Trinity Grade 2 Piano (from 2021) - 12 Pieces

[@JulianLambert]

Cazonet - yes, it should be a C-sharp - thanks Gary. www.trinitycollege.com/qualifications/music/grade-exams/syllabus-errata#piano

[@virkaushal9211]

A friend told me that in canzonet, the c-sharp wasn't there due to a printing error, is that by any chance true? I didn't check the link you sent yet!

[@stephenbranley91]

Thanks for posting all these videos, Julian. I don't think you realise how much we all appreciate them. You're our first port of call when we want to see how a piece *should* sound!

[@JulianLambert]

That's wonderful to hear - thanks so much Stephen.

[@ravinidikonda8791]

[@Samrily11]

Thank you Julian for song Nuff said ,Marzuka,Bendin'the rules, Canzonet, and Island in the sun.

[@jadagonzales2022]

I'm supposed to play the 2018-2020 syllabus for November but I don't know if they will still have it in my country because of Covid-19. Thanks again for such lovely playing and please continue to record more of their new syllabus for the other grades. Also I was supposed to do their Grade 5 Theory in May but Covid-19 had not too long come into my country so it has been postponed since then......... Don't know when they will have it though.

[@aditaggarwal3486]

FreuDich strongly reminds me of Canon in D by Pachelbel: The key signature, chord progression, and tempo are the same!

[@manointachat7841]

Agreed I love this piece so much

[@tina.turner5]

Thanks Julian, I'm nine and practicing piano for seven yrs now, so I'm trying to learn minuet in g, penguin parade and nuff said, tysm!

[@silverphantom8937]

i didn't know they added freudich back to the syllabus. i think i played it in 2017 when it was in the syllabus lol

[@JulianLambert]

Yes, quite possibly. Many syllabuses do this with pieces hanging on from one syllabus to the next.

[@potatoeslalala]

Did you find anything out about the C/C# in bar 11 of Canzonet? Didn't see anything in the description

[@JulianLambert]

Ooh, thanks for the nudge. No, nothing yet ...

[@potatoeslalala]

@Gary Preston Thank you!!

[@pianobymustafabb7299]

Thank you. Are you planning to shoot grade 1?

[@JulianLambert]

Yes, this week in fact. Plan to publish a week today.

[@nagakumaripamarthipamarthi4627]

Thanks for this video 5:07

[@Ramesheela]

I like the fun fair blues with backing track

[@JulianLambert]

You can download it from my website www.julianlambert.org

[@nicolacllee]

Thanks. Julian. Fun Fair Blues is one of my cup of tea. I love the feeling of blue but what is the characteristic of blue and jazz? I watch some aspect in these but still can’t figure it out.

[@JulianLambert]

Ooh, the characteristics of Blues might include swing or syncopated rhythms, established chord patterns and harmony where 7th chords (especially dom 7th) are used. Lots to uncover.

[@nicolacllee]

Thanks, Julian. I just start this piece. It do take time for me to manage. By the way, I can't speed up to standard even after sometime. How to made use of waist, forearm or any other method. Thanks again.

[@ashmusic6708]

Thnx a lot sir ❤️❤️

[@J-Stan-Keyboardist]

Hi Julian thanks so much for this video, appreciate you!! Quick question. For the Minuet in G, don’t we have to repeat those on line 2 & the last line as it’s indicated? Thanks

[@JulianLambert]

Hi John, no, we shouldn't play repeats for the exam itself. You may like to look at p.15 of the syllabus drive.google.com/file/d/1HuXFIeWV_wgPfJF99dfxyxgzKnSc5q_o/view?usp=drivesdk

[@J-Stan-Keyboardist]

Thanks for the info. I read pg15 where it says to observe repeats if few bars only but not longer ones (which I believe indicates not repeating a whole line) 👍🏽

[@leoniebotha3307]

I'm 13 and I'm almost done with with my exam to go to grade 2

[@jacquelyncalistachen7668]

'Bendin the Rules is kinda like a jazz genre

[@jacquelyncalistachen7668]

And also really funky

[@chaddah1]

Because it was composed by a jazz compozer

[@secretmission7607]

Great video - thanks! Regarding the two pieces you played with backing tracks: would these pieces be performed with these backing tracks in the exam?

[@JulianLambert]

No, I'm afraid not, the backing tracks are just for practice ...and for fun!

[@Kuromifan-c5b]

Your 'welcome

[@babeksaber2702]

Thanks

[@memos1918]

Woooooooooooooow so go I like the canzonet pies

[@sharvanievents2000]

Can we get pdf of this 12exercise plz.. Because it cost

[@RoshniS]

I love these videos.... they're so systematic and easy to understand....I've learnt piano for quite some time so I'm thinking of giving exams and figuring out what grade I should give....I had a question though....at the end of the piece "fun fair blues" what chord is that on the last bar? It sounds like a jazz chord!

[@JulianLambert]

Thx so much for your lovely feedback Roshni.

[@Dominique632]

Hello Julian! I hope you're doing well.. I was wondering wether you would have grade 6 ready before next year?

for Minuet in G , do we skip 8 and 29 completely or do we need to play them and then go to the following bars?

[@JulianLambert]

Omit bars 8 & 29, exactly as I show in the video.

[@juanfateen3000]

Can someone please tell me what I should be doing about the mistake in canzonet and if I should play it c natural or c sharp during exam

C sharp, there's a note in the description below the video.

Hi Julian, great videos. I have a couple of questions. One, i think i could handle those pieces, im playing bartok 24 from mikrokosmos 1, and czerny 599 number 13. Which grade do you recommend. And second the extended edition book if its worthy or it depends which pieces i prefer? Thanks, and greets from Argentina!

[@JulianLambert]

You'll find playlist for the various grades on my KZbin channel. You need to find the level that challenges you. The pieces ought not be playable after 30 mins work.

There's no 'best', I wouldn't worry too much about which route you take, ultimately, they all lead to the same place, step by step! Enjoy the journey!
