Hi, thank you so much for uploading great videos with useful tips. I recently watched some of your videos about piano technique level/grade systems and I want to know does any other of these piano technique systems has a searchable database like henle's website which we can find the difficulty level of famous pieces there ?

I NEED THIS VID THANK YOU and i know my scales too

[@mishca5116]

Excellent video! I'm curious if you or other teachers or students could tell me - does RCM proficiency of scales require memorising the scales? I mean, if I am to meet RCM requirements - should I bbe memorising my scales or are the grade requirements still met if you play with aid of sheet music? I'm at a grade 6-7 level but am at middle age and honestly don't have the time to memorise. Perhaps more importantly, I just can't see to remember scales as I once did. I'm curious what RCM expects. Thank you.

Yep you have to memorise it. The RCM syllabus tells you what scales they expect you to play proficiently and they'll pick a few scales on your exam day. So you should learn and memorise everything in case they ask it.

I would really like if you could say the scale name then count down so we could play along.

What specific scales should I practice?

I'm not sure I agree ABRSM grade 5 is more difficult (referring to technical work only). I don't know why ABRSM get rid of broken chords after I think g2, and like your RCM solid chords and actually practice them...fast chord progressions are the thing I struggle most with, but are in most pieces from intermediate level. Also, I think I heard your cat 😀
