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.
Instrumentalists are all wannabe singers. Discuss.

 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.
