    I’m glad you taught me how slurs and ties work, both are extremely important to the instrument of piano, rather hearing cut of notes also pitches. Making songs especially in the TRC book makes it sound really smooth and it just teaches me.

    Thanks for this summary Stefan, as usual, it was interesting and very informative. Trinity has adopted something new recently for the pieces where they allow students to use past pieces so you do not have to buy new books to have the latest pieces if you already had books with older syllabi.

    I'm back watching this after one year and I faithfully played through Vol. 1 twice. For some reason, I didn't practice Vol. 2, but that has changed this week. I've been playing two part Bach Chorales and Burgmller up to about the 10th song. I'm transposing them into other keys, so it's taking me longer. But it really helps for music theory.

    CORRECTION: In RCM the number of pieces can range from 3 to 5 depending on the level (1-10).

    Could you do a video about trying to follow these solo and doing these exams completely online? I don't have any locations near me that i could get lessons or do exams. The info online seems very confusing, looks like abrsm offers some exams online but not everything, not sure if the others are any better.

    Thank you for your comprehensive research. You have set out a good program to make an informed decision. I am still deciding. I started with Trinity and AMEB to grade three many years ago and I would like to continue on to be a piano teacher. Do you have any suggestions Thank you for your comprehensive coverage. 🕊

    Actually level 8 for teaching elementary levels. Level 9 for intermediate. Some successful student exams are also required.

    I completed ABRSM Music Theory from each Grade of 5 to 8. And I personally feel that the theory syllabus makes more sense compared to the other boards. In terms of Piano, I did Trinity and yes, the scales and studies really help a lot in the development of the technical skills. The piano pieces for ABRSM and Trinity are more or less about the same, and one cannot simply assume ABRSM pieces are harder than Trinity; or vice versa. For Violin and Viola, I did ABRSM cos those are my principal instruments and the exam board was determined by my teachers last time.

    I am a hardcore gamer who can precisely press any button on the keyboard in a millisecond and I always had an interest in piano... I bought a keyboard yesterday and my fingers refuse to do anything independently... "They dive together or not at all" I thought piano would be comparatively easier or atleast a little bit familiar but he'll no... My brain literally gets fried everytime I sit to play... My left and right hands refuse to sync and my hand placement and sliding is definitely shit...

    oh this just made something click in my mind, For grade 4 piano i had to play a tango. I had never played that type of music at the easier levels. Looking back I could have looked for tangos i grade 1-3 level. it might have made it easier. Thanks for the tip!

    We all have busy lives. Before we get into piano (keyboard), we should plan ahead how much time we can practice each day. If we have many activities during the week, we need to consider what is more important and drop some of the less important ones if we want to focus on piano. Many parents enroll their kids into a music program or with a private teacher. if they're going to spend many hours on social media, they're not interested in piano. People who are interested in piano and have the time would practice at least an hour a day. A person who practices regularly everyday would add up to at least 365 hours a year. Keeping track of his practice hours wouldn't be necessary. It's only the ones who lack the motivation to practice need to keep record of the hours. If a person feels he needs to be reminded to practice all the time, he's probably not interested in music and should consider quitting.

    Love this. I am playing Burgmuller pieces to improve technique. The tempo as in the sheet is far too fast and in any case, the pieces sound much better slower. Do have more tutorials on Burgmuller please. I am a self learner and appreciate your analysis of the notes. Thank you.

    I went looking for the rest of Czerny's Opus 823 hoping to find more pieces on this same level. They are available for free on the IMSLP website. I see though that in the original, Czerny focuses on both parts being written in treble clef and doesn't introduce bass clef until number 41. He gets significantly more advanced before he brings in the bass clef. I'm trying to decide whether to practice pieces from 823 in the original (only treble clef) versions or to transcribe some of them on MuseScore to bring the left hand down an octave onto the bass clef. (PS, I have purchased your level 1 beginner piano course book and am working my way through that. I am also awaiting delivery of the Piano Adventures All in One book. While I am pretty new to piano, I do play other instruments (guitar, recorder, some cello) so am conversant in basic music theory. Thanks! I'm finding this course very useful!

    Well, I tried it. It didn't seem to work as well with the melody line being that much lower. It was helpful to transcribe it without the fingerings of the notes on it. It's more challenging to play without the fingers being marked but it's better for my sight reading to not have them.
