What are grade levels?
on: April 21, 2004, 09:42:37 PM
I have been playing the piano for about 7 years,and am 14.And I have never heard of grade levels. I was reading some different questions from various people and they were writing about grade levels. What does that mean? Do you know how I would find out what grade level I am at?

:)Dhanx a bunch!

The ABRSM has a way of classifying the level of someone's playing by a series of theory and practice tests. The average person should finish one grade a year (ideally), but some skip, and some fall short...

I looked through that list, and I just had to laugh. All the pieces I could play with an incredible ease. And I've been playing for less than 4 years! Although, most of my teachers told me that I advanced at an incredible pace... so...

Okay, I know this is ridiculous, but I was going around, and I believe that link above hacked into my gmail account. SO yeah. Like a few minutes after I clicked it, I got an email reading my account has been logged in from a new device. So yeah.. I don't know what I went her in the first place...

Note, this thread was started in 2004.

If in doubt of a link, paste the link into a search engine to see if anything turns up.  Looks like it has something to do with the ABRSM forums (at least at the time of this writing).  This link was from 2004, things could have changed since then.

The link above is giving me a security warning about certificates.
