Since you have a teacher, why are you asking in a forum?  Surely if you are preparing for a grade, your teacher is organizing this for you. (??)

My teacher gives me piano pieces to play for my exam also exercises scales questions on the piece I will be playing also sight reading and other exercises she is also helping me to learn to play simple ballads - I just wanted to to see if I could buy a book on very simple classical pieces to do in my non exam playing time - I just do not want to saturate my lesson with other non essential things as I can hardly get through my essential learning in the one hour - I just thought there would be someone on the forum who could guide me a bit into playing a little classical music on piano.
