My Favorite Grade 5 Books (RCM)

[@paulthomas281]

This video is marvellous. Thank you so much. I am only at RCM 1 right now (yes, I did RCM Prep A and B, and I learned a lot). But hopefully, one day, I will get to RMC Level 5.

Very helpful that you now show a picture of the music book you are talking about. Easier to take notes and recognize the book for the future. Glad you are always making improvements to your videos. Thank you!

Your whole channel gives me confidence in the fact that younger people around our age will continue to practice and cherish the more classical elements of piano playing. 😭😭😭

Haydn wrote circa 60 sonatas (depending how we count the single movements ones). About 2 thirds are at the same technical difficulty level as Mozart sonatas. The last ones are masterpieces in the piano repertoire at equivalent level with Mozart and Beethoven.

I'm not grade 5 but I have a few of these books. I've learnt In Church recently, I love that one. I tend to drift towards darker sounding pieces.

[@adazhou570]

Could you please do one for grade 6 please?😽

Thanks for this video series, really liked it and found some books that I will buy - I also shared all those videos in my "Sheet Music - Old & New" group on Facebook, so thanks a lot.

Hi Allysia, I just get a head start with Bach’s little prelude. I managed to play the easiest BWV 939, but I found that the others are a bit tough for me at this moment.

[@rubyabarlow7991]

Can you pleeeeease do a grade 6 video!!!!

[@BRL1611]

Are you going to finish the series??

@pianoTV - When you work through such a book and you get to a piece that you really don't like - what do you recommend to do? Bite yourself through it just to learn the techniques, or is it okay to skip it, if you really can't stand it? I'm a piano beginner (but not as a musician, I've already played guitar, bass and drums for many years, in bands etc.) and I'm working myself through the Alfred Adult books right now. And I find that I'm having a hard time learning a piece that I really don't like, even though it might not be so hard actually. So am I just wasting my time when I still try to learn all the pieces, or should I skip such hate-pieces? ^^ What would you recomment if I was your student? THX!

[@SaraMGreads]

rathork MHO as a fellow learner - it’s okay to skip the odd piece, but if you skip more than a few in the Alfred’s book, you may be setting yourself up for a problem later on. Maybe you could find an alternate piece that incorporates the same technique. Did you know that Alfred’s has a bunch of companion books with great pieces? I can dig up a link if you’re interested.

[@rathork]

Thank you for your response. :) And yes, I am interested in your link! I also do have another book, it's "Jazz, Rags & Blues" by Martha Mier, it's awesome, but it's not directly connected to the Alfred's progress or so. It's just some very cool jazzy bluesy piano pieces for beginners to early intermediates which help me to stay motivated and to breathe some new life into it every now and then. :) Do you know the Alfred's adult books?

[@rubyabarlow7991]

A combined 6-8 or anything about mid to late intermediate level video would be great

[@emmacampbell8458]

I LOVE in church!!! 🥰

[@cantplaypiano7971]

Dear Allysia, I was wondering if you could help me out, as you seem to be very familiar with the RCM/ABRSM grades: I'm playing mostly Henle difficulty grade 5 pieces - does this equals RCM / ABRSM 5 or is it generally higher/lower? Would be really helpful if you could give me a direction for RCM / ABRSM 🥺

[@Miicrowahvei]

Do you think one can play with a limit of three octaves? Maybe a simple sonatina or other simpler pieces where both hands are still used?

[@etudeando]

I'm not entirely sure that Schumman Op 68 is grade 5 I guess is like 3 or 4 just like the Tchaikovsky is , perhaps Shcuman Op 15 is RCM 5

[@samanehfldi1433]

You’re not gonna make grade 5 favorite pieces? 😢

[@thestickiestman]

Do Henle next
