacker 7 років тому

      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.

    • @PianotvNet
      @PianotvNet  7 років тому +3

      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.

    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!

  • @Wenneguen
    @Wenneguen 7 років тому

    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?

    • @shinyam75
      @shinyam75 7 років тому +4

      No, even pieces at the same grade level have a widd range of difficulty. Each piece also has its own challenges.

    • @Wenneguen
      @Wenneguen 7 років тому

      shinyam75 What does a grade even mean then ?

    • @shinyam75
      @shinyam75 7 років тому +3

      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.
