I only just did my grade 4 exam (performance) havent even got the results yet and i have learnt A1 in like 5 days... I saw it and thought it looked like an easy piece and sounds good too so I tried learning it

[@spiral32]

yoooo I actually played A1 like last week I’m so glad it’s in the syllabus now I don’t have to learn another piece

[@HampsteadPianoAcademy]

Lucky you

[@ashsfinalful]

B2 B3 and C3 are stunning pieces.

[@HampsteadPianoAcademy]

Jazzy ones ;)

[@Jiafei-wy1rk]

This gets me thinking about next year’s exam 😭

[@HampsteadPianoAcademy]

I feel like this is actually easier than last years ones,I played A2 when I was between grade 4 or grade 5😊

[@HampsteadPianoAcademy]

Lots of people start having this same feeling...

[@Lifewith_zm]

@GDfamed Real.

[@GregoryNurheman]

Best songs to pick when you're lazy to practice (My opinion and C2 and B1 is amazing) A1 = Scores is when you play fast You got the style Very very fast hands Dynamics B3 = FOCUS ON THE KEY SIGNATURES got the style Good dynamics Spirit and natural play no artificial made C3 = Like Jazz Think about playing in a cafe Be with spirit and style Think happy Natural play A1 is easy because almost everyone knows that song :) B3 is easy because not that hard notes and slow tempo so you can look if you got the right notes. C3 is easy because the notes is very easy like 2023/2024 Grade 4 abrsm B1

[@sinokitasgaming3042]

I think A1 should be a lot faster as it is a dance because when I play that song in burgmuller It was so good when it's fast

i was so excited about that but then listened to it and it’s a bad one imo

[@carolteng5888]

Would you consider this new syllabus to be more difficult than the last one?

[@HampsteadPianoAcademy]

Easier

[@nazakat333]

For Schubert's waltz, it feels like ABRSM made the tempo too fast. In every video I have seen of that piece, I measure the metronome as a crotchet = c.80 and it feels more waltz-like at that tempo. I know some waltzes are written to be faster, like Grieg's one from the Grade 4 Exam Pieces, but a tempo like this one for this waltz doesn’t sit right. If I pass Grade 4 next July, I want to go into Grade 5 knowing I won’t be penalised for my own interpretation of the piece's tempo.

[@HampsteadPianoAcademy]

Realize when in between brackets , metronome markings belong to the editor, not the composer

[@techneo.one.1]

And also how did you learn all the pieces when these song were only released recently! You're a master!!!

[@HampsteadPianoAcademy]

The C ones are pretty balanced,nothing to say except for C3,pretty weird😅

[@HampsteadPianoAcademy]

so you would not choose this one=)?

[@dau1514]

01:07 A2

[@GDfamed]

Overall,I think this year’s piece is balanced.

[@fayewong2652]

The best piece is B1

[@HampsteadPianoAcademy]

Cool 😎

[@Lifewith_zm]

I’m here trying to choose my 4th piece for my grade 4-5 exam so I can finish my grade 5-6 exam quicker

[@Lifewith_zm]

That’s at least what I did for my grade 3-4 exam

[@HampsteadPianoAcademy]

Which ones do you like so far?

[@GDfamed]

However,the B ones are harder,especially B1.It’s a very popular song,so it’s pretty hard.

[@HampsteadPianoAcademy]

Which would be your selection if you had to take this exam?

[@GDfamed]

I’m already grade 7,just curious about this years pieces:)

[@Lifewith_zm]

Lol😊

C3 is kind of weird. It's really nice they have the someone you loved!

[@chandrashekharpanchami1261]

Yeah I know

[@calvin2013]

Ive noticed your fingering is sometimes off from whats notated on the score for example at 11:44. Is this what comes natural to you or am i reading it wrong

[@HampsteadPianoAcademy]

might not be the only place:)

[@calvin2013]

@@HampsteadPianoAcademy how do you decide?

[@sophieluvscatsidk]

@@calvin2013i always make it up as i go along. has never failed me before. wouldn’t be surprised to find that i use different fingers every time tbh!

[@calvin2013]

@@sophieluvscatsidk i don’t think you should be doing that though. There are definitely times where i stray away from the scores fingering because it feels more comfortable, but you should then stick with that fingering. If youre changing them everytime you’re just making it more difficult for yourself to learn it
