Typical 8 grade student piano program?

on: January 29, 2013, 08:12:52 PM

Hi

If you've ever attend a 8 grade course, what was your piano program during the academic year toward the final exam?
how many etude, pieces, and from which author did you have to bring up to the examination?

Logged

Beethoven piano Sonata 26 op.81 "Les Adieux"
Bach WTC I n.14; II n.12, n.18
Chopin op.10 n.12
Rachmaninov prelude 12 in G#min op.32
Moscheles op.70 n. 15

I've never heard of an"8th grade course". Only people doing 8th grade repertoire with the aim of passing and 8th grade exam. Where are you doing this course?

There are a number of different bodies that examine and award Grade 8 certificates. The most common are ABRSM, Trinity, AMEB etc. They have different (albeit similar) prerequisites and examination requirements, so what works for one will not necessarily work for another. You would need to check with whatever board you were looking at as to their exect requirements.

For example, the ABRSM Grade 8 syllabus can be found here:
