Oh I see. Mine doesn't seem to fit the definition.
How about completion of Lina Ng Level 2 = Grade 1?chamonix:
:yikes: No wonder it's hard work. Of all pianists, Valentina Lisitsa has a reputation of practicing 13-14 hours a day before her concerts!we look forward to those by professional performers such as these http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=09oNj9UYM7g and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yAsDLGjMhFI . DS was supposed to perform Fur Elise as his recital piece last year. His teacher was teaching him to express the music like the lady in the second clip. The way the hands and fingers (even the body) move makes a great difference in delivering the music. Hard work.

She didn't do Lina Ng's books. Anyway, it's a long story...chamonix:

Piano playing is not JUST about delivering music but it is also visual, that’s why it is more exciting and satisfying to watch a performance than merely listen to a CD recording. Every movement of the hand, body to the facial expression speaks of the music being played.
Chamonix, I would say the pieces are around a ABRSM gr 2 standard as one gets simple repetitive patterns. -
Thanks, jce!

Could someone share how good the children fair when they take piano grade exams like grade 3 before age 10?
Also, how early can a child have the ABRSM prep test? -
Hi parents,
just like to ask you this. I don't always follow the local news. Is there any instances in the last 3 years that a 6 year old manage to pass grade 5 piano with distinction? I could only find this article that dated two years ago.

The article said ‘passed with a score of 117’ not distinction
Regardless of score, I think it’s impressive for a 6yo to be able to deliver grade 5 pieces -
Yes I am aware that the girl in article only got a pass. I contacted abrsm and according to them there are 6 year olds who has managed to get grade 5 distinctions before in singapore. However for obvious confidentiality issue, they cant disclose more info. So I figure I may ask here if there is any news of this for the last couple of years. I am doing a study on graded exam system currently and planning to write a paper on it.

I am not aware of any 6 year olds with distinctions. But it is entirely possible one of the young talents have achieved this feat. Anyway, I don’t think it is that hard for any teachers to achieve this as long a child is reasonably talented and hardworking.

It is highly possible for a six years old to score distinction for piano. My kid is taking both violin and piano next year, both grade 5. He is currently 7 years old.
