Piano examination in the UK
on: February 14, 2009, 07:36:59 PM
  Ok I'm looking to take a piano examination at diploma level since I now have a uni diploma in music theory. I am thinking either Trinity college of music or Royal academy of music for piano performance, can some-one tell me what pieces they are asking for so that I can start work . I will much appreciate your help, I will give them a call, but I'm sure I can get the info here. Tanx in advance.

I don't know for sure about RAM and RCM, but the TCM syllabus is available online, complete with all the recommended repertoire for every instrument at every level.

 Syllabus wasn't available online, I had to give them a call, the've send me all the info ( a lot to read through). At diploma level I've chosen Schubert Impromptu and Brahms Rahapsodies or Racmaninoff prelude in G and G# minor, since I've learnt these in the past all I have to do is to re-learn them and apply for the exam. I'm sure standard is heigh, but it is a recital so it might be fun.
 
 If you guyz need some info let me know.
