I'm not familiar with the graded examinations but I just wanted to say nice playing! Which piece is it? I think it sounds pretty cool and looks comfortable to play, might be a good piece to teach?

 its called gypsy earrings by bret adams. its in the alfreds group piano book 2 second edition the green one. the first solo piece. on page 18

Ah cool. I learned from one of the Alfred books early on but I don't remember what it's called. How do you like the group piano book?

[alexanderruiseco]

I think Alfred is good for starting out but only the red and green one for group the all in ones and the learning series is way to basic I don’t like the design and there’s not enough content. Very redundant and to much babying The group ones have solo, ensemble, sight reading, theory, harmony, and etudes in every chapter. At the end a bunch of repertoire and then from there I started and also  I want to learn the green book on my own since there weren’t many pianists in my school I couldn’t continue to study it but it was college requirements at both of my university
